    Beautiful Park by JFK
    Royce L.

    A beautiful and unique park because of the proximity to the ocean. Huge Park that is surrounded by a walking trail. There are swings and an area of the kids to climb on the kiddie slides. Handball courts and basket ball courts too. There is also enough field space for at least 3 or 4 softball games at the same time. I've seen soccer games here as well. There are also tennis courts too. One side of the park is right off the water so there are small "patches" of beach. There are also picnic tables in that area as well. You can also watch the planes take off as JFK is that close.

    The area is still quite damaged from hurricane Sandy. The view is still serene and the conditions of the park couldn't diminish it if they tried. Super windy, I was almost blown away. It's a great place to fly a kite. In fact I saw a few in the air in the surrounding area during my brief visit. There's so many birds looking for a little nibble but there are signs saying that you shouldn't feed the wildlife.

    Perfection at sunset.

    Sunset here is beautiful honestly. Yes i took these pictures with a phone. Iphone. No they do not have a filter

    Lefferts Playground - Basketball courts are at the back

    This park has been a favorite of my kids since they were toddlers. It's completely fenced in and…read morethats great because the Conduit runs along side it and the traffic is pretty heavy. A bit noisy and since its neighboring JFK airport there's the added airplane noises. Kids don't seem to mind or care for that matter. During hot months it's a heat buster heaven with the giant frog sprinklers blasting. Most areas are shaded by trees and wind is always blowing here. Lots of benches around and some tables with chairs. Basketball court and handball courts are at one end. Major downside here however is that there's no bathroom. The location serves as more like a backyard playground to many of the homes that are across the street . Still not a good excuse to not have a bathroom. There's no direct parking spots right outside the park either. Its the kind of location that you would probably drive by and then wonder how to get into the park but by that time you've already passed it. So the tip is to drive down Lefferts Blvd a block or 2 and find parking on one of the side streets to the left or right . Then walk back to the park. (Be careful crossing- it's the Conduit after all,but there is a crosswalk) If you're ever flight delayed this is a good park to come with little ones to kill time and burn off some energy. Its a quick walk over from the Long Term Parking area at JFK. You'll see lots of airline workers who live close by walking to work.

    Such a Beautiful place ,A nice little decent park on lefferts blvd .that's has a nice sitting area…read moreto sit down and maybe to read or watch the kids play on the slides or monkey bars in they play ground area . The park has a nice shaded area and a decent amount of threes that makes for some real nice scenery. This park is good for after school, or just chilling out on the benches enjoying some music. I go through this park on a regular basis it is about less than a block away from the jfk airport .and the jfk airtrain is right there also .and if you are interested in long term parking it is also there. I will definitely go back there in the future
