Astoria Park

Astoria Park is a green space in Queens along the East River with sports facilities and pathways offering views of Manhattan and the Triborough Bridge. The park contains different areas for activity and rest, with a large swimming pool as a central feature.

The land was home to the Steinway & Sons piano factory until 1910, when New York City transformed it into a public recreation area. This change gave Queens residents access to a large park with river views.

The park functions as a meeting place where the neighborhood gathers for outdoor movies and summer concerts. These events shape how people use and experience the space throughout the year.

The park is easy to reach on foot and offers wide pathways accessible to visitors with different mobility levels. The best time to visit is during warmer months, especially when the pool and special events are open.

The site has several level changes that create natural amphitheaters providing spaces for different activities. These slopes create hidden corners with views that larger parks often lack.
