1 / 3Lawrence Playground
📍 Queens, NY
Enclosed, gated playground in Flushing Meadows Park featuring quality jungle gym equipment, slides, and relocated basketball courts for children of all ages. Free entry with nearby parking.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A solid all-ages playground for families who want enclosed, gated equipment in Queens. The jungle gym quality is genuinely good. Access through Flushing Meadows Park adds a buffer from street traffic. Bring your own water - fountains are unreliable.

“I normally wouldn’t give 4 stars for a park right next to a highway AND that has a water fountain not working. Those two things are each deserving of a 1 star reduction. But in this case I reconsidered because it is a really great jungle gym and a much better use of space next to a highway than much of anything else. I didn’t like seeing a motorcycle delivery driver riding thru on the bike lane but that’s not really the park’s fault. NYC Parks, turn on the water fountains!”
