Summer is officially here and one of the best resources New Yorker’s have to stay cool is access to water features at local playgrounds. We have curated a list of some of our favorite downtown playgrounds and parks with water, to ensure kids of all ages stay cool this summer. Check out some of our favorite splash pads in Lower Manhattan.
FiDi Families Insiders: Always travel with a bathing suit, you never know when you’ll discover a secret hideaway with a sprinkler or fountain!
Rockefeller Playground
Imagination Playground
Designed by famous architect David Rockwell, Imagination Playground is filled with oversize foam blue blocks that allows them to build and create whatever they can come with. With a large sand pit and enclosed tunnel slide, the playground also offers a great sized water play area and a deck lined with umbrellas to provide some much needed shade!
Summer may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end. Keep the kids up late (or put them to bed with a sitter and enjoy a parents night out) and join FiDi Families for a drive-in experience, at the park. Bring your blankets and picnic basket and enjoy a night under the stars. [Read more…]
