You Gotta Have Park Queens Greenspots & Playgrounds


A standing tribute to a World’s Fair gone by.
For Queens, it’s easy being green.
The borough has 7,106 acres of parkland – more than any other spot in New York City –including parks, playgrounds, traffic triangles, public gardens, and Greenstreet spots.

All year round, the parks are filled with Queens residents of all races and cultures participating in a host of activities, from cricket to Frisbee. Queensites are constantly flying kites, playing sports and riding bikes in the borough’s parks, which often play host to festivals, fairs and performances.

Queens’ largest park – Flushing Meadows-Corona Park – also plays host to the New York Mets, the U.S. Open at the USTA Tennis Center, the New York Hall of Science, Queens Theater in the Park, the Queens Museum of Art and several remnants of two World’s Fairs, including the Unisphere, which has become a symbol of the borough.

Alley Pond Park: Alley Pond Park’s 655 acres provides the grounds for nature trails (1.5 miles), educational centers, and wildlife in northeastern Queens. The park also features Douglaston Estate Windmill and the neighboring CUNY Queensborough Community College.

Astoria Park: Astoria Park’s Olympic-size swimming pool hosted Olympic trials in the 1960s. The park’s 833 acres provide solace and entertainment for Queensites – including the annual July 4 fireworks and Queens Symphony Orchestra Concert, part of an annual summer-long concert series.

Baisley Park and Pond: The use for over 100 acres that now make up Baisley Park dates back to when the Jameco Indians crossed over the land to Rockaway. Although the pond switched owners over the years, people always skated, fished and swam in its water. Finally in the 1930s the pond became a public park.

Cunningham Park: Major attractions on this parks 350 acres include tennis courts, nature trails (2 miles), soccer fields, bicycling, bocce, tennis and barbecuing. There are also summer concerts held in the park every summer. For the Cunningham Park Tennis Center call 740-6800.

Flushing Meadows-Corona Park: 1255 acres makes this park, originally a dump, the second largest park in New York City. The park was created for the World’s Fair in 1939-40 and again in 1964-65. Along with the Mets and the U.S.Open, the park offers the World’s Fair Marina, an indoor ice skating rink, Unisphere, Queens Wildlife Center, Queens Theater in the Park, Queens Museum of Art, New York Hall of Science, model airplane field, model boat pond, a botanical garden, pitch and putt golf course, petting zoos, boat and bike rentals, carousel, bike paths, bird watching, cricket and the Playground for All Children, a handicap accessible park.

Forest Park: Complete with its own golf course, horse stables, nature trails, carousel, model airplane field, horseshoe pitches and band shell, Forest Park measures up to the larger parks in Queens even if it’s not as big. Its name gives away the fact that over 400 of its 538 acres are covered in woods. For horseback lessons call Lynn’s Riding School at 261-7679. For the Dixie Dew Stables contact 263-3500.

Juniper Valley Park: The Juniper Park Civic Association has helped maintain this park for 60 years. This hard working group publishes Juniper Berry Magazine, cleans up the neighborhood and keeps the park functioning. The park was completed in the early 40s boasting 55 acres, 540 shade trees, numerous play areas and baseball fields and tennis courts.

Kissena Park: With Kissena Park’s bicycles paths, cross-country running track, nature trials and soccer and baseball fields there is no reason visitors can’t get a good workout. But if you just want to relax, picnic by Kissena Lake or under over 100 varieties of European and Asian trees. There is also a golf course on the 235 acres if land. To contact the Kissena Park Golf Course call 939-4594.

Rockaway Beach and Boardwalk:
Swimming is especially popular in this 96 acre park that borders 7.5 miles of the Atlantic Ocean. You can barbecue at Beach 17th, 88th and 98th streets. Quiet zones are in effect from Beach 73rd to 77th streets and 145th to 149th streets.

Socrates Sculpture Park: Once an illegal garbage dump, Socrates Sculpture Park, in Long Island City, is now a 4.5 acre park filled with constantly changing outdoor sculptures.

Other larger parks include:
Francis Lewis Park - 17 acres
Fort Totten - 10 acres - The 10 acres of Fort Totten’s military base are being turned over to the Park’s Department when the land becomes New York City land.
Roy Wilkins Park - 53 acres
