1 / 3Ditmars Playground
đ Queens, NY
Queens neighborhood playground with separate areas for toddlers and bigger kids, plus a popular summer sprinkler. Best for local families who can check conditions first.
This is a wonderful playground. As a moon and nanny, I have taken many kids here. In the summer there is a sprinkler. There is a play area for small kids around 9 months old to 3. A bigger play area for kids 2-8. Two different swung areas for age appropriate groups. For adults there is a tennis area and basket ball court. At night the unhoused people use the flat benches to sleep. The police are good about making sure they are not there when it is time for the kids to play.
đ Family Action Verdict
This playground works well for families with toddlers to school-age kids, especially in summer when the sprinkler operates. However, significant maintenance issues, cleanliness problems, and safety concerns make it a risky choice. Best suited for local families who can assess conditions before visiting rather than destination visits.

âCute local playground that has everything you are looking for out of a city based open space. Plenty of equipment for little and big kids alike. Easy to walk to and you can see other local families there playing with their little ones.â
