Queensbridge Park, Urban park in Long Island City, New York, US
The 20-acre park stretches along the East River, offering wide open spaces, sports fields, basketball courts, and an extensive promenade with views of Manhattan.
Established in 1939 alongside the construction of Queensbridge Houses, the park initially operated under New York City Housing Authority before transferring to Parks and Recreation Department.
Local residents gather in Queensbridge Park for summer concerts featuring diverse musical performances, from R&B to Latin genres throughout the season.
Multiple subway lines and bus routes connect to the park, while walking paths, playgrounds, and baseball diamonds accommodate various recreational activities.
A 2014 renovation added a protective seawall against the East River, incorporating a six-foot-wide promenade named after Elizabeth McQueen.
