Do any of the fields mentioned have areas with swing and slides and stuff for kids?
Flushing Meadow and Astoria park have swings and slides.... and best of all for the adults...PARKING. in comparison from what I remember of prospect park.
Keep in mind that convenience of a park close to you and accessible to others that travel are two different things and must be put into consideration.
For those that are driving, they need to be able to park without too much hassle as it is a turn off trying to find parking in certain areas.
Convenience of travel also should be factored in.
Now,
Flushing Meadow Park is within close distance from the LIE, GCP, VWE and Jackie Robinson Pkwy. 7 Train within walking distance from park entrances.
Astoria Park GCP, BQE. N Train within walking distance.
Prospect Park is close to Prospect Expy and driving distance to the BQE.
