Van Alst Playground

Open

Astoria

"very big under the shade so even in a summer time you can be all day out"
"the sets are unique from other playgrounds in the area"
No restrooms on-site, plan ahead

A rare find in the city: a playground where you can actually stay all day without melting. Van Alst keeps things cool with extensive shade cover, brand new equipment for all ages, and a splash pad for summer relief.
