So I'm starting out by praising the park as a concert venue to make up for my gripes about Central Park and PNC Bank Arts Center. I enjoyed the free De La Soul show here, which had good sound quality and a pleasant setup where you could opt for a close-up viewing of Eye Know and Me Myself and I or just roam around and still hear it. I wish I remembered who had the Yelp reviews that mostly focused on bathrooms, but park regulars know about the bathroom sort of near the LIRR train. It's not as glamorous or as clean as Bryant Park but it's mostly ok and open later than one might expect. The park isn't offering a wilderness facsimile like parts of Prospect Park but you can see birds and there are nice plants. The Unisphere is legendary.

    Perfect park that is within walking distance from both Main Street and Mets willets points station…read more This park hosts yearly events like the queens night market and the US open tournaments. There is always something to do year round. In the winter months, most people decide to venture to the aquatic center/skate rink or the Al Oeter Rec center. There is also a museum inside this park that showcases Queens art. Whether it's for a morning stroll or a picnic, this park has the space for anyone and everyone.

I particularly enjoy running through the waterfront to soak up the beautiful views. The scenery makes the run a little easier. You will also catch amazing sunsets. There is plenty to do here as well: playground, a soccer field, a running track, a skate park, and courts for tennis and basketball. Come by in the evening and the park is alive. Runners, rollerbladers, bikers, skaters all sharing the paths. It's a vibrant scene!

    If you want to know the truth, I hate reviewing public places, but Astoria Park actually isn't as…read moreboring as most public parks in New York. ​It's sitting right on the East River, and you've got these two massive bridges, the Hell Gate and the RFK, looming right over you like giant iron monsters. The Hell Gate, with its big red steel arch, actually looks damn impressive, especially when the light hits it right around sunset. This park just kind of sits there letting the water run by and wether walking by or just sitting down, its an impressive and calming place with the right person on a midsummer night. ​You walk along the concrete promenade by the railing and you see all kinds of people. Couples taking pictures, kids yelling, guys sitting on benches thinking about whatever. It's got these giant green lawns where people just lay around. I hear that there's this massive outdoor pool that gets completely jammed in the summer, but I've never been nor do i intend to. ​It's just grass, trees, a breeze off the water, and trains occasionally rumbling over the bridge high above your head. It kills me how peaceful it can get right under all that heavy machinery. If you have to be around people in Queens, this is probably one of the least depressing places to do it. It really is.

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 park is dominated by several basketball courts, ones of which look to be converted from old tennis courts. On the far end there is handball and mini games of soccer between groups of children. Then on the other side is a literal playground for kids and tots who are still learning how to play with other kids or even perhaps walk. It's a nice spot to sit down and people watch. Youth is a wonderful thing and its nice to see the youth of Queens enjoying themselves in the summer heat.

I'm so glad this park did not take away the six handball courts as they did with the two at Travers Park. Beware: I've witness a few of the usual stingy regulars that would hijack all of the picnic tables for hours on end for their own party. They would be rude to the workers when they raise the issue on cleanliness. Moving along, there's plenty of benches and not a lot of shade during those blazing summer hours playing basketball. Overall, this park is nicely maintained and stay friendly.
