My husband and I went on August 6, 2023 for the Hip Hop 50th Anniversary block party. It was a free event sponsored by Adidas, and we were get free hot dogs and drinks, which we enjoyed. It's a little scary going to the park from Queensboro Plaza Station, but during the day it was no problem and the view was nice.
Very nice park with beautiful views of Manhattan. On the last day of our week in New York City, we bought lunch at a local deli, then came here to enjoy our meal. Sat on a park bench and enjoyed the view. Weather was beautiful.
Cute park with a nice view of Roosevelt Island and the city beyond that. Definitely saw bathrooms, but didn’t use them. It’s packed with people having big parties, illegally grilling out and having fun.
We had a lovely walk after dinner during sunset and enjoyed some time on a bench.
Not the cleanest park. It need more garbage bins and people need to be more responsible. It’s gross to have garbage everywhere especially leftover food out under benches and overflowing bins for rats.

Amazing, one of my favorite parks, the view to the city and part of Roosevelt island
Great place for local soccer players and children learning. Several fishing. Dog friendly. Playground looking busy. Obvious Views of Manhattan skyline. Public grills available first come first save. Just go !
The Park has a stunning view of the moon, skyscrapers and skyline, but it lacks proper maintenance from District 1. The Queen's Park requires more attention from the district for better.
Attractive to a diverse group of locals, all of whom are typically friendly. The river-side setting of this outdoor space makes it a lovely place to spend time in the city. However, the bathroom access can be a nuisance, as they're sometimes locked, but when available they're usually well-maintained. The water fountains are operational when the weather permits upkeep.

I have visited Queensbridge Park in Long Island City multiple times, and each visit has been a delightful experience. The 20.34-acre park, nestled along the East River, serves as a verdant urban oasis, providing a tranquil retreat amid the bustling cityscape.
The park's location, named after the nearby Queensboro Bridge, is convenient and affords spectacular views of the city skyline that make for gorgeous photo opportunities. On several occasions, I've enjoyed walking along the riverfront promenade, capturing the city's beauty and the candid moments of people I know against such a stunning backdrop.
But the park is more than just a scenic spot. It's a vibrant hub of community activity, serving as a primary place of recreation for residents of the Queensbridge Houses and beyond. The diversity of its amenities, including baseball diamonds, running paths, and picnic areas, make it a go-to place for individuals and families alike. Whether you're an athlete, a casual walker, or someone seeking a quiet spot to enjoy a book, Queensbridge Park has something for everyone.
One of the park's standout features is its decadent summertime live concert series. The pulsating rhythm of music under the open sky, coupled with the crowd's enthusiasm, creates an electric atmosphere that's hard to forget. I've enjoyed various performances, with music ranging from R&B to Latin, bringing the garden to life.
The Queensbridge Little League finds its home here, fostering community and sportsmanship among the youngsters. Seeing these budding athletes play and grow in the park's welcoming environment is heartwarming.
What's more, the cleanliness and upkeep of the park, including its public bathrooms, are impressive. It is clear that the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, which has operated the park since it was acquired by the city government in 1939, takes great pride in maintaining this public space for all to enjoy.
Queensbridge Park is more than just a park. It's a community hub, a concert venue, a sports field, and a scenic vista all rolled into one. It's a testament to the spirit of Queens and a jewel in the crown of Long Island City. I highly recommend a visit to anyone seeking a slice of urban tranquility amidst the concrete jungle of NYC.
