Flushing Meadows–Corona Park

It is a large public park with many trees, walking paths, two lakes, and grassy areas that are perfect for a picnic. The park is a popular place for residents to relax and play when the weather is nice. The park is 897 acres (3.6 square kilometers), so be prepared to walk a lot. It is possible to rent a bicycle near the Passarelle Building at the north entrance.
