Beach 30th Street Playground

Loved it..didn't know that it existed

Gorgeous. Clean sand, responsible lifeguards, awesome waves that are perfect for older kids. However if you're looking for very large and wild waves, I would recommend the beaches further down, like the beach 50s. The beach was a little crowded, but you can find a place.

Fun playground with large splash pad. Unfortunately, the water play area is starting to get really run down and in need of some repairs. It gets very flooded in the sand pit and can be dangerous for little kids. There is seating with shade all around and just a few steps from the beach. Restroom is also just across the street by the field area.

Is great for kids..just wish the bathroom would be more cleaner and open a little longer bathrooms be closing at 6pm.

Sometimes some people here curse loudly, illegally smoke and bring pets to playground area. Very nice playground and sprinkler area. Sprinklers automatically go on when temperature is above 80 degrees. This park is adjacent to the boardwalk and free beach.

If you have small kids, don’t even think of going to other beaches at Far Rockaway but here. I’ve been taking my kids here every summer since 2018 and I’ve always found a parking spot for free right next to the playground. We ONLY go on weekday mornings though. A nice kids playground with fun sprinklers, a sand area for sensory experience although I bet the slides are too hot to use during the summer. My kid doesn’t even bother to play on the slide since she goes straight for the sprinklers. The parking spot is right next to the playground and the restrooms, and a very short walk to the boardwalk. Make sure to bring snacks and drinks with you since there are no nearby stores along the Boardwalk. Not a lot of shady people around here from my experience, mostly families.

This my kids favorite local water park and playground. You can have a cookout, go to the beach, the kids can play in the sprinklers and enjoy the playground all at once.
