spray showers

The renovations include new playground equipment and spray showers that kids can activate themselves.

The city will renovate De Matti Playground and Arrochar Playground.

The spray shower in Gantry Plaza State Park has yet to open this summer.

It will replace Astoria Pool's sprinklers with a new spray shower that will be part of the playground.

The $1.7 million overhaul of Paul Raimonda Playground started in August of 2015.

The project is expected to continue for about a year. 

Upgrades to the Paul Raimonda Playground will include a spray shower shaped like a Steinway piano.

The change is planned as part of a $3 million overhaul of the Astoria Heights Playground.  

The memorial is part of a larger $2 million renovation project for the Thomas P. Noonan Jr. Playground.

Upgrades are planned for Paul Raimonda Playground, including a new spray shower shaped like a piano.

The spray showers were on for the first time this year on Monday, but shuttered again on Tuesday.

Forget pools and beaches: parents can take their little ones to sprinklers throughout northern Manhattan.

Parks in Gramercy, Flatiron, Kips Bay and Union Square have started their sprinklers for the season.

Astoria, Long Island City, Woodside and Sunnyside offer plenty of parks where the kids can cool down.

There are 21 parks in Staten Island that have spray showers for kids over the summer.
