This Queens Playground Has Six Handball Courts

Joseph Austin Playground on 84th Avenue gives a family afternoon several ways to unfold. The children can head for swings and slides, while older members of the group have sports spaces of their own. Its design makes room for kids, young adults, and adults, rather than centering the whole outing on the smallest players.

Start with the handball side, where the park has six active handball courts. Basketball and soccer fields broaden the choice for anyone bringing a ball. Tennis is part of the sports lineup too, giving racket players a reason to join the outing. Choose your activity before heading over, instead of carrying gear for every game.

A dedicated water playground adds another option for children. Entry is free, and this public park opens every day from 6 AM to 9 PM. An early start or an evening stop both fit within that window.
