What we cannot tell you

No source in our data records whether it is fenced, whether there is shade, the play surface, wheelchair access, restrooms, drinking water, among other details.

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
Inside Governors Island, 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.
