Vincent F. Albano Jr. Playground is a 0.35-acre (0.14 ha) public park in the Kips Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Located at the northwest corner of Second Avenue and East 29th Street, the property was originally acquired by the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority in 1965 as right-of-way to construct the proposed Mid-Manhattan Expressway. The land was leased to the city for use as an interim park, which opened in 1967. Although the proposed highway project was officially cancelled in 1971, the land used by the playground is still owned by MTA Bridges and Tunnels.
