McDonald Playground
4.2 (198)park
This renovated Brooklyn park features shaded play areas, a new splash pad, and courts for tennis and basketball.
Description




The park divides its play spaces into separated zones for younger and older kids, though visitors note there are few big swings. For sports, the layout includes two handball courts that double as tennis practice walls, plus a blacktop space for scooting and soccer. The basketball court features four hoops that are often uncrowded. Because of the playground's location, visitors should expect significant noise from the nearby F train.
