Forest Park

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!
