Central Park Conservancy


Kids to Do

From 21 unique PLAYGROUNDS to visit and almost all the outdoor SPORTS you can
imagine, to youth EDUCATION & SERVICE opportunities, and a multitude of free
multicultural and environmental FAMILY PROGRAMS, there is something exciting for
families with children of every age and inclination to do. Even when it is too cold to play
outside, you can drop into the CHESS & CHECKERS HOUSE to play a board game,
enjoy fun arts and crafts at the CHARLES A. DANA DISCOVERY CENTER, and
help your little prince/princess climb BELVEDERE CASTLE'S spire for the highest aerial
view of Central Park (and some fun make-believing to boot!).
