Forest Park, Urban park in Queens, New York, US
Forest Park spans 538 acres of natural woodland between Richmond Hill and Kew Gardens, featuring recreational spaces and ecological zones across rolling hills.
The administration of Mayor Abram Hewitt established Forest Park in 1895, preserving natural terrain and incorporating existing cemetery grounds into municipal land.
The George Seuffert Sr. Bandshell within the park hosts summer concerts, drawing local residents for musical performances throughout the season.
