Stuytown Playground

Playground upgrades have included incorporating modern equipment into challenging built environments with added regulations of NYC construction codes and the historic infrastructure at the Property. When some of the parks exist on what everyone thinks of as grade but technically is the roof of a garage, drainage and structural loading comes into play. Other parks have  unique challenges with water features and simply volume and children’s activity in a residential setting. Accommodations are made for accessibility as well as for adult comfort being able to sit and supervise from the perimeter. Extensive consultant teams are managed and leveraged by us to navigate and support the complex requirements. 

  • Operational and Management work included management offices reworked and revisioned to accommodate the ever-changing needs of the property and its ownership’s holdings and needs. Infrastructure work has included solar and technical efficiency upgrades and review, subterranean power and heat cogeneration facilities and areas for equipment and staff.

This expansive outdoor park features multicolored flooring that provides colorful shapes and drainage systems for the multiple water features that are scattered among the area.
Three abstract water features are surrounded by playing children while a large and multilayered playground is featured in the background underneath the shadows of a Stuytown Apartment building.
This floating blue oval acts as a climbing structure for children at the Stuytown Playground and features a metal net and various hanging climbing ropes.
A close up of the metal blue climbing net hanging from a floating circular structure shows two children attempting to summit the infrastructure.
Six playground swings hang from a black metal structure over a large green gated area.
In the forefront of this view of the Stuytown Playground there are two small pods for children to sit-and-spin in, and behind you can see two water features and a metal climbing structure.
