What to know before going
This is not a basic Central Park playground. The Central Park Conservancy describes it as a western-themed playground rebuilt in 2015, with new wood play features and a water feature.
The themed design is the point. Families choosing Tarr-Coyne are usually looking for something more memorable than a basic neighborhood playground, but still easier to reach than the deeper interior of the park.
Central Park has many playgrounds close to the edge of the park. That helps if one is crowded or if kids want a different age fit. The Conservancy map lists Tarr-Coyne Wild West for pre-school and school-age children.
