Hippo Playground

Hippo Playground at Riverside Park

Hippo Playground is a beloved Upper West Side playground area. The playground has a public restroom and park house, swings with safety surfacing, wooden play equipment and slides, green metal play equipment, a spray shower, picnic tables, benches, sand pit, and a drinking fountain.

The large hill on the east side of the playground is a popular sledding area for neighborhood children during the winter. Honey locusts (Gleditsia triacanthos) give shade and dappled light to the site.
