Things to Do in the Financial District

Lower Manhattan’s Imagination Playground in FiDi

July 1, 2013 by Denise Courter Leave a Comment

The Imagination Playground on John and South Street at Burling Slip has turned the water on for the summer and the water feature is a hit with kids. Pack the sun screen and water shoes as well as a shovel and pail and enjoy this imaginative playground, designed by architect David Rockwell. The Imagination Playground is an interactive,  transformable space that prompts children to manipulate their  environment and create a play space of their own with sand, water and  loose parts. With giant foam blocks, mats, wagons, fabric, and crates at  their fingertips, children have the potential to build and explore  endless possibilities.

Hours: 9a – 6p (daily)

Location: Burling Slip (John Street, between Water and South Streets)

FiDi Families Insiders: Staff is on site to faciliate play. Restrooms on site.

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
