CHELSEA WATERSIDE PLAY AREA

Hudson River Park’s beloved Chelsea Waterside Play Area at West 23rd

Street and 11th Avenue has been a prime destination since 2000, serving as a treasured backyard play spacefor children from neighborhood schools, nearby residential buildings and New York City Housing Authority residences in Chelsea.

After years of rigorous wear and tear, this crucial community asset has fallen into an unfortunate state of disrepair and will only continue to deteriorate.
