Alley Pond Park

What an amazing place to go for a walk. If you walk through the woods, you would hear sounds of birds chirping. Absolutely amazing in the summer and fall. Summer is full of green trees and in the fall, fall foliage is really amazing as well. Highly recommended 10/10

My daughter gives this place a 10/10. We went for a school trip and I had low expectations. It was a rainy morning but their center is indoors where they have animals for the kids to see and touch. They give great information about animals and their environment. The staff were very nice to the children and answered all questions these kids threw their way. They were patient and kind.

They take you on a short walk where you mostly see squirrels and birds. I like how our guide Erica lifted up a log to show the kids mushrooms and insects that lived underneath.

It was a cool experience .

Best park in Queens. Has everything from tennis courts to bike trails and even an adventure course. Nice BBQ area by Springfield Blvd. The paths here are scenic and they connect to Cunningham park as well. Personally like the Douglaston side of the park better but the whole area is great for getting fresh air and taking in nature

Simply beautiful! Lots of walking and biking paths, with a very nice visitors/ecological center that is geared towards educating kids about the wonders of nature and how to respect it. If you have a chance to sit and enjoy the wooded areas, you will be surrounded by a tranquil experience that transports you to another realm.

The second largest park in Queens. The LIE, Grand central Parkway and Cross-island Parkway run through the park. Beautiful and great place for nature walk in the woods or engaging in various activities in the more open areas. The park also offers educational programs. A great escape to nature from busy city life without having to travel far.
