It was a fun event near the pier where there's a few dining options on a boat like tacos & tequila and also a lobster boat that circles around Manhattan. The event was well organized, and I am looking forward to visiting the area again soon. Ig:@Thefunfluencer

She said they eventually will have an ice skating rink between the buildings where she's employed. I believe she said 33rd and 9th Avenue. This whole area blends together in my eyes. My daughter has a friend already working in a High Rise above the Shopping Mall. I need to go back for the day. I'm sure I could spend several days in the area and never get close to seeing everything. You're close to the river, the High Line, Shopping, Arts, Entertainment, Expensive Residencies, Food, the NYC Parks and more. I'm posting some photos I took in the vicinity. If you're interested in visiting an up and coming neighborhood this is the place everyone is talking about.

Pretty nice playground nestled in the hustle and grime of Hells Kitchen…read more Large and spacious so it's surprising to see this in the area where extra space is hard to come by. There are actually two playgrounds here with various jungle gym equipment to play on. Rubberized ground to protect the kids. Plenty of benches to relax on. Even a basketball court. Water fountain too. No bathrooms though.

Right in yhf middle of Midtown West's concrete jungle is this small pocket park. There are very few…read moreopen spaces in Hell's Kitchen, but this is a surprise. I talked to a long time residents who told me they complained about this in the 60s so the civic authorities thought of possibly building parkland on a parking lot on Tenth Avenue between West 47th and 48th Street. On June 23, 1966, the Board of Estimate approved the acquisition for $400,000 to acquire the lot in September 1966. But the conversion was delayed the playground did not open until December 1979. The West 47th Street Block Association try and keep out any undesirables and make the park local community residents and those tourist type and office workers who want a nice spot to chill. The park was upgraded with 1.4 million dollar grant. Just proving green in NYC doesn't come cheap.

There is also a nice sized dog park area. In the outer layer of the park it's filled with greenery, plants and flowers.

I bring my buddy Yoda here often and when we have time to hang out at the dog park for small dogs, he is on cloud 9 entertaining everyone with his silliness. The owners who bring their dogs there seem to be responsible people and I've never witnessed a dog fight in the years we've been coming here, which is a testament to that. A lot of high schools use the field for sports activities and the children's park is small but neat with rocks to climb.

Soooo many bodies!…read more I'm guilty of visiting this playground only on weekends, but "crowded", here, takes a new meaning. Make sure to repeatedly warn your child of paying attention to kids running wild in all directions. Parents seem to be MIA... The playground is quite modern... there's even a half sphere kids can climb on (bare feet, or it won't work). Plenty of swings and climbable options. The place is divided into two areas for children of different ages... both very crowded (did I mention that?). There's a slide kids can use after climbing over big rocks... not the safest option when there are too many kids lining up (and pushing each other) to do it. With little else around to have your child move, this is the forced option. The silver lining is that you're in freaking Union Square, with all sorts of food (or booze... you may need some after a visit to this place) available to you.

This is my daughter's favorite playground in the city. We came back for a quick week holiday, our…read morefirst tri since moving to California, and every day we had to listen to a 6yo pleading to go to Evelyn's. The shiny dome climbing structure is amazing, as are the slides. It's always busy here, no matter the season or weather, but to me that just means the kids love it and are having fun. Definitely recommend for locals and visitors alike.

They are sparkly clean with a big reflection from the sun! It burned my eyes looking at them in the sun. One good thing about this park is the number of spider webs that you can climb onto besides the steps that you can go onto. This park also has clean sprinklers at the feet level and big sprinklers that come and go. Very clean and safe. Most important thing is the safety issue. I have a stroller with belongings and they were untouched the whole time I was in the park so that's a plus! Also this park is gated from the public and only families with toddlers and kids can go in. Very family oriented. Will definitely stop by more when I'm in this area.

The day I visited there were many Nannies with small children going in and out of the gate. It's a place I will not enter unless I'm with a friend that has small children. There's bucket and tire swings, an amphitheater spray feature, two granite slides set into a hill, a rustic net climber, and a sandbox and sand table. As I said I love this landscape with rustic structures and stone bridge. You need to visit and enjoy! By the way, no restroom!
