This skate plaza was built for the Maloof money cup comp back in 2010. It was graciously offered to NYC after the competition and the city gratefully accepted. It was designed by Steve Rodriguez and built by "California Skateparks" The location of the park may be hard to find for some while entering the park from its many entrances. The skate plaza is located near the astral fountain, adjacent to the new York state pavilion. The surface is really nice and smooth concrete and there is no attendant. The park can be skated from dawn till dusk.. Park lights slightly illuminate the park just enough to continue skating after hours. You can expect all the regulars here. Scooters, Boarders, Bladers and Bikers all here at once making the best of it. Pot heads lighting up joints and blunts, kids tagging up all over the place and basically anything goes here. We value the woman with the empanadas that rolls through every couple of hours to feed and keep us hydrated. The Muscle Milk truck rolls through regularly and Redbull also shows up sometimes to give us free promotional drinks for advertising purposes which is really nice. I personally love this park and would defend it with my life... keep that in mind if you decide to desecrate the park in my presence. (talking to you F$@$heads who write your tag all over everything)

The much larger western side has all of the sports fields, courts, playgrounds, facilities, and plenty of seating areas. It's always busy no matter the weather or time of day, with everything from afterschool sports to dog meet-ups to people jogging. The main seating area (above the baseball fields) includes a 9/11 memorial, and on a clear day, you can get a view of the Empire State Building. The smaller eastern section is the quieter, "no active sports" area. It has more trees and a few benches, making it a peaceful spot to sit and relax. There is a walking path that circles and winds through the entirety of Juniper Valley. The outer path on the perimeter is about a mile and a half and makes for a great place to walk or run without having to dodge cars. It's also pretty scenic, with many beautiful brick homes lining the park.

For western bound, take exit 32 toward Bell Blvd. At the traffic light, turn right. This parcel was acquired in Septmber 1950. The plan was to develope the shoreline area. However, it didn't carry out due to the Throgs Neck Bridge construction and the fiscal crisis of the 1970s. And Parks renamed the property's present name in 1973, from Clearview Park. Bayside, originally inhabited by the Matinecock tribe, was granted to William Lawrence by King Charles I in 1644, spurring European settlement. It became part of Queens County in 1683. Most early records were lost in an 1780s fire linked to arson. During the Revolutionary War, Bayside supported the British and faced two failed Patriot raids. The arrival of the North Shore Railroad in 1866 brought rapid growth, attracting wealthy New Yorkers and actors. After the film industry moved to California in the 1920s, Bayside's economy relied on the Little Neck shellfish beds.

There we were, a former division 3 starter and a former high school JV back up point guard going head to head in spot ones, giving the Manhattan skyline that stood tall in the background a show to start the day. The infamous "Battle for the Brooklyn Bridge," as some pundits are calling it. We were on one of the five courts, and there I was playing my typical game dribbling the air out of the ball to get a struggle bucket. He was lowkey cooking me I can't even lie. His 3pt percentage from treball was odee shooting hesi hang pulls... I would never say this to his face but he is a wonderful person and a gifted basketball player... it's a shame he's 5'6. After the war of the behemoths, endorphins flowing from a good sweat, we just sat there taking in the sites and talking about how much we love the game. Basketball genuinely makes me feel like a little kid again. It gives me that pure happiness and sense of purpose that I have spent my adult life trying to replicate in something else.
