Murray Playground
4.4 (556)park
A calm Long Island City park featuring industrial design, summer sprinklers, and basketball courts refreshed by MoMA PS1.
Description




Beyond the courts, this neighborhood park caters to families with dedicated play areas for toddlers, baby swings, and climbing ropes. Pet owners have access to an enclosed dog run, and walkways are lined with plenty of benches for those seeking a quiet spot for lunch. While convenient for quick trips, parents of very young children note that waterfront parks nearby offer more expansive play setups. Practical amenities include drinking fountains, public restrooms, and city wi-fi, though visitors mention that the park could benefit from better nighttime lighting.
