PLAYGROUND FOR ALL CHILDREN 11101 Corona Ave., Corona

in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park (near 111th  BUILT IN 1984 Street and Corona Avenue), the Playground for All Children is a “prototype for playgrounds that serve children of all abilities,” says Heather Lubov, executive director of the City Parks Foundation. The paths leading to the play equipment are blind-friendly and have handrails that can be grasped by children who use crutches, canes, or wheelchairs. And the features are delightfully varied, including full-body swings, a 12-foot-long suspension bridge, and a sprinkler (plus basketball courts with adjustable hoops and, next door, ball fields with golf programming run by the CPF since the area doesn’t have a course of its own).
