The atmosphere was great. The children all played together no matter what their race. And the parents all interacted together This was our Monday trip during my 6 week summer program.

One day last summer, we scouted out a new park and found Imagination Playground. We had such a great time with the kids here, that we had our cousins meet us at the same park the following summer. We came in from Long Island while they, from NJ. We took the NYC ferry to Wall St and walked a mere 2 blocks to the park. With sprinklers and sand for the kids, what more do you need to keep all happy. Every age can find some way to enjoy this cute park in the middle of the hustle & bustle of NYC. Yes, there are even bathrooms on the premises. Can’t wait to be back.

Fantastic during the summer, not only so I much when I cold weather sets in

My son LOVED the water park! Every parent was helping each other and friendly... Its the perfect place to take your child on a hot day!!

A must stop when in the area. If you happen to visit the Intrepid make sure to stop by. Great playground for little ones. If you come by during the summer bring a change of clothes and let the kids run in the water area. It has a bathroom that is generally in working condition.

Fantastic space to let children of varying ages play. My 15-month-old loved it. The blue, foam building pieces were a hit, as was the sand. They had a restroom, but we didnt use it.

I used to love this playground but now it’s just a regular playground with sand and water sprinklers. What happened to the blue giant foams where kids construct these abstract pieces and put together something from their imagination. This is no longer the imagination playground until the foams are brought back

Great place to carry your kids to play. Good place for play dates.

Good place for kids but there is no trees or good place to seat under shade. If it’s too hot outside,you will be cooked here:)

This is a very cool, very hip, very modern looking park located in downtown Manhattan in the neighborhood I would assume is called the financial district, which is right by Cortlandt street which is right close by to the 9-11 memorial and world trade centers and memeorials. Also located fairly close to the millennium Hilton chain of hotels over there by Dey St. It closes at 5pm and it open to the public, free of charge, untill that time which again is 5pm

Not much to do here. The imagination idea is let down by the fact that most of this park is a big open space. The stuff that is there is also very repetitive. Feels like some didactic thought experiment in how kids should want to play that ends up being quite dull. Try Domino park of you want to see an experiment that works..........

Really nice playground. Well kept. Closes early.

Nice place to let kids play by the ships.

Nice, small park with slides, large sand box and adorable sprinkler area. Right next to pier 17, where you can stroll afterwards.Has a restroom!

Pretty cool space for kids!! They def use their imagination :) The 3 1/2 yr old I brought enjoyed it very very much!

Creative playground with paid staff to make sure equipment says nice and put together

Overrated sand pit and water fountain area with a few benches. This may sound crude but thats all there is to this place. Its okay for 2 year Olds but folks like our 8 year old got bored quick. Not recommended for non locals.

Great park for little ones. It has a sprinkler side and a sand side.

Seems overhyped. Our kids grew bored of it in a few minutes.

Awesome place to take your kids.

I totally stretched my imagination

Amazing playground in the middle of the financial district. Had public toilets that were pretty clean which was a bonus when you have small children.

Well maintained and safe playgroung

Great concept, but small, and the staff wouldnt let the kids use their imagination and have fun. The staff member kept telling the children not to put the blocks in the water as people might slip, to move their buildings as it might block a walking path, and not to climb as there might be an accident. I understand the need for safety, but a park is for exploration, and if it needs warnings for all of the obvious fun things to do, its just poorly designed.

Awesome park with huge sand box.

Huge sand play area. Slides and a water feature. Very nice. And situated in the heart of the seaport next to the financial district. Also has a restroom inside playground which is great!

Great place for kids to play in sand. Beware the slide, its a bit fast for small kidos.

Clean and well-maintained.

I love because is a very clean and big

Awesome playground for kids

Very nice and creative place, it has diferent areas to play, sand, big blocks and water, plus an interactive staff that take care of the playground.The bad thing, is the the lack of shadow

This was highly rated in a couple of blogs but we were very underwhelmed

Good place to be creative, build, and exercise for kids. Nice atmosphere.

It was just ok. The pictures online look way better than in person. Splash pad was empty. ( no water)It looked like someone ate the original park, and this was the leftovers.

Great playground. My daughter loves the imagination blocks and water features. The only drawback is that there is very little shade for hot days.

Staffed every day with great people helping kids learn and play together. Great sand box and a ton of building blocks. Great for kids under 10.

Great for toddlers. Water and sand

Great Place for all

Great playground but dont walk on the fountain as every2kid wants to ot the liability park police will blow the whistle (really)

Sand, water, blocks, slides - so much fun for kids of a range of ages

Nice kids activity and playground.

Avoid this playground. The man who works there has harassed parents every time weve visited. He goes WAY beyond normal park rules, and Ive seen him yell at parents for simply touching the foam blocks while playing with their own children. Weve seen him yell rules left and right, blow his whistle needlessly. It gets to the point where you feel harassed and uncomfortable while youre simply trying to play with your child. All he does is walk around and yell at people. Weve been there 3 times and every time this employee has yelled at us or another parent. He should be fired.

A beautiful playground for both kids and parents. Our favourite playground in NYC.

The blue blocks make for great play with the other kids.

Nice spray park as well as areas to play where you dont have to get wet if you dont want to. Had a bathroom in the park too!

Love when they take out the blocks, well cared for and busy

Nice open playground that makes a good change of pace to other grounds in the city. Remember to bring your swim trunks and be prepared to shake off some sand.

Very nice place

Nice place

Great playground for little kids.

Wonderful playground encourages kids to play together

Kids loved it needs a little love

There’s only a few sprinklers and some slides, that’s it plus it’s very very small.

Good

Nice kids park with water features

Baby loved the sand box

Pretty depressing playground, compared to other places in the city.

Great playground for kids

Lacks shade, despite umbrellas; water feature clogs easily with sand; building blocks only available when staff show up, which is unpredictable.

Playground has staff. There are umbrellas for shade. Bathroom within playground. Water section, blocks, and sand.

My dad and mom go here when they get mad and fight, they have wars and i like battleship

Nice place, not 2 much 2 do

Water attractions are for age 4 and under

Not so much things to do and no shadow

Great!

Peaceful area

Great playground to enjoy with friends

Amazing
