    Me and the Folks at Bowne Park.  It's their favorite park of all.
    David D.

    Lot's of History at this Park. I grew up a few blocks away and this was "The Park." Would hang out with friends or family here all the time. It was my parent's favorite park--they really never went to any other park. It has a good feel to it--like you kind of got away from the city. It's in a good neighborhood of homes. There is a pond, it sometimes has turtles. Bike and walking paths. Bathrooms Playground Even old guys from Sicily playing Bocce Ball.

    This sign was too cute not to take a photo with ^_^

    This park is so underrated that it's insane!! After grabbing lunch in the Northern Boulevard area, my boyfriend and I wanted to walk off our food babies and we saw that Bowne Park is only a 10 minute drive away. We didn't expect to experience the almost "nature conservancy", if you will. The park is also well-maintained and filled with people young and old. The playground area has a beautiful area of water sprinklers that I've only seen as trash can-esque statues in lower Brooklyn. The park is colorful and has really intricate and colorful decorations. There are swings and slides for the younger children and the regular ball courts for teens to enjoy. There is also a restroom that seemed relatively clean. Now, if you walk past the playground area, you will find yourself in a serene pond area. I saw people fishing and families just laying on the grass under the large trees. I was so excited to see ducks, fish and turtles inhabiting the pond. I actually got up close to the turtles and fish because they were just chilling by the shore :) Many people were also walking their pups and I got to meet my first Samoyed! It was truly an amazing day. (^^)

    It's a nice park, although not big but it's a clean and pretty quiet place. In the middle of the neighbours and people take walks, kids, and some bring their dogs for a walk. There's geese and ducks in the pond too. A few garbage cans and a few paths. Not much but it's a peaceful park, and I do enjoy it.

    Nice little park to jog, stroll or walk your dog. I bring my dog here to jog and he loves it. There is a cute little lake in the middle and a lot of dogs in the am or pm. The only negative thing about this place is the geese poop on the ground. It's everywhere and I step on it all the time. Other than that it's a nice place to read a book or just relax. They also have bathrooms to use Incase of an emergency. I think my dog loves this place more than me.

    Magical bliss

    Great park for dogs! Lots of them. Entertaining turtles lerk the merky waters, along with gooses and crayfish. Good date spot for a Bottle of wine and a blanket. Oh and I almost forgot mr.softee is always here

    Beautiful Sunday reading in park.

    I grew up two blocks away from Bowne Park. A large part of my childhood has been spent passing time in this very charming neighborhood park. I have passed this tradition onto my children since they were babies. Its a relatively small park but charming as could be. Its a local, family friendly venue. Often in the morning you will see groups of people practicing Tai Chi, running, stretching and biking. There is a bocci ball court as well that is fun to watch or play, if you dare. Warning: the players take it very serious. I suspect there is incentive there! There is a small pond there loaded with geese and turtles which children get a kick out of feeding. Poor overfed creatures.. A full basketball court, swings, some beautiful weeping willows (my all time favorite tree) . Of course, park benches and it is dog friendly. A jewel of a park in the heart of Flushing. A lovely place to visit for a good time to be had by all.

    Bowne Park is a great local spot but not something you'd come out of your way for. It pops up in the middle of a residential neighborhood and is rather small. There's a lake, a playground, bocce ball court, and some basketball and handball courts but that's it. Though they do hold a lot of fun events for children, a fair or two, and I've also seen the North Shore adoption van stop by in the past. I spent a lot of time here growing up and while I have a soft spot for it, and the community really gets a lot out of it, it's not a destination unless you happen to be here already.

    Great place to chill and watch the duck's, geese and turtle's, place some basketball, bocce or climb the Monkey bars.

    I sometimes run around the park. Very busy park with ducks,geese,turtle's and the occasional cormorant and snowy egret.

    An extensive playground for kids, a great, full-court basketball area, and two bocce courts that seem to keep dozens of men occupied for hours on end.

You'll be surprised till you see the water view coming from the hill. It has good views of Whitestone bridge, Manhattan skyline and La Guardia airport. Definite worth coming.

Honestly, unless they live here, I don't know of any people going to College Point unless it is to the big box stores on 20th Ave. I get it, you either need to bus it or drive here since there is no train/subway access. The streets are narrow and the buses are wide making it even more intimidating to venture north in Queens, which is a shame because this area is lovely with its waterfront park. The view has "the city" off into the distance, Rikers island and LaGuardia airport with its low flying planes a bit closer and you may be able to steal a glimpse of the Whitestone bridge, but nearby Powell Cove's park may be better spot for that. The park was under construction in some parts so sections were closed off, but there are nice grassy areas. Benches line the waterfront and walkways that trace it making for a nice spot to chat with a friend providing they aren't suffering from springtime allergies that is - lots of pent up pollen in them trees! A couple of pro-tips: parking is street nearby and probably not the best smelling waterfront at low tide.

The trail itself is a mix of dirt paths and paved sections, with enough tree cover to make it comfortable even on a warmer day. The loop isn't overly strenuous, but it gives you a good walk--perfect for clearing your head or getting in some low-impact cardio. I appreciated how clean and well-maintained everything was, and it felt safe, even solo. You'll pass a mix of joggers, dog walkers, and families, but it never felt crowded. There aren't many elevation changes, so don't expect a hike, but for a refreshing, straightforward walk with nature and fresh air, this loop is a win.
