Central Park (Heckscher Playground)
Central Park has 21 playgrounds, but Heckscher is the one I steer toward for the south end: it's the largest, with spray showers in summer and natural rock outcrops kids love to scramble. It's close to the entrances, so you're not hiking a tired kid half a mile in.
The park's biggest playground, near the south entrances — spray showers, rocks to climb, easy in-and-out.
