Murphy Brothers Playground

Murphy Brothers Playground is one of the neighborhood’s best spots for climbing, swinging, and running around. Fresh air meets fresh fun on these well-maintained grounds—ideal if you’re escaping the sidewalks. Concrete paths frame the space so parents can take steady laps while the little ones explore.

Find it tucked inside New York, NY 10009 on the southeast edge of the block. Swing by when the afternoon light hits the slides just right; park along the curb and you’re practically at the gate. Need help with directions? Call ahead—(212) 639-9675—and someone inside can point you to the nearest entrance.

Plot your route before you go: use the map link for real-time traffic and pinpointed parking. Bring water and sunscreen—there’s shade near the climbing wall if you need a quick cool-down.
