VAN CORTLANDT PARK REVIEWS
A very beautiful park to frequent. The trails are amazing. I highly recommend enjoying every acher. I love all the wildlife you come across throughout this trail. We were on our hiboy escooters and enjoyed the scenery even more. There are so many places to stop in between and enjoy the scenery. We even traveled the trail at night and encountered some bats along the way. I'm not sure how long exactly this trail is, but we definitely traversed about fifteen miles worth of it. It's definitely worth the visit.
Blocks from my house this place has become my little sanctuary. No matter what season you come in the surrounding are beautiful. I enjoy the trails and ponds. Take a walk and you’ll be surprised what you see.
Nice waking and hiking trails, not too difficult so a good place to take kids and pets. Note that there are usually people with small motorized vehicles on the concrete railroad path.

FOREST PARK REVIEWS
Great park to walk or relax in. It's seriously a massive park with lots of trails to choose from and also has great spots for picnics and just spending time with family. There's also a carousel and a lot of vendors selling italian ice and frozen treats around the park. I imagine that the trees would look beautiful in the fall or after a it snows in the winter too. Forest Park is like the Central Park of Queens. Would definitely recommend coming here. It's close to public transportation too.
I rarely give 5 stars but good lord this is a hidden gem in nyc. I think it's the only actual forest in nyc. So much beautiful wooded space you can actually find privacy inside nyc. The only thing missing is camping. Beautiful running trails for you and your dogs. Lots of wildlife with chipmunks running amock and owls, hawks foxes. Horse trails also! And great grafitti art with old retired train tracks. Super cool to explore and urban exploration.
Great experience that feels like the woods of the countryside. Aside from Jackie Robinson Hwy that you can see from a small area of the trail, it’s protected and city structures are out of sight. Highly recommend!

CUNNINGHAM PARK REVIEWS
Such a large park, not far from Alley Pond. Actually you can walk to it. Great trails with many fields, uses for soccer, baseball and many other sports. On Saturday morning you can get in place with a yoga class, or simply pull out a blanket and have lunch. Bring a chair and watch the RC Flyers send their planes up into the sky. I love it! There's also a dog run. The only thing you have to bring for certain is positive energy.
This is a large park that is very well maintained. Lovely family fun spaces like picnics areas with fully equipped BBQ grill. There are tennis courts and volleyball areas. But my favorite are the beautiful nature trails. Great for hiking and connecting with nature. It's beautiful and peaceful. You forget you're even in Queens.
Cunningham Park is sooo beautiful in many ways they have trails BBQ areas tennis courts and much more attached to Alley Pond Parks Motor Parkway it's Awesome.
