DeSalvio Playground, Neighborhood park in NoLita, Manhattan, US.

The playground features red, white, and green modular play equipment, stone chess tables, and a basketball half-court at Spring Street and Mulberry Street.

John DeSalvio, a first-generation American and Tammany Hall member, served as district leader before the city acquired this property in 1954.

The play equipment colors represent the Italian flag, reflecting the strong Italian-American influence in the neighborhood and political landscape.

The playground maintains multiple recreational areas for different age groups, including chess tables and sports facilities accessible throughout the year.

This Manhattan park hosted the Citywide Bocce Ball Championships in both 1996 and 1997, connecting with the area's Italian heritage.
