Nestled on 12 acres of riverside property facing the United Nations is a stunning park with unparalleled views of the Manhattan skyline. With its well-crafted design, including public lounge areas for relaxation, this park is a popular destination for Queens families. For those interested in a little bit of history, the restored gantries – which were operational until 1967 – serve as a reminder of the area’s past as a loading dock for rail-car floats and barges.
