The playground at Madison Square Park is widely considered the best in the city. During the summer, it even features a 15-foot tall water sprinkler, the sort of thing usually only seen in private parks. The playground itself has large wooden climbing structures, although those can get a bit crowded during the summer. A swing set and tire swing seal the deal.
