    Turtle Park - Lovely playground

    This playground is one of my favorite in the area. It seems to be on the newer side, as the…read moreequipment is in great shape. There's an area for younger kids, and an area for older kids; and both sections have robust options. (That's not always the case!) There's also ample shade here. I cannot stress how delightful that is, especially in the summer. There's an area of musical instruments, which I've seen at a handful of other playgrounds, but, again, it's in pretty great shape here. The sand area is relatively clean. At least for now! It's also close to downtown in case you have any errands you need to do on your way.

    This is a very nice playground. It's an interactive space with plenty of different areas to explore…read morefor children that may have different interests. There are musical instruments, swings and multiple structures to climbs, as well as a small sand park area. Many of the structurs have ages printed on them. I would suggest that parents definitely watch smaller kids on some of the structures so they don't hurt themselves. There's a structure with rolling pieces and I would definitely see a kid falling and hurting themselves or getting a finger pinched while moving across. The swingset has swings for different stages and abilities which I love. People form the community gave back to build this wonderful park and it's a great addition to the neighborhood. Be careful walking across the street. The multiple stop signs make drivers impatient and they speed up almost as if to scare you out of the way, despite rushing to another stop sign.

    Pre-booked my tickets online directly on their website and paid $20 for unlimited rides per person…read more(weekday was $15). Children under 36" are free and can get on rides with a full paying adult. Came here just before 11am and the place was half full. We were able to get on rides pretty much straight away. There are 11 rides in total, not all available to children under 36 inches. There are also games kids can play for $5 per go. We kept going from one ride to another. The rollercoaster takes picture as you on the ride and charges $6 for one picture or $10 for two. I bought two and realised upon paying there was a QR (digital download) option for $3 per picture. I asked the lady about it and she said "sometimes it does not work so we don't advertise it". Bought lunch in the venue as well. Chicken tenders and fries were $12.50. Also bought ice cream for $6. Not the cheapest but pretty convenient. There were also magic shows being run every couple of hours. The magician was pretty funny for the kids but after a couple of goes with the same content.. Apart from paying extra for the pictures, I had a great time and will come back again. It's a relatively cheap day out if you go on many rides. It is also a good alternative for the last two weeks of summer breaks when most camps are done for the season.

    Great spot in Central Park to spend the day with your kids and family, but very expensive. It's $27…read morefor all unlimited rides for an adult, plus the same fee for a child. If you do not want to buy the unlimited bracelet, they will charge you a separate fee for entrance and there's additional fees for each rides. The bracelet turns out to be a better deal, at least to me. The rides are for kids, but adults can have a great time riding them too however, the rides are tight with not much leg rooms. My niece had a great time and the weather was perfect for it.

    Zimmerman Playground, it's a block east of Bronx Park. The Street is between Barker and Olinville…read moreAvenues. This playground is a nice park with swings and sprinklers. The playground it's always clean and has bathrooms. The park has Basketball courts, tables , chess and even hand bars. The park is also good for babies as there are baby swings. This park is not the best park for large dogs since there are a lot of kids running around. I would say if you keep walking down to Bronx park east there is another field with lots of space to walk around for larger dogs or even small dogs. There is a baseball field but it's a wide large park.

    the wonderful times and memories of zimmermans playground for me , siblings , friends ,warrants 5…read morestars as it was ours playground growing up in the bronx on olinville ave . many old timers called it the concrete square as it was square shaped with different sections with the basketball courts , swing set area , the slides , checker tables and the many benches to sit and shoot the breeze with friends and neighbors . the playground is named after abe zimmerman who owned the corner candy store on olinville and allerton ave , he was a holocaust survivor and would educate us kids about the permanent numbers across his arm . after school and on the weekends the playground was our hangout regardless of the weather . i was not much of a basketball player but the swings was my thrill and i would go fairly high swinging back and forth until i needed a rest . back in the day there was no curfew and playground was open 24/7 and the playground was well maintained and kept clean and safe . as the mid 80s came and the crack horror era arrived the playground was not a place for kids and even though i moved away i would still visit my old hood and was shocked what a dangerous mess the playground turned into . as time passed the crack and crack heads were gone and the playground went thru a major makeover for the better and now the kids and families are back just like the good old days . i will always cherish the memories of zimmermans playground and i am not the only one .
