A former industrial area along the Long Island City coast has been transformed into a welcoming public space, with newly-install landscaping and amenities. Ride the protected bike path to the park and unpack for a picnic lunch along the waterfront or get some exercise on the fitness equipment and sports fields. Children have plenty of choices for playground equipment and everyone can enjoy a meandering trip through the landscaped gardens via elevated walkways. Even the dogs can enjoy their own new dog park! Visit the park at sundown for a beautiful view of Midtown Manhattan backlit by the sunset sky.
