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.

The park offers plenty of green space and walking paths to explore. You can also visit the iconic Unisphere, a giant globe leftover from the 1960s New York World's Fair. We came here for a concert, the sound was surprisingly pretty good for such a massive open air venue.

During the summer evenings, we loved coming here to watch the sunset over the water. Huge lawn area where you can park your picnic blanket and throw a football or kick a soccer ball around. You can always get a handball court and you know those are hard to come by in nyc parks. Their 5 basketball court is alwaysssss busyyyyyyyyyyyyy. But ordinarily, it's welcoming. I meet people who tend to frequent this park from other neighborhoods. During the summer, friends of Francis Lewis do an awesome job setting up events like a summer concert etc. all year around as a matter of fact. They be hosting Halloween parties, block parties etc. This group is friendly, dedicated and awesome! They're always committed to gardening and cleaning the park. Very friendly group. Parking can be a bit of a pain, but if you're willing to walk, parking by the Whitestone expwy would be the way to go. Last but not least, I love watching the bocce players. They play a serious game. Not many parks have bocce, like spaghetti park, so this a gem.

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.

Plenty of street parking all around and a good park to chill out as well if the planes above are not your main reason to come here .4.5 stars on my yelp meter.

You can easily set up a picnic blanket, enjoy a nice simple summer evening with an ice, while watching the planes flying by for a landing at the beautifully renovated LaGuardia Airport. If you look closely enough at the sky, you would see a bunch of planes waiting for clearance to land. There's no shortage of planes landing and taking off over a magnificent sunset. Growing up in Qns with moments like this, doesn't get any nostalgic than that.

On a recent Sunday the entire park was a hub of activity and there was people in every corner, yet the park was big enough for all of us.
