★★★★★Featured review by Steven Osadchuk

A huge area of play and fun with other kids! Many memories come from that park near me. They are going to open a public bathroom in this playground this spring/summer! No more walking exhaustingly to the bathroom every time. 10/10 :)

🏆 Family Action Verdict

This expansive Brooklyn playground offers excellent variety with basketball courts, handball, and workout areas perfect for families with children of different ages. However, current renovations and chronic bathroom shortages make it challenging for visits with young children. Best suited for families who can manage bathroom breaks elsewhere.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Plan bathroom breaks before arriving - facilities are limited or closed
⏰Bring water as fountains may be out of service during renovations
đŸŽŸī¸Check renovation status before visiting as playground access may be restricted
🚗Avoid the soccer field due to poor turf condition that gets in shoes

“Huge area, including a gym area, basketball courts, a very large playground, handball court/tennis wall, benches, water fountains, and a soccer field in the center. Would give it a 5/5, but the soccer field is kept in terrible condition. Very old turf, always trash there, and the turf is so destroyed it gets into your shoes easily.”

“Great play ground area for the kids. Handball courts, basketball courts, track & grass field, workout area. Know before you go: there are no bathrooms which is the reason for the 4 star rating.”
