A newer playground away from the broadwalk of Coney Island, this neighborhood playground has a lot of space but isn't especially well thought out. 

The equipment was relatively new and in good condition, but there wasn't much design to the way it was organized. The different pieces of climbing equipment felt as though they were arranged without regard to how children might actually play here. 

There was plenty of space to run around, but overall it quickly became repetitive. 

This playground was hot. There was no shade to hide at all, and even on a cool spring day we found the heat intense since it wasn't on the water and there was no sea breeze here. 

It seems like the perfect example of the city providing the barest minimum of effort to lower income neighborhoods. Yes, there was some financial investment in this park, but not any actual effort. Its shiny, but the old rusty playground on the beach is a lot more fun.

The playground equipment was last updated in 2017 and other parts of the park upgraded in 2021. The original playground opened in 1963.
