What we cannot tell you

No source in our data records whether it is fenced, whether there is shade, restrooms, the age range the equipment suits, which equipment is installed, opening hours.

A missing detail means nobody has mapped it yet — not that the playground lacks it. If you know the answer, adding it to OpenStreetMap fixes it for every map at once, or you can send us a correction.

Is this playground open to the public?

The evidence in our sources:

Mapped with access=yes, meaning open to the public
Operated by New York City Department of Parks and Recreation
Inside Central Park, mapped as a public park

Evidence is not a guarantee. Park hours, seasonal closures, building work and local rules can all apply, and a playground inside a public park can still be closed on the day you arrive.
