Wheel Fun Rentals at Flushing Meadows Corona Park sits on the northern edge of Meadow Lake in Queens, New York, operating in partnership with NYC Parks. The location rents bikes, specialty cycles, kayaks, pedal boats, and more, with pricing held steady since 2018.
New pedal boats seat 4 people with a shaded bimini top, priced at $30 per hour. Single kayaks are also available for exploring the lake. All boaters receive boating instructions and must wear Coast Guard-approved life vests before heading out. A self-guided bike tour of the park, including landmarks like the Unisphere and Queens Museum of Art, is included free with half-day and full-day bike rentals.
Boat rental hours run seasonally, generally 10am-sunset during peak summer months (mid-May through early September), with reduced hours in shoulder seasons and closure for winter (November through mid-March), weather permitting (50°F and above, dry conditions). The location also includes the Ederle Terrace Snack Bar for food and drinks, and runs group programs for schools, camps, corporate team-building, and birthday parties.
For visitors to Flushing Meadows Corona Park looking to rent a pedal boat or kayak on Meadow Lake, Wheel Fun Rentals offers a family-friendly, NYC Parks-partnered rental operation with consistent, budget-friendly pricing.
