The Pit

One of the last truly-multipurpose park spaces in New York City, the Pit is an empty asphalt space where morning tai chi sessions are held and bike polo is played. If it's unoccupied, it's a good place to take a bat or a soccer ball out or just run around for a bit. Image from this Bowery Boogie article.
