1 / 3Ella Fitzgerald Playground
📍 Queens, NY
Fresh Meadows playground with swings for toddlers and older children, summer sprinkler features, a tennis court, and clean on-site bathrooms. Open space accommodates families spreading out across the grounds.
This is a better than average park in queens for little toddlers. Unfortunately it rained so much that there was about six inches of water on the basketball courts. But we weren’t here for that. Some sprinkler things for the summer. Swings for big and little kids. Fun place.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children from toddler age upward who want a reliable, well-maintained local playground with clean facilities. The sprinklers and multiple swing sets make summer visits especially worthwhile. Families who played here as children decades ago bring their own kids — a consistent multi-generational draw.

Overview
Ella Fitzgerald Playground in Fresh Meadows offers two A-frame swing sets covering both small and large kids, sprinkler features active during summer months, a tennis court, and plenty of open lawn. Bathrooms are on-site and consistently described as clean. The layout is open enough that multiple family groups can spread out without crowding. Heavy rain has caused surface water to pool on the basketball court area.
