    I always enjoy coming to the LIC promenade. The views of the city are magnificent. There are two play areas for kids Hunter point has the larger with a dog park. The grounds are well maintained and plenty of seating throughout. A good place to run. You can get the ferry from Hunters point.

    This time I drive to the park not taking ferry like last time. The parking spot is hard to find. The park is very busy and fully of people in the evening. Tons of dogs are walking around. Overall, I still like and happy to come to this park enjoy my Friday evening. Nice view and it's not too much tourist.

    Beautiful little park by the water that’s super clean! It’s really nice walk with some small cherry blossom trees. It has a nice walking path, playground, basketball court, and dog park. There’s also some planted flowers that add a nice touch. The view of Manhattan and the bridge from here is absolutely stunning. There’s a bunch of food trucks as well along the park on the street side so you can grab a snack. There was a good amount of people there this Friday afternoon but didn’t feel crowded. It’s a nice spot to come relax and enjoy LIC and admire Manhattan & city life. There’s good restaurants too nearby as well as a good bakery. Definitely worth a visit 😎

    Beautiful park right by the water with amazing views of the city. Very safe and quiet. Always come by when I have a chance and will always come back. Beautiful walking paths and bike paths with scenic views from the cola sign down to the beautiful building of the NYC Skyline very recommended during the summer time gets packed but very cool place over all here’s some pictures I was able to take last time I visited

    A great park to relax, very peaceful. It has some of the best views of midtown Manhattan skyline . Some great playgrounds for kid. Lots of food trucks nearby. There are lots of other locations to visit along this riverside trail like the Long Islands Sign and the Pepsi Cola Sign. There are ferry rides available from here as well.

    Great place to watch the 4th of July fireworks. Make sure you go in by 5 PM. Otherwise you won’t be let in. Entry is free. There will not be any parking so take public transport. Going back after the event is a challenge but the police does a excellent work in protecting and organizing the passage to the subway.

    This place is sincerely like being in another world! The skyline view next to the river is breath-taking! There are many recreational activities for adults and for kids ( like volleyball court, soccer field, basketball court and a huge fun kids playground ) I came here with my whole family and we had a blast!! My kids loved the playground soo much they didn't want to leave. I loved the fact that they have restrooms and a small sandwich shop so you can seat and eat something in case you get hungry.

    A beautiful place to spend your evening! A huge space for long walk, lots of benches to sit and enjoy gorgeous views of skyline! Several food trucks close by to grab quick bite to eat if feeling hungry!

    Newly built spectacular 10 acre park with amazing views across the East River of Midtown Manhattan skyline. It should not be missed!

    Beautiful city park! Amazing views of Ed Koch bridge, Chrysler building, Summit and Empire State! Very nice family friendly park with plenty of space to stroll around! There was a bit of fog in weather, will definitely go again and check in night!!

    Hier gibt’s wirklich alles was man in einem Park sucht bzw brauchen könnte. Schaukeln, Rutschen, Hundebereich, Platz zum Radfahren, WC Anlagen, Kleines Restaurant für Essen und Trinken zum mitnehmen und natürlich nicht zu vergessen, die Fähre rüber nach Manhattan ist natürlich auch gleich im / beim Park. Und dann D E R Ausblick auf Midtown Manhattan…. eine Sensation!

    This park is beautiful and has lots of events and activities to attend. I go to yoga every Monday from 7-8! Joy (yoga instructor) is amazing and looking out at the skyline while doing yoga is lovely. They also do CrossFit. There’s a kids playground, basketball court (not a full court), beach volleyball area, bathrooms, and this cute restaurant that I need to check out! Lots of space to walk or bike. It’s usually pretty busy on a summer night.

    Awesome place to enjoy later in the afternoon. Loved it. We stayed for the sunset and I must say that it was perfect! And a plus is seeing the city lights lighting up. We got there by subway + a 5 min walk

    This park has beautiful views. It is clean and family friendly. The dog run is wonderful. It has two sides, one for smaller dogs and one for bigger ones. Rubio, my friend's doggie played in both. Each side has a pool for the doggies to play in or just cool off. It even has a hill like structure for doggies to play on. Everybody was very nice and their doggies were very friendly and well behaved. I have video of the doggies in the dog run but I can't seem to add it with the photos.

    Great park to visit. For several reasons.. Plenty of activities to do ranging from sports to dog parks to jogging, cycling, walking on a long board, enjoying the view of Manhattan from the distance. Large soccer field with plenty of benches, and public restrooms available near the field. Plenty of food and beverages surrounding the area whether it be in the park itself or the nearby neighborhood. The positioning of the park is very close to Long Island City. The words are showcased on a large board right behind the long board. Water activities on the water itself available. From going on cruise ships to private speed boats, there is plenty of variety for all ages. A wide voluminous amount of culture of people found as well, from Asian to Hindu to American to Hispanic to Black, New York has it all. Great place to easily make new friends. Dogs included! There is a dog park for your pets to play at right next to the playground. The playgrounds included are one for children and another for adults right next to it. In addition to that, there's a training area, pull up bar, and basketball court. Overall a very lively place to visit during a weekend or holiday!

    It is a nice, clean place to walk near the water with clear paths & plenty of seating (loinges, hammocks, booths). Family-friendly activities & dog park nearby. There are a variety of food trucks & ice cream.

    It is well maintained and is the best spot to view Manhattan's skyscrapers. You can see both the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. Free yoga and Zumba fitness classes in the summer are also fun.

  • 5/5 Lani C. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s lovely here and the seating options are so well thought out. I visited during the week in the early afternoon and it wasn’t overcrowded at all. Enjoyed getting some photos of Manhattan.

    Best place to visit. I went there during EID celebration and it was amazing. View was great and also best view of river. All the way best experience.

  • 5/5 Daphne V. 1 year ago on Google
    I just moved into this area and it is just a beautiful place. Waterfront view from my apartment and the amenities are amazing!! You have the park where you can walk your dog(s), take a long walk or go jogging. Or simply sit at the waterfront and meditate. No pictures yet it's super cold out but I will post some soon.

    Spent a lovely Saturday morning walking the trails at this park, enjoying some stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. We then took the East River ferry to Wall Street which was just such fabulous way to enjoy views of the various bridges and highlights of the city!

  • 5/5 Sheck W. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolument amazing place to hang out and wait the NYC Ferry

  • 4/5 Angela Carmen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the stunning views of Manhattan from the park. The bathroom however lowers the rating because it has only 3 stalls. There are green spaces, a dog run and children's play area.

  • 5/5 Erdwing N. 2 years ago on Google
    Its my favorite place in all queens. You have the BEST view for Midtown. You can take the Ferry to Financial District and then Rockaway Beach, you can also take a Ferry to Roosevelt Island. The place is huge with lots of outdoor stuff to do, from Volleyball, Watching a movie, exercise, walk, chill and enjoy the many things that happen around. Definitely recommended.
