1 / 217th St Playground
📍 Union City, NY
Renovated Union City playground for children aged 2–8 built around a fighter jet structure with two slides, monkey bars, a tunnel, and a seasonal sprinkler splash pad. Separate dedicated toddler section included.
Newly renovated playground, great for smaller children. The larger section of the playground was built to resemble a fighter jet. Very cute design and everything is currently very clean and well maintained. The other section of the playground is designed predominantly for toddlers. The third portion is a good sized splash pad (not open for the season yet) but looks like it will be a great spot to stop on a hot day. The guards are courteous and firm on the rules of no teenage/older children on the playground and no food consumed on the grounds. There is also a handicapped ramp and lots of seating at various benches and tables.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with toddlers and younger children aged 2–8 wanting a clean, safe outdoor play space in summer. The jet-themed structure is a genuine draw and the splash pad is the highlight on hot days. Rules are strictly enforced by on-site guards — no food, no water guns, and age limits on equipment apply consistently.
