Let me start of by saying that this park is not on my list. Neither is any other playground in the HRP. I'm working on finding out why, but until then I can only speculate--maybe they are separately owned/operated? Whatever the case, the playgrounds in HRP are new, "hight-tec", and full of fun. This particular park is huge. At the base of a mini-golf course and a field, and right next to a skate park, Pier 25 is in the middle of all the action. One of the best parts of the playground is the "what's this" quality. We don't know what it is, but let's figure out how to use it! Most of the equipment is hard plastic, metal, and rope strung together in the most climbable of ways. Oh, and did I mention the gigantically awesome rock climbing wall?? The playground is an odd shape so watch out for blindspots. Its biggest problem is the same problem that haunts most piers on the Hudson River: No shade. This playground is brutal in the summer sun.
