Kissena Corridor Park is a long stretch of green space that continues from Flushing Meadows-Corona…read morePark & Queens Botanical Garden that blends right into Cunningham Park. The park stretches for almost 3 miles from Main St to Frances Lewis Blvd with its widest part between its namesake Kissena Blvd and 164th St to its narrowest part at Utopia Pkwy. Most of the park is accessible, but there are some wild parts with dense foliage, fallen trees and marshland, better suited for wildlife. The park also encompasses the Kissena Park Golf Course, which is fenced off. If you want to hike the entire length of the park, you can hike along the northern perimeter of the golf course. The golf course is public with greens fees around $30. You'll see golfers there in all types of weather except when it's snow covered. The course entrance is on Booth Memorial, east of 164th St. There are many playgrounds sprinkled along the whole stretch with jungle gyms, monkey bars & slides, along with tennis, basketball & handball courts and softball, baseball & cricket fields. You can generally play sports in the fields if nobody is there, but if you're an organized team, it's best to get a scheduled permit from NYC Parks & Recreation. Also hidden inside the park are many memorials along paved and unpaved walking trails and a surprise velodrome and a lake with plenty of waterfowl.

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.

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

This park used to be called Pebblestone Triangle and one day about fifteen years ago it was fenced…read morein. Not by pretty fences, there are few pretty fences but by the construction KEEP OUT kind. The tall stone seating area with the little hiding spots were cool as a kid playing ringalevio. I also torched some thrown away Christmas trees there too. Probably not a good idea but I was a troubled youth and butane was super cheap. When the fences came down, a new more modern park appeared, it was wide open and there were new benches and a water fountain. The elderly but spunky old gentleman that lived in the big house across the street, just northwest used to drag his garden hose across the street a few times a week, his name was Ian. I didn't know that, I just knew him as the man with the hose that was on a mission. A mission of beautification and conservation and today his hard work is memorialized by the renaming and a sign that bears his name too.
