Safari Playground

Renovated in 1997 by the Central Park Conservancy, this jungle theme playground features 13 hippopotamuses, a canoe float in a "pool", treehouses, picnic tables, and a tot-sized jogging path mirroring the nearby Reservoir running track. The equipment is primarily for toddlers.

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.
