Chelsea Waterside Playground

One of the best playgrounds in midtown Manhattan, located at Chelsea, near the pier 62. There’s a big fun slider and a big sand box. There are public toilets nearby. It may get a little crowded at summer weekends….

The play structure are modern and sophisticated. There are two water area for older and younger kids, a climbing structure with a long slide landing in a visually clean sand pit. I would've given 5 star if not for the following COVID-related concern. During our visit there were a group of teenagers dominating the park without wearing masks. On top of that, about 50% of the parents took off their masks in the park. Also, the floor is very slippery, I've seen people of any age falling down while walking or running. So the parents definitely want to keep an eye on this.

The large slide is closed until further notice. Few benches and some are poorly place and soaked by the water jets.

It's a really well designed playground.

One of my favorite water parks in the downtown area - always clean and that’s important to me. Thank you for always keeping it clean and hope the grownups can do the same as well. Nice hidden little gem with so many water sprinklers of all sizes, huge sand area and slide - the slide needs repairing so the slide is close for the moment but the park is functioning regardless.
