Sol Bloom Playground

Located adjacent to a NYCHA complex and P.S. 84 Lillian Weber School. Known for its distinctive sunflower-themed spray shower inspired by Sol Bloom’s name—which evokes the sun and flowers—the playground offers a welcoming environment for children of all ages, featuring ground-level play equipment and a multi-use court for basketball and running.

Recent renovation plans highlight a commitment to accessibility, sustainability, and community input, with upgrades set to include new seating, swings, game tables, picnic areas, improved water features, and enhanced shade from additional trees. The project also aims to introduce rain gardens and recycled materials, reinforcing the playground’s role as a vibrant, inclusive, and eco-friendly hub for Upper West Side families. Located at 91st St. between West End and Columbus Ave. nycgovparks.org
