★4.5(225 Google reviews)💰FreeđŸ‘ļAll ages

Large Astoria community playground with equipment for all ages, handball and basketball courts, a workout area, and plenty of open space. No restrooms on-site and parking in the surrounding streets can take over 30 minutes.

★★★★★Featured review by Osiani da Silva

Is very good place but no parking around ( 34 minutes to get one)

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids aged 2–10 who can walk or take the subway. The variety of activities across a large space keeps different ages engaged simultaneously. Families relying on a car should budget serious time for parking, and those needing restrooms should plan a stop elsewhere beforehand.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Take the subway or walk — street parking regularly takes 30-plus minutes to find
⏰No restrooms on-site, so plan bathroom stops before arriving
đŸŽŸī¸Playground equipment is best suited to younger children; older kids gravitate to the sports courts
🚗Arrives busy on weekends — weekday mornings are noticeably quieter

“The great thing about this playground is that it is big. Plenty of space for different activities, including handball and basketball court, a playground, a workout area, a nice section to just sit and chill, and a big patch of asphalt (for those of you who come to parks for more asphalt). Kid's playground is aimed at younger kids but there is a funky climbing structure that older kids may like. Despite its size it can get busy because it is kind of the only park in that general area of Astoria.”

Overview

Paul Raimonda Playground spans a generous footprint with climbing structures, swings, handball and basketball courts, and a dedicated adult workout area. It's the primary park serving the Astoria neighbourhood and draws consistent crowds. The play equipment skews toward younger kids. No bathroom facilities are on-site. Street parking in the dense surrounding blocks is genuinely difficult.
