Beach 41st street campus is located on a narrow peninsula between Norton Basin in Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

The campus consists of five (5) buildings constructed in 1973, six (6) playgrounds and one basketball court.
Individual playgrounds will be designed with developmental milestones of children in mind to complement the various developmental stages of youth addressing infants, toddlers, early childhood, children and pre-teens.
Damaged play equipment and safety surface will be replaced. Playgrounds 1-6 will be rebuilt with adequate play features and surfacing to address the various developmental needs of children. Unused site areas will be developed to address the need for a designated BBQ space and adult fitness area.
