Play in Brooklyn Bridge Park

Nestled in the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge Park area lie some of the most amazing playgrounds for little kids that you will likely ever see. Make the most of these free playgrounds before your kids outgrow them. Be sure to check out: the Pier 1 toddler playground, which features the best view of any playground you’re ever going to see - the backdrop is the lower Manhattan skyline, the brand new Pier 5 little kid playgrounds, and the spectacular Pier 6 playground, which features enclosed areas like Swing Valley, Slide Mountain, Sandbox Village and the very popular Water Lab. Warning - the Water Lab becomes a zoo in summer, especially on weekends.
