Lenox Avenue Playground

Renovated in 1995 by the Central Park Conservancy, this playground consists of painted timber climbing structures, tire swings, and a water feature, primarily suited to school-age children. Located near The Charles A. Dana Discovery Center, children can borrow bamboo poles and try their hand at catch-and-release fishing at the Harlem Meer.

Note: There are no trash receptacles inside the playgrounds. Please deposit all trash in receptacles outside playgrounds and help us keep play areas free of rodents.

Playground Partners
Initiated in 1991 by the Women's Committee of the Central Park Conservancy, Playground Partners is a group of volunteers who ensure that Central Park's 21 playgrounds are kept safe and well maintained. If you are interested in joining this group, click on Playground Partners.
