Little Island
Little Island is my low-effort win: it's small and enclosed, so a toddler can't wander far, it's free, and the rolling paths and interactive chimes and instruments keep them busy. There's a free audio tour and an amphitheater with kids' programming. Easy to fold into a High Line walk.
A small free park on the Hudson — contained, stroller-friendly, with hills, music chimes, and river views.
