A longtime favorite for New Yorkers since 1927, Playland is the only Art Deco amusement park in America. It includes picnic areas, beaches, ice skating rinks, swimming pools and fun rides. Playland's long Pier was made even more famous when the movie Big starring Tom Hanks was filmed there in the eighties.

This historical venue attracts great musical talent.
