Three Playground Map
Handball Within a School Partnership
Bellerose Playground shares its Queens grounds with PS 133 under a jointly operated agreement. The site is an operational public park and playground within that arrangement. School use shapes weekday daytime access, while public entry is supported during evenings and weekends. Play areas provide room for recreation, and public restrooms are available. The grounds offer free entry for public visits. Registered operating hours run from 6 AM to 9 PM daily, though those hours do not establish unrestricted public access during the school day.

Yardarm and Game Table Details
