One of the most unique features of Queens is the canal of greenspace through its central environs. To the west is Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. To the east is Alley Park. Connecting the two is Kissena Park - along with its satellites: Kissena Corridor Park.

Kissena Park: A Rich Historic Destination in Queens

Kissena Park is a well-loved, 235-acre park in the eastern part of Queens. The park's history dates back to the 17th century when it was the home of Native Americans. In the 1900s, the park was named after the Kissena Corridor which houses the Kissena Boulevard and the Kissena Creek. It was later developed together with the adjacent Kissena Golf Course and opened to the public in the mid-1930s. Since then, the park has been a large, landscaped communal space that accommodates various activities such as cycling, playing sports, picnicking, and fishing. Moreover, with its stunning lake, landscape, and rich history, Kissena Park has become a popular destination for families, local flora and fauna, as well as visitors from out of town.
