Vesuvio Playground

This is a terrific neighborhood playground. As a parent I take notice of how parks are situated, how many entrances and exits they have and can I see the entire park from one spot. This park hits most of my marks.
There are plenty of swings for both babies and kids. This park has a lot of equipment for kids to run and play on. The play area is clean and well maintained. The sprinklers are a bit sparse compared to other parks.
There is also a 3 foot pool which is very clean and great for the little ones.

Visiting the city and this was a great little. Stop to burn some toddler enegy. The jungle gym was not toi big for my one years old and.

Great playgrounds and plenty of benches to sit. Summer time with kids this is a great park awesome. Though as an adult.

Great park for toddlers. Climbing structures, swings and a water feature for the kids to play in during the summer.

Nice enough spot to enjoy your lunch when kids aren’t there, since there aren’t too many such options in the immediate vicinity.

Visiting the city and this was a great little stop to burn some toddler energy. The jungle gym was not too big for my one year old and three year old and they loved being able to independently explore. We were there in November so no pool or fountains on (although they look awesome) but it also wasn’t too crowded which was nice.

Great playground and plenty of benches to sit while waiting for the cronut from Dominique Ansel Bakery 5 in the morning. I haven’t actually been in it but it looks like fun if you have kids to play in the playground or if you have a dog you can play throw with. It looks also clean from the outside. I saw people do the free playground gym workouts in there. Hardcore! I don’t think you’ll find used needles in there.

Good place to wait for cronuts.
Kids playing?
Didn’t see much of that or any of that scenario at all.
It is a great place to do 3 things —
1) Tennis — you can use the large self standing cement wall as your opponent.
2) Handball — same wall, different kind of ball.
3) Sleep — there are benches on the outskirts of the park.
Most likely if you are doing #3 then either you have just ingested 2 cronuts and a few other baking delights OR you have just made a new friend via on the benches.
Or you can do #1-#3 and then PEOPLE WATCH the cronut line getting impatient.
Always amusing when you’re NOT on the line waiting for one.

Fantastic park for the kids to play while Mom and Dad share coffee and pastries or sandwiches from the neighborhood places. Very close to th C stop on spring street. Lots of swings, water fountain for kids to play in and of course the pool. Not to mention the great elevated play structure. One of my favorite places to take the kids when we visit NYC!

I was at this park for a 6 yr old B-​Day party… And my 4yr old had a blast.
Between the 3ft. Pool; that’s perfect for toddlers, the water spurts; that kids can activate by touching a pole and the cool blue foam blocks that were put out for the kids to play, this Park is GREAT for the youngsters. They also have a big swing set area as well as the a jungle gym. And on the other side they have basketball and handball courts.

Damn, I wish I was a kid sometimes! Ran into this place randomly after strolling around SoHo on a Sunday afternoon. Turns out that this is a free public pool and playground for kids and family. The pool is not big, but for kids, it’s big enough for them to enjoy and cool off during a hot summer day in NYC.
Hours of Operation:
Session One: 11:00 am-3:00 pm
Session Two: 4:00 pm– 7:00pm
**Lifeguard must be on duty to use the pool**
**Sorry but No adults except in the company of a child** (Err!!!)
and Adults MUST wear Swim suit**

Summer time with kids – this is a great park. A free pool and free food courtesy of Parks and Rec? Awesome. Though as an adult, you need a bathing suit to go into the pool area. A life guard is on duty as well. Also, no floaties are allowed. Besides that, they have an area of water spurts that the kids can run through and a big open area for games/​scooters. The jungle gym and swing set area are safe due to the rubber ground. This park is a great place to come with your children on a hot day; though it may not be the cleanest… it’s the best kids park in Soho.
