Summer
Sports – Sweat It Out
The
opportunities for outdoor recreation in Queens
are extensive. Below you'll find nearby facilities
for swinging a club, rowing a boat, shooting an
arrow and much, much more.
Stickball and water balloon fights still have
their place. But this summer, why not take a chance
and expand your horizons? Just remember to stretch
beforehand.
