Flushing Playground With a Giant Slide and Courts

Mauro Playground is a Flushing playground in Queens, built around a towering jungle gym with a giant slide. The climbing setup goes beyond the standard layout, adding a net, a twisted ladder, and a slide pole. Basketball and handball courts and workout areas round out the active side of the park. A walking path winds through the clean grounds, passing benches, picnic tables, and water features. Dogs are allowed, and restrooms are on site. Visitors often describe the park as not too crowded, with a relaxed neighborhood feel. The park is open daily from 6 AM to 9 PM.
