The Highbridge Play Center located on Amsterdam Avenue between West 172nd and West 174th Streets in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, in Highbridge Park, was built in 1934-36 in the Art Moderne style. The supervising architect was Aymar Embury II, and the landscape architect was Gilmore D. Clarke, among others. It was built on the site of the reservoir which had formerly served the High Bridge Water Tower, and features a very large swimming pool.
