J.J. Byrne Playground is a play area within Washington Park.
The playground, located at 5th Avenue and 3rd Street, is a busy and active neighborhood gem, always filled with kids. Unlike some other playgrounds, this one attracts older children with to its challenging climbing structures. You'll find playground staples like swings, tunnels, jungle gyms, bridges, and slides, as well as a gated toddler area on the 3rd Street side.
In summer, the Parks Department turns on the many water features, so be sure to come prepared with a bathing suit and towel. In addition to the playground, the larger park is host to a skatepark, basketball courts, a popular dog run, a multi-use synthetic turf field. In the middle of the park, you'll find the beautiful Old Stone House (circa 1699) which is now an interpretive and educational center dedicated to Brooklyn history (and also host to bathrooms).
