Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Urban park in Queens, United States.
The 897-acre Flushing Meadows park contains two lakes, sports facilities, museums, and the steel globe structure called the Unisphere at its center point.
The land transformed from marshland to ash dump before Robert Moses developed it to host the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs exhibitions.
The Queens Museum within the park displays art collections and holds the detailed architectural model of New York City's five boroughs.
The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in the park hosts the annual US Open tournament through August and September.
The park connects to Willow Lake, a protected freshwater wetland that provides a sanctuary for native plants and migratory birds.
