Kissena Park has a lot of great walking trails a big beautiful artificial pond that's stocked with fish for fishing and you could always watch the turtles and the swans although the fish must be returned back because they're too small there's also plenty of shade trees so even if the Sun is blasting you can still stay cool the bathrooms stay open until 4:00 a.m. they have two located centrally in the park they have benches they have the checkerboard top tables It's relatively a free from electrical vehicle park every once in awhile you'll see somebody on a bicycle but for the good part it's about 80% walking they have parks there for little children to play in parking is not a problem because all around the park is free parking outside the park on the street the park has a bocce court which people play their regularly and they are very friendly and welcome anyone who would like to play I have found Casino Park to be exceptional in its feeling of Serenity and peace you can sit almost anywhere in that Park and find comfort in one way or another you can hear the birds chirping you can see the squirrels running and just in general the smiles on everyone's face and the happiness that the park provokes is outstanding

Loved it. Lived in this area my entire life. Came out the day before to enjoy the snow with family and saw all the kids with their sleds absolutely enjoying the hillside sledding. Looks like the parks Dept set up a barrier of hay bails and fencing to ensure the kids safety at the bottom and don't fly off into the lake..........what an awesome time and the view here in winter is as spectacular as in summer.....great park....has a sense of mystery around every bend with trails for hiking/jogging/biking/birdwatching, etc....on the top end near the War memorial people often doing Tai Chi and dancercise. Obviously you have the lake and birds. In summer turtles. Playgrounds and baseball fields all over. Anyone in the area do yourself a favor and stop and take a walk around....or do some sledding!!

What an amazing hidden gem in the center of queens, there are a few different trails through out the park where the trees are shaped like animals, great for kids as the trails will lead you to the pond where swans n ducks n turtles swim, no feed the wildlife but people do. Not only are there trails there are baseball fields, playgrounds n a bicycle racing track n there is a parking lot which the park is clean inside n out in the parking lot n Let's not forget to mention there is a restroom room for Male n Females which are extremely clean.... If you want a funday out this is a great park to head to with a picnic basket

They've updated the bathroom. It's more modern and cleaner now. They also stock them up more frequently. There is a large lake where ducks, geese, and turtles swim around. Some people go fishing in the lake. There are a good amount of pokestops in the park, and Spectrum WiFi or Cable WiFi. There are several good spots for picnics or setting up a volleyball game. There are plenty of trees so it stays breezy and shady in the summer. It's a large park with some secluded areas. It would feel safer if they had more security cars patrolling the grounds especially when it's getting late. A woman was murdered here once.

A wide ranging park with walking trails, to the velodrome, a playground off Booth Memorial Avenue, a baseball field and much more. The park has quite a lot to offer. Much area exists for dog walking
Playground
A playground is off Booth Memorial Avenue, offering a place for kids to play and exercise
Dog-friendliness
Dogs can walk around the large areas available a lot of field area to walk and play, unsure if there is a play area specifically designated to dogs

beautiful lake, very clean which is salt not what one can say about a lot of our precious water sites in the city. the wildlife is gorgeous, many turtles were seen, mallards, Canadian geese, even swans and raccoons! many places to sit and relax, picnic, and spend time with friends. I lives it. a wonderful little gem in the city. there's public parking about a 10 minute walk from the lake, but there's plenty of street parking closer to the lake.

Decent park, not the best of manicured lawns or adult fitness areas but the pond is nice with ducks and many red eared slider turtles. There are areas to picnic, but the grass isn't thick, lush and verdant. Good sized children's playground. Wish there was lusher lawns and more beautiful flowering plants around. There are some very tall sunflowers and half the pond has fencing around it to prevent accidentally falling in.

Good scenery. Lots of benches to sit. Amazing place for pictures. The lake is alright. Not the most beautiful park out there but if your in Queens, this is a nice place to spend a weekend. Definitely does not compare to a park like Central Park. It has the basic necessities of a park: playground, basketball court, lake. It does not have the fancy tourist spots like the waterfalls and castles in central park.

Kissena park is beautiful! It's underrated and overlooked compared to nearby parks. It's got fewer people peeing on trees, less noise pollution and littering compared to flushing meadows and almost as many amenities like tennis court, run paths and bike facilities. It's a bit harder to access, but that filters out a lot of people who simply go to Parks to get high or engage in anti social behavior

This is a large queens park right in the middle of the boro. It has a dirty brown pond, tennis, softball fields, walking/running trails and a velodrome. Among other usual park-offerings. Would be nice if there were some local events here. I remember they used to have medieval jousting on Sundays. Or was it larping? Anyway, this is an ok park. Could be cleaner.

Best park around (along with Bowne park). Nice place for a walk to get your mind off all the hustle and bustle of Flushing. Many scenic areas here.
Playground
Multiple playgrounds in the park
Restrooms
Multiple restrooms
Dog-friendliness
Great place for a dog walk
Picnic area
Nice place to sit down and enjoy nature over some food

Kissena park is a fantastic place to visit for its gorgeous scenery and plentiful outdoor activities. The walking/biking paths are beautiful. The lake is stunning and often has ducks, geese, turtles, and even swans. My 5 year old son loves visiting and playing at the jungle gyms. This park has restroom facilities which are usually in good condition.

I found a nice spot to fly my drone around like an obstacles course. There are small trees that line up in such away making navigating around them challenging and fun. beautiful and peaceful place perfect if your not an experience drone pilot and if you know what your doing with your drone you'll have a blast ripping it through the trees.

Update May 2, 2022: Just as beautiful as always! So well taken care of. There's a gorgeous swan protecting a nest of eggs that may hatch around Mother's Day--The park has done a nice job of fencing her area off to onlookers! There are some really nice flowering dogwood(?) trees to see on your visit, too!

I grew up in this area over sixty years ago. The park is beautiful and used by the people that live there. Many children and families were out in the playground. The trail around the lake was well maintained. So happy that the city has kept up with maintaining the natural beauty of this land.

What is THIS? A visit by a dignitary? A celebrity? I asked one of the very patient spectators, and at first he was VERY reluctant to divulge what this entire group with high powered zoom lens-cameras were so eagerly awaiting— finally he said it was a BIRD!!!!!! This was memorial day -2023

So beautiful and a wonderful place to have a nice walk. Saw a lot of different bird species including swans, ducks, grackles and more. There are also different turtles in the lake which was cool to see. Overall, I would recommend to come here for a walk or a picnic on a nice day.

lived by this park almost my whole life and I'm so grateful. there's just so many different spaces within the park itself - a lake, tennis courts, playgrounds, basketball hoops, so so much more. it's pretty underrated/unknown by people not in the area and I prefer it that way :)

Beautiful green park away from tourism. Mostly only visited by locals in the area. Plenty of space to have a picnic, play sports, workout, walk the dogs or simply pass the time. There is also a huge lake in the middle surrounded by tall trees, be sure to walk around.

Beautiful park to get away from the hustle-and-bustle of normal city life, it's a hidden gem tucked away in East Queens. The park is safe and full of life, the large lake has ducks and turtles, and there is a plethora of walking trails scattered around the park.

Lots of things to do spread throughout the park. There is a velodrome here for bicycles. Pond fishing. Playgrounds for children. Handball and basketball courts. There is a short hiking trail as well here that is more extensive then it appears from the maps.

Love it. Very peaceful Lots of different routes thru the park offer different scenery. Busy at times and people play games on the paved roads which can be super annoying. People need to be more courteous and mindful of bike riders. Otherwise gorgeous park

Beautiful park with a lot of trees. Perfect place to take a walk or picnic when weather is nice. Love to come here when my kids were younger. There are two Playgrounds, one with sprinkler. And it's enjoyable to watch waterfowls and turtles in the lake.

My daughter like to go there over and over. She like the play group but very small. Lake have the fresh water with the lots of duck. Badminton play ground also there. Chinese people play monopoly all day in this park. Also bathrooms available there.

Kissena Park is a huge park!!! There is a big lake and there are lots of activities you can do. There's lots of grass fields. You can bring your pets to play there. Lots of trees and they have a special place with exotic trees. There's a

Nice park for jogging meetup with friends. Has restrooms in multiple location. Tennis court baseball filed basketball etc. Sign says do not feed wildlife but seems like everybody ignore that. Street parking available around the park.

This park is a blessing for Flushing residents'. The trees are beautiful, the pond is full of life, and the hard working people that keep it clean and safe for the lucky visitors are great. Enjoy and relax! ☀️✨ …

Very nice park with lake that has ducks and swans, turtles. Lots of paved paths for walking and bike riding.
Playground
Several playground areas for children.
Dog-friendliness
A good place to walk your dog.

I love this park. The lake has fish where you can go fishing, but! You must put them back in the water. They have turtles and ducks. You can also walk around the pound, and they do have a path for inclined situations.

Park like always very clean and very nice to be here the environment and the animals that are near the pond always keep the park looking amazing its always a nice adventure to walk throu this amazing park

Always nice place to visit with your family and friends. You can either fishing and play with your r/c boat. There's a lot of grass to play soccer, baseball and volleyball. Amazing on fall to visit too

This is a gorgeous place to go for a walk and take in the parks beauty. There are also events that the park rangers host teaching about the history of the parks. It's very interesting and educational.

absolutely beautiful park. it doesnt even feel like you’re in a city. gorgeous views and trees. lovely trails to walk on, highly recommend you check out this park if you’re anywhere nearby in NY!

Beautiful park with a beautiful lake. Great place for morning or afternoon walks. Summer Picnic overlooking the lake. Playground for kids, basketball court, tennis courts and a soccer field.

Kissena Park is one of those small pockets of nature that are so welcomed in New York. The park is relatively small but it's super full of amenities to enjoy, especially if you have kids

It is a nice park for walk and jogg. Too bad, no flowers to see. It would be better if there is some flowers too. But one thing glad we walked ‍♀️, because we saw two owls .. …

Beautiful scenic park in the middle of Fresh Meadows. Has a big pond with geese, ducks and turtles. A few playgrounds for children and lots of benches to sit and enjoy the fresh air.

It’s a small park but very beautiful and quite. It’s good for exercise like walking ‍♀️, running ‍♂️, biking ‍♀️. There is some children playground. It’s really nice. …

Beautiful lake and well paved paths surrounding the lake. Paths around the tennis courts can be improved though. Well maintained and great for walk, run, or bike in all seasons.

One of my favorite and most beautiful, well maintained park I have ever been. Lots of nice memories! I love the swans and the ducks. Enjoyable place to be for the whole family.

Cute park! Playground, bathrooms, basketball, trails. We came here for a Winnie the Pooh- themed birthday party in the “Hundred Acre Woods”. Didn’t see any grills, though.

Beautiful in every season like spinning a diamond under light and seeing each facet's glimmer. Love the swans in the lake and the peaceful atmosphere. Great place to jog.

This park is huge. You can either bring the kids to the playground or go hiking in the park. There's a lot to explore. It's a great place if you're a bird watching fan.

Beautiful park. 2 playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, and a beautiful lake. Lots of wildlife. Always clean and lots of space for picnics and just to relax!

Clean, beautiful! A hidden gem in Queens. While not as big as the sprawling Flushing Meadows Park, this park has plenty of space to walk, picnic or throw a frisbee.

One of my favorite parks in NYC ❤️ it has a nice lake with swans. Safe neighborhood and safe to go on your own. Dog- friendly park and the restrooms were decent.

Nice park. There is plenty of shade and a lake with turtles, swans, and geese. Bathrooms are good and in okay shape. Many trails and a great place for biking

The pond is clean, the air is clear, and there are many places to park. A place where children can play is also good. It's a great place to take a walk.

Beautiful park in Queens. It's a hidden gem. With short trails, a pond with turtles and ducks, mutiple children's playgrounds. I can't wait to go back!

Cute park, mainly go to play tennis, which fills up really fast even if you get there at 8 a.m. great for wedding photos and thr best part.. it's free!

It is a park that I have always liked very much. It has a lake, beautiful trees, swans, ducks and turtles. A park well worth a relaxing visit.

Great place to sit and relax with family or friends. A walk around the lake make you feel great with birds watching in spring and summer

They should have a playground for kids or have I not seen it. It’s a clean park. Jogging is challenging at first. Not too many people !

It's a wonderful park with really well done paths that meander and loop to give the illusion that it's even bigger than it is.

Beautiful space and surprisingly clean. You also get to see a wide variety of wildlife. A raccoon and red fox sighting …

On word... Velodrome! My 7 year old had a blast racing around the track and so did I. The park and lake were also beautiful.

It's a best park which is clean. But people smoke marijuana while they are fishing. Some people smoke cigarette in park.

It’s a beautiful park. Sitting on a nice neighborhood. There are newborns in swan family and lots cute animals.

Beautiful Park to take a walk with family & dog. It has a pond with ducks & turtles. A playgrounds for kids.

So pretty, especially in the fall. One of my favorite parks in New York. Everyone there seems so relaxed.

Nice quite park. Easy parking on street. Nice view of lake. Restroom are available . Lovely neighborhood

Full of flies. Nice place but tough to have a picnic when so many flelirs are all over you

Very nice clean park! Lovely to spend the afternoon after work. I like 5-6pm the most.
