Hester St. Playground

A compact but creative playground with unique rope platforms and climbing structures that encourage adventurous play for ages 4-12. Its urban setting near Chinatown offers a local feel, and it’s less crowded than Central Park spots. Kids love the dangling rope nets, while parents appreciate nearby benches. Free, with restrooms at Seward Park nearby. Great before or after visiting the Lower East Side Tenement Museum for a history lesson
