Phase one for Battery Park Playground completed
Phase 1 of the Battery Park Playground is done! We invite our neighbors and visitors, young and young at heart to come try the new playground equipment, meet new friends and neighbors and have fun! Click here to tell us…What’s your favorite part of the playground? What can we do better?
Phase two begins…
Phase 1 of the Battery Park Playground is complete! Our vision for Phase 2 is to create a flagship, destination playground intentionally designed to meet the needs of all children, regardless of physical ability. We are now coordinating a capital project to raise money to build a ship-themed structure of accessible ramps, bridges, and slides grounded in a safe rubberized surface.
We’re about 1/2 way to our $1.2 M funding goal!
