Super cute park, nice place to eat and enjoy nature with a playground on one end for kids; only problem was there were a lot of mosquitos but I would still come back for the good vibes

Great park that was just reopened and redone. It’s right next to the library and there are shaded tables to read and a stadium style seating area. The playground has interesting more acrobatic type of features which is engaging for kids. It’s gated which is nice since Washington can be busy.

WHAT AN #ADORBS PLAYGROUND! Newly re-opened this July, the pocket park next to Washington Irving library has been given a much needed facelift. There’s climbing, slides, attractive landscaping and even shaded seating where you can read a book while the kiddos play. It’s dawn to dusk and fenced for safety.
