Samuel N. Benneron Playground

Located just steps from Lincoln Center and within the Amsterdam Houses public housing development. The playground is designed to be inclusive, offering fully accessible play equipment for children of all ages and abilities, along with two basketball courts—including one full-sized court—that serve as a central gathering spot for neighborhood pickup games and local basketball culture. The park also features adult fitness equipment and is a place where residents and visitors of all backgrounds come together to play, exercise, and connect. Named in honor of Samuel N. Bennerson II, a respected local leader from the Amsterdam-Phipps community, the playground stands to the enduring legacy of shared public spaces in New York City. Located at 200 W. 64th St. (between Amsterdam and West End). nycgovparks.org
