Jurassic Playground

If you’ve got kids in the 5-12 range and haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out. The dinosaur theme is done right — not just a painted sign, but actual sculptures that give the whole place a real personality. On a hot day, the water feature is where everyone ends up, and the BBQ area plus picnic tables make it easy to turn this into a full afternoon rather than just a quick stop. The open grass field gives older kids room to run while the little ones are on the swings or climbing structure. That pond right next to it, with the ducks and turtles doing their thing, honestly makes it one of the better spots in Forest Hills for a proper family outing.
