Located within the iconic Central Park in New York City, the Adventure Playground offers a distinctive play experience for school-age children. Situated on a hill near the park's West 67th Street entrance, this playground stands out for its unique design and focus on imaginative play.
Originally designed by architect Richard Dattner in the 1960s, the Adventure Playground was a pioneer in the "adventure-style" playground movement. This approach emphasizes natural materials, open spaces, and creative structures to stimulate children's curiosity and encourage them to engage in unstructured play.
While specific details about the playground's current features may vary, adventure playgrounds typically include elements such as:
- Wooden structures: These can range from climbing frames and bridges to platforms and huts, providing opportunities for physical activity and imaginative play.
- Sand and water areas: These elements offer sensory experiences and allow children to build, dig, and explore different textures.
- Loose parts: These might include items like tires, ropes, and crates, which children can use to create their own play structures and scenarios.
The Adventure Playground aims to:
- Encourage exploration: The playground's design encourages children to discover and interact with their environment in their own way.
- Inspire creative play: The open-ended nature of the play space allows children to use their imaginations and develop their own games and activities.
- Promote social interaction: The playground provides a space for children to play together, fostering cooperation and communication skills.
Additional Information:
- Age range: The Adventure Playground is primarily designed for school-age children.
- Restrooms: There are no restrooms located directly at the playground.
- Accessibility: The playground features an accessible surface, water feature, and sand table.
How to Visit:
The Adventure Playground is located on the west side of Central Park, near 67th Street. It is easily accessible by public transportation or by walking from other areas of the park. For detailed directions, you can use a navigation app or visit the Central Park Conservancy website.
Please note:
It's always a good idea to check the Central Park Conservancy website or call (212) 310-6600 for the most up-to-date information about the Adventure Playground, including any temporary closures or changes in features.
Enjoy your visit to the Adventure Playground and let your children's imaginations run wild!

It鈥檚 an Adventure Playground indeed. So many obstacles and structures to explore. Our group of explorers loved it along with a pick-up game of hide and seek. Mostly all well behaved kids and feels like a safe park with only one egress 馃洕馃ぉ馃

If your visiting NYC with your kids ideal ages is 7 to 12 this is a interesting spot. Made in 1966 restored in the 1990s so plenty of sand, stone, concrete. Built by Robert Moses the Power Broker that made all the major infrastructure good or bad in New York! Helpful tip the hours are from sunrise to sunset

A fun and creative playground in Central Park! Has fun rock structures, sand areas and water features as well.

Edit: rats galore. Minus a star. Original four star review: Very cool playground for older kids (3 and over). There are several multi level structures to climb, progressively harder, good for kids as young as 2.5 and as old as 12. The place is in very good shape, probably recently renovated. There is a nice size sprinkler section, with a 'river' that runs through half the park. There are no restrooms and no swings. There are several mature trees providing plenty of shade. There is seating for parents along the perimeter. Overall one of the best playgrounds in the park.
