My husband and I lived in Manhattan's Upper East Side until our daughter Tara started making it really over-crowded for all of us. So we shared the story of many other expanding families and we moved to the other side of the river. One of the things I loved most about my old tiny apartment was being just steps away from the Carl Schurz Park at 84th St and East End Avenue. The playground in the park quickly became our favorite place when Tara was nearing one although we were enjoying the park long before for walks and weekend picnics along the great views of East River . The playground features safe equipment that attracts toddlers and older kids, a very clean sandbox and water play area which is usually Tara's favorite during the summer. When she is finished playing at the playground, her other favorite thing to do in the park is watching the little dogs playing at the dog run. 
For us, we still don't mind the 15 minutes drive from our home to this park and try not to miss a day without it.
If you are ever in the neighborhood and have some time to kill, it will be time well spent.
