Baisley Park South Playground is a NYC Parks play area inside Baisley Pond Park, with climbing structures and play equipment scaled for kids. Ground-level activities and transfer platforms make much of the play area reachable for children with mobility needs. A spray shower makes it a go-to summer stop when children need to splash and cool down.
