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 just love this park! Great trails and throughout the seasons it's perfect.

A dad of 2 young kids, and I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting places to take them. I was really impressed when I found this, The playground was clean, well-maintained, and had a lot of shade, which was perfect for a hot summer day. The kids had a blast playing on the playground. There were slides, swings, climbing structures, etc. In addition to being fun for kids, the playground was also a great place for parents to relax and socialize. There were plenty of benches and tables, and the playground was located in a quiet neighborhood next to Forest Park. Highly recommend this playground to any parent looking for a fun and safe place to take their kids. It's a great place to let kids run around and burn off some energy, and it's also a great place for parents to relax and socialize. Would definitely recommend this playground to any parent looking for a fun and safe place to take their kids.

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.

Such a wonderful,big park. A place to get lost in. I have a few times. Great trails,off the best paths to explore. So lucky to be able to come here all the time

Great place to escape the city and enjoy some fresh air. Perfect for biking or walking a dog. A 10 minute walk from the J and Z trains

Urban park where you quickly immerse in lush surroundings and sounds of nature. Many trail options for walking, running & cycling. The park is in great condition. Overall, it is a pleasant park for families and sport enthusiasts.

Among the parks in NYC, this is one of my favorites. being divided by woodhaven boulevard doesn't stop this from being a large park. massive. on one side, you've got a golf course, band shell, grilling areas, a carousel, basketball courts, and a kids playground. and on the other side, you've got a massive baseball field that doubles as a soccer field, a softball field, a full track for running, and plenty of walking/hiking trails. it's a place I go to all year round but especially in the summers. there's plenty of parking on the west side of woodhaven and lots to do. if you're planning on using the grilling areas during a holiday, I suggest you head out early and reserve a spot. the park is popular and fills up quickly. if you decide to walk the trails, aside from the sounds of cars in the distance, you can easily find yourself feeling like you're in a forest miles from a city.

I’m a spring baby and this park was my haven this year. So many interesting surprises along my hike through it. One of my little gems. It’s clean and never crowded. I spot blue jays and other colorful birds and wild cats. Feels great being wrapped up in nature. Every visit cleanses my soul from the overwhelm of the City that I love❤️❤️❤️❤️

A nice park with forest like feel without any of the risks, as they have a tons of trails and it is always close to the road (max half a mile). Allocate at least 1 hour for it as the closest subway station and bus stop can be over 30-40 minutes away at various parts of the forest. There were a few spooky things due to people not respecting the forest which makes you feel sad but also wonder why that and why there.

I am loving this park since discovering it last year during the pandemic. If you’re from around the area, this is definitely a great way to enjoy nature in Queens. Trails are paved and are well maintained. Just please do take your trash with you and leave no trace.

Nice to walk through to enjoy the little bit of nature we have in the area. Great to bring your dog to socthey can run around. Wish they would do something with the railroad though.

Absolutely beautiful and quiet!!! Loved the trails. It is very hilly, so be prepared for the inclines. The leaves are stunning to see in the Fall. Perfect foliage 🍂🍁

This park, is huge! Lots of walking trails, people jogging and dog walkers. Get in touch with nature! Love it to escape the madness from the city.

So pretty! Loving the fall colors, the crunchy leaves, the open roadways, some closed to traffic. Many people jog here or bike here or simply go for a stroll. Very calming although easy to get confused navigating the entrances and exits of the trails and stuff.

Visited the Bark Park. Lots of room to run around in. Plenty of room to play fetch with a ball. Separate sections for big dogs and small dogs. The dog park is all dirt so it gets muddy. Ruby loved her visit, but had to be cleaned after her visit. She loved running in the mud puddles.

Love this park. It is huge and has a little of everything: playground, Freedom drive, tall wonderful smelling pines, horse trails, people trails, statues, benches everywhere, and of course: so much nature.

Very Family 👪 oriented park. Great for BBQs!

One of the good park to drive and breathe some fresh air straight from the trees. I avoid this place on weekends as it tends to be crowded. It is a good place to hike for like an hour. I enjoy walking under the shades of these gigantic trees. The hike makes you feel good and lively. Recommended if you live within 5 miles radius.

Absolutely beautiful 😍. Who knew this was right in Queens and not upstate NY. There's great trails that you can try. Very peaceful 🌳🌿

Started coming here more often in the last few months, because I have more free time and got tired of Flushing Meadow Park. This is the best place to go on a hike in NY as if you were in the wilderness without actually being there. I do wish there were lots more road map signs so I don't get lost. As well as more benches throughout the park, because it's hard to work so far without a good place to sit sometimes.

Amazing place! You'll loose track of time walking here cuz it's so peaceful. There are many hiking trails, bike lanes and a small pond with small fishes and turtles. Only down side is that it is packed with mosquitoes. Extremely family friendly. Since there isn't many places where you can go nowadays during this pandemic I will suggest you take your family or friends and take a visit here.

Clean,well maintained but the washroom was close so I had to leave..

Love taking the kids here when in queens . Family lives a few blocks away, once you enter it feels like you are in the woods in Oregon, really amazing place to in the middle of the concrete jungle.

Great park . Huge! Runs through Kee Gardens - Forest Hills . Bathroom available, dog friendly. Many different areas of the park. Beautiful all seasons but summer is most definitely the best time of year .

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!

What a great park! A lot more organic than the Central Park (in my opinion) . Love the hiking trails and the small playground to do sports. Totally recommend!

The park was created in 1895, however some of the trees are over 150 years old, it’s the tenth largest park in nyc, third largest in Queens, about 500 acres, rich in green & history, open all year, high quality air, this place makes for a fantastic outing/hike every time.

Old playground, hope somebody will renew it, it will be nice and has lot of tree, good shade

Lucky to get to enjoy acre after acre of Forest Park. Family friendly, lots of space for play and bird watching.

Good place for work out

Great place to visit

Tremendous amount of leaves all over fairways

Beautiful and peaceful!

Awesome and family friendly

Just think of it as a forest alot of people jogging and cycling and enjoying the scenery

Good skatepark with trapezoid, mini-ramp, quarters etc.

Such a great, large, and beautiful park. Many trails inside of it. Very wooded. Great to go for some light hiking or walk the dogs. There are also horse trails inside of it. The only problem is that it's not very clean. Trash is thrown around the trails often and there's broken glass and broken bottles all over the place. It's best to stay directly on the main trails or the well-kept trails because the side ones have so much glass and I'm afraid for my dog's paws. Overall, it's nice to have such a large park with many walkable areas in Queens.

One of the most "woodsy" parks I've been to in the city. The scenery is pretty amazing to take in.

Beautiful park with trails for riding, walking, basketball, kid friendly, toddler swings, adult swings, dog park within the park that is enclosed. You can find many moms and dads playing with their kids in the playground or simply just strolling their babies...grandparents too! Love it. Very clean.

Cool park

Very outdoorsy

It is an amazing park so many trails, so many hills, and not very crowded wich I am ok with that!

Great atmosphere can be a bit humid in densely forested areas

A gem

NICE TO WALK ON THE TRACK THEN WATCH SOFTBALL AND SOCCER GAMES

The park is large and you can re-connect with nature. Park is not that crowded but during late summer some people drop garbage there like empty water bottle etc. There is great trails which i use for biking.

Beautiful park that has a lot to offer for tourists, families, or anyone that wants to hang out there. It's great that it has a bandshell, a playground, and multiple courts for playing different sports.

Large clean forest. Great for a quick hike. However it is located next to a busy highway.

If one owns a dog this is the best place there's a very large area of where you can take your dog off leash. And your dog will love it. Very clean. Very well manicured. I will definitely go back often

Beautiful and bucolic. Although this has right fairways as any city course would have it is challenging and interesting.

Walk in the park any morning heading down to the Subway. Always cooler in Summer and a little warmer (windbreak) in the Winter. Lucky to live nearby, with the city doing a good job of maintaining.

It's about 4 miles long no car inside de Park except to the parking lot. It over 72k square miles surrounded by beautiful pine trees and many more. It have horses trail and bike trail, running track, public Bathroom and exercise machine. I personally love it and recommended to anyone who wants to spend a day BBQ with 👪

Love the serenity of the park. It has two sides one more family oriented and there is the side for those who prefer jogging, ridding bikes and hiking. It's great for a walk or a hike within the city.

This place is lovely. You and your family will enjoy the presence of chipmunks 🐿. This park is well located and offers so much for a beautiful day out. You can safely do your work out there, or just enjoy running 🏃‍♂️. It's a wonderful place for kids.

Did you know this park was designed by the same person who did Central Park? There's so much to do in this huge park. I've gone horse back riding, biking, running, yoga, foraging and more. A lot of locals here so you won't be bumping into a lot of tourists like Central Park. Enjoy!

This park is beautiful and safe. It’s huge and has many trails. Definitely good for a nature walk. If you’re a hiker there aren’t many hills but for sure you will get your distance. I definitely recommend checking it out!

My Favorite place to go for a trail run

photograpable

Great place to ride a bike; dedicated lanes, fresh air

Very nice and .clean !!!!!

Great park in middle of the noise city, beautiful brief fresh air from the trees and listen to the birds.

A blessing to our community. Wish the city could clean it on a daily basis and keep it safe for our kids to run around. Too many sharp glasses everywhere. Literally. Everywhere. 📛 Be careful!⛔

Nice place

It's an oasis in the middle of the concrete jungle. It's literally a forest. It was a great experience to lay down on the ground and watch the stars. It also has an antique carousel. It's a good spot to have a picnic and go for a jog. I really enjoyed Forest Park. I recommend to spend an evening.

GREAT place to roam around freely and enjoy a fair amount of green and varying terrain outside the concrete jungle. But I'm taking a big fat star off because right as it fell dark, there were sketchy people like every 100 feet or so on the trails who almost seemed to be lurking, giving me stone cold looks in spite of me waving or saying hey or whatsup... maybe the idea that I felt like I as made to feel unwelcome or like a target was in my head, but the vibe was way off and public parks should not feel this way. I urge people to travel in groups if your self-defense skills or athleticism isn't up to snuff.

I love that place, forest park it's so natural and I love to see squirrels, Chipmunk and so many birds, love it.

Lots of trees. Most of them are alive but even the dead trees are pretty neat

Still a great refuge. How it never changes.

Really nice to share energy with all the trees

Absolutely love to run on the tracks of Forest Park! Nice trails and great terrain. Forest Park rules!

It's a good place.

I like this park for riding my bike ...but no bring my family..summers domincan people play loud music on the parking, smoke hookah etc... Have a bad experience bbq area .... Not a peaceful place ...police sometimes do something about it but they always come back with that noise...

Very nice and quiet park. Ideal for photography.

Is a nice place to run

Great place to run and walk your dog. Especially beautiful this time of year.

Love it

Great dog run and open air classical music concert in October.

Best park to walk

My favorite park to exercise.

Enjoyed a nice hike yesterday at Forest Park. Many trails to choose from. Beautiful wooded scenery. Bring yourself, your family, your bike, your dog. A great escape from the city while in the city.

Nice park

Great park for a nice stroll - be it alone, with family/friends, or your doggie companion.

excellent place for jogging biking

Beautiful park

Beautiful trails, great for a family outing.

It was raining but I don't blame the park. What I like: . The park is well named; it's a true, dense forest in a city . The bandshell must be great on a nice summer's night . A volunteer generously cleaning up the garbage . The trees . Small pocket gardens (by greenhouse, by administration building, etc.) Become a volunteer for this city asset.
