Rudin Family Playground is located in New York City's Central Park at West 96th Street and Central Park West.

Description edit

The playground is located near the north end of Central park. It includes a central water feature, a wisteria-covered trellis, a sandbox, tire swings, traditional swings, and game tables for playing chess and checkers.[1] There are also three play structures on the opposite side of the playground from the entrance; these incorporate ramps, slides, ladders, bars, and other play elements.

Rudin Family Playground was built in 1935 and 1936 as one of the park's perimeter playgrounds, then rebuilt in 1992.[2]

This playground is maintained by the Central Park Conservancy. The Conservancy plans to renovate it in the near future.[3]
