About the Venue

Playground For All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park is one of the most significant inclusive playgrounds in the city and is cited by NYC Parks as the first playground of its kind in the United States. Official facility details confirm ramps, transfer systems, ground-level play, water-based play, accessible swings for both under-5s and ages 5 to 12, and sensory-friendly design with auditory, tactile, and visual play elements. It also includes accessible game tables and accessible drinking fountains, which adds practical value for longer visits. This is a strong destination choice for families who want true inclusive design rather than a standard playground with a few accessible upgrades.
