    There is just no way you can literally miss this small stretch of a park. It's been here forever and now it's even more prettier with the flowers and signs posted up that it is MacDonald Park. Now, you got me craving for some McDonald's Fries and shakes. For anyone driving there are meters lined up right by the park on Queens Blvd. They are 3 hour meters. Short walk from the MTA Subway *E, F, M and R train Forest Hills-71 Avenue Benches all around the park where you can sit and take a break. Park is nicely maintained and relatively clean.

    A small oasis located in Forest Hills with ample seating with some green power. It was here on a beautiful Saturday afternoon with fellow poet/writer and Yelper, Angel R., we catch up and talked. Park is clean and shadows a mini version look of Central Park's "The Mall" or "Literary Walk" as the walkway path is similar. In stillness at the moment of calm we were able to reinforce our friendship in moral support and sincerity. With a inner calm I was able to achieve inner peace and maintain wholeness to cultivate the way. It contains three circular plazas, plenty of trees and benches. This city park is bounded by Queens Boulevard, Yellowstone Boulevard and 71st Road. It is adjacent to Forest Hills' Post Office and walking distance from E, F, M, R- Forest Hills 71st Continental Avenue subway station. Named after Captain Gerald MacDonald (1882-1929), a World War I soldier and former resident of Forest Hills.

    This is a really small park in the Austin St/Continental Ave area. It's really unique in the way it is set up which is basically an island that runs along Queens Blvd. There are chess tables which you will see pretty busy during the day when the weather is nice. There are plenty of other benches to sit and enjoy this small patch of nature.

    I started coming to Cunningham Park in 2021 but never thought to share my experience, why? Well,…read morebefore I became an Elite, I thought yelping was just about restaurant. So visiting the park today I found it to really chilly and active with a good amount of parkgoers. Cunningham Park in 1934, the space has developed into headquarters for countless athletic leagues, animals, playmates, and barbecue enthusiasts. Cunningham Park got it's name in 1934, this park has developed into a headquarters for countless athletic leagues, animals, playmates, and barbecue enthusiasts. I had a BBQ here once I had to get here early and they is information on when you need to reserve a spot. I see that they installed EV charging units with solar panels. This is an upgrade because Electric Vehicles weren't able to get a charge before. Believe it or not, this place provides opportunities for kite flyers, if I'm not mistaken, I may have flew one here once. The bathroom were decent but people over packed the trash cans around the track which is very unattractive but hey, it takes Every Kinda People, to make this world go around, Robert Palmer said that, I didn't. Just another opportunity to ... Inspire more, Yelp more!

    Cunningham Park is a hidden gem for a solid, peaceful walk without having to leave the city. I took…read morethe Cunningham Loop via the AllTrails app, and it was exactly what I needed--manageable, scenic, and well-marked. 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.
