1 / 2St. James Park Playground
đ The Bronx, NY
Renovated Bronx playground with water sprouts in the center, two swing sets at either end, and tree-lined shaded areas throughout. Free entry, popular on hot summer days.
The playground was completely revamped around 2008, and it's a wonderful and safe place to take your kids to. There are two sets of swings at either end, with water sprouts in the center of the playground, lined by trees that provide the much needed shade for those hot summer days.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with primary-school children who want a free, shaded outdoor play session on a hot day. The water sprouts are the main draw in summer; the swing sets and open space work year-round. Arrive early on peak summer days â reviewers note it draws some of the largest crowds of any NYC park.

âSpacious with a lot of space for children to play. Not too keen on the rock formations near and in the sprinkler area. A potential disaster for playing childrenâ

Overview
St. James Park Playground was fully renovated around 2008 and features water sprouts at its center, two separate swing sections at each end, and extensive tree cover providing shade across the site. The layout is spacious enough to handle crowds, which reviewers describe as some of the highest in NYC. Parents should supervise children near the rock formations adjacent to the sprinkler area.
