Wheel Fun Rentals upgrades Pedal Boats

Wheel Fun Rentals is excited to announce a brand-new, upgraded fleet of pedals boats at their North Meadow Lake bike and boat rental location within Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Wheel Fun Rentals’ new pedal boat offering gives boaters a stylish and fun new way to enjoy a day at the park just in time to kick-off summer and are now available for rent!

The entire fleet of boats has been upgraded to new commercial grade boats featuring a stainless-steel paddlewheel for a more efficient pedaling experience. The new pedal boats are also engineered for more comfort and safety with ergonomic upright seats and large pontoons for increased buoyancy making boarding and exiting from the dock much easier.

“With FUN as our middle name, we like to see people moving, pedaling, and enjoying the great outdoors,” Michael Ullerick, Wheel Fun Rentals’ director of operations, said. “Our new pedal boats are an exciting upgrade to our fleet at North Meadow Lake that will allow locals and visitors to enjoy being out on the water even more than before.”

Pedal boat rentals are $30 an hour and each boat can seat up to four people and one small lap child making them perfect for any sized family or group outing. The new boats now also come equipped with a Bimini top for sunshade helping guests beat the heat and enjoy a shaded pedal on the water on those hot New York summer days. Guests are also welcome to bring food and drinks aboard the boats in a small soft cooler or bag (No alcohol or large coolers allowed.) Plus, life jackets are included with every rental to ensure a safe, smooth ride.
