West Thames Park Playground is the perfect hidden gem to add to your adventure exploring NYC!
West Thames Park Playground is the perfect location for a break from a day of touring the city. It is less than 2 blocks from the Battery Hudson River Park and gives a stunning view of the Freedom Tower. It is the perfect pair with an educational trip through the area, so your kids can run around to expend energy.
The playground itself is new, with innovative and creative structures that will grab the attention of any of your kiddos. It is the perfect playground for little kids, who will love the jungle gym and slides. There is even a splash pad in the summer for your kids to enjoy cooling off on a hot day. There is something in this park for the older kids too, with the awesome open field play space for soccer, frisbee and running around. It is easily accessible to the Hudson River Park if you are looking for a walking and stroller path, a fun place to ride bikes and scooters, or even have a nice family picnic while enjoying the outdoors and beautiful view.
You can catch ferries to Hoboken, the Statue of Liberty, the Rockaways, Governors Island and Brooklyn from this area, so it really is the prime location to stop by on your adventure. Ferry excursions themselves will have your kids excited about their amazing day, but all of these areas are wonderful as well and happyly has explored a lot of other attractions in these locations, so you should check out other blog posts of the area to help plan your day!!
