Down in Dumbo you can get the best scenic views of Manhattan and the bridges. There is a beautiful playground that is wheelchair accessible and huge with many slides, lots of climbing, hideouts and benches, great for lots of kids. My children like the sandbox, tire swing and sprinkler. I like that it's shady with lots of place for parents to sit while children are playing and there are only 2 places to enter that both have gates that people leave closed- no need to worry about your kids running out. It's clean and well maintained, on street parking without meters is not hard to find and the grass areas and scenery is beautiful! There is a rocky beach, picnic areas and tons of grassy areas to run around. If you walk around you can see the cobblestone streets with trolley tracks, a farmers market and the fulton ferry for free ferry rides. Definitely a great place to take children! During the summer there are also free movie viewings at night.
