Handball Courts in Queens Open Evenings and Weekends
Handball and playground time in Queens, shared with PS 133 and open to the public on evenings and weekends.
🏐 A Shared Schoolyard for Handball
Bellerose Playground at 248-05 85th Ave pairs handball courts in Queens with play areas for kids, all on a schoolyard shared with PS 133. Public access falls on evenings and weekends, the window to plan a game around.
Bring a ball for the courts or give the kids time in the play areas. Entry is free, public restrooms are on site, and posted hours run 6 AM to 9 PM daily alongside the daytime school use.
The playground opened in 1950 under a jointly operated agreement between the Board of Education and NYC Parks. That framework dates to 1938, when the city set out to build recreational spaces on land beside schools, and it still shapes the schedule today. An evening handball session or a weekend stretch of outdoor play fits the arrangement neatly. It holds a 4.4 rating across 82 reviews.
