Forest Av
What to say about Forest Av? Like a lot of people who rely on the subway for work, this station was instrumental in our decision to move to Ridgewood.
As far as subway stations go it is a good one. Small, simple layout and with ticket machines that always seem to be working. From the above ground platform you get a good view of Queens (and Brooklyn). It is beautiful on a clear morning.
Going into Manhattan in the morning is a crowded affair due to the amount of people who get on the train at the stop before (Fresh Pond).
Pro Tip: If going to the city, take the train in the opposite direction and get off at fresh pond and take from there. Although it is only one stop, it will help you get a seat during rush hour.
Overall, good station. The M line is one of the best trains in NYC.

Grover Cleveland Playground
Nice playground with a great view over parts of Manhattan. I like the combination of playground, dog park and cemetery. It makes it feel like a place for everyone.
The layout is not nice for relaxing on the grass. It is too small and too close to a big street.
