Forest Park is a hilly and natural delight for Queens residents and visitors from across New York City. The eastern portion abounds in hiking trails and bridle paths, while the western portion is an athlete's playground with softball, baseball, tennis, bocce, handball, and golf. Forest Park is also a frequent home of events and concerts found at the George Seuffert, Sr. Bandshell. Park goers recommend this place for a nature walk, where you could see interesting things, collect some sticks, and nice rocks. It is a barking lot for pups. It is a bit dusty, but loved. A free jazz concert was gorgeous. The park is well-maintained and organized, with neatly paved walking trails, clean restrooms, and clearly marked paths. It is safe and welcoming, with a kids' park area complete with a fun water fountain splash pad and multiple slides for different age groups. It is an amazing spot for walking, running, or cycling, with paths wide, shaded, and well separated from road traffic. It is ideal for a family get-together. Parking is surprisingly easy. It is one of the best places in Queens to relax, exercise, or just enjoy nature, always clean, peaceful, and full of beautiful trails and open spaces. It feels like a break from the busy city while still being easily accessible. It is one of the hidden gems of NYC and a real gem among NY's parks. It is a real treat for all of those seeking some underground electronic music history sites.
