Not Your Nanny's Review

Playground Papa's Review

This climbing-focused playground is just across the walking path from the more famous Pier 26 fish playground. Both were hot and crowded.

Despite the hype surrounding the opening of Pier 26's sculptural playground, our toddler wasn't impressed and saw himself out of the gate and headed straight for Pier 25. 

Although there was a small climbing structure in the middle of the park for toddlers, most of this playground was built for climbing including wall climbing and rope structures. 

It was very sunny and hot on the day we were earlier in the spring. The leaves on the trees hadn't sprouted yet, but even if they had, it probably would be quite sunny because of they were small. 

It didn't take long for our toddler to get bored here too, partly because of how crowded it was and partly because it wasn't really designed for toddlers.

About the Playground

The playground is part of a larger recreational complex built on Pier 25, the longest of the piers in Hudson River Park. It includes mini golf, volleyball, and a snack bar, plus historic ships.
