★★★★★Featured review by Jenny Figueroa

This Park is right what the parents need to wash off all that unwanted sand from the beach w.o waiting on line for the showers n you can wash off ya carts too it has handball courts n baby swings n hopscotch. You can have a balloon fight or bbq in this Park

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Strongest for families combining beach time with active play — the courts and swings keep older kids busy as the baby swings suit toddlers. The beach shower access is a genuine convenience that sets this apart from inland playgrounds. NYC public bathrooms are what they are; come prepared.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Use the beach showers to rinse strollers and gear after sand play — no queue like the main showers
⏰Pack BBQ supplies — open grilling areas are available
đŸŽŸī¸Baby swings are on-site, so no need to seek a separate toddler playground
🚗Walk the boardwalk when kids need a change of pace

“I liked the basketball courts, swings, and restrooms, which were nearby. It gave off a vibe of a family environment that was well kept as it was located near apartment complexes and a hotel. On the other side was a boardwalk and beach, giving me breaths of fresh when I was tired of child-minding, I would simply walk. People were friendly, and I would recommend more of such places to live”
