This is one of the most Beautiful Parks/Campgrounds in New York City. As we speak, they are Continuously upgrading it to improve it even more. It is packed with fields where, in the Spring, Summer & Fall, you will always find a youth, or adult, game of Baseball, Soccer, Football, Softball or any European sport going on in any of the Beautiful fields. If you just want to Picnic or Fish, It is one of the most peaceful & Beautiful places to do it, towards the backend of the island where there are Grills, Picnic Tables and a chance to sit right next to the River, with just Rocks between you, and the River, for a Beautiful view of Queens & Manhattan. There you can just sit peacefully to read a book, listen to music, go fishing or just relax and watch the Yachts, Boats & small ships go by. If you are looking for a peaceful place to relax, or want to spend a nice time with Family, this is the place to do it. If you're driving, you have to pay a toll to get on to the island, but free to get off. If you are coming by public transport, you can take the #35 Bus at the corner of Lexington and 125th St. To the island and the bus is FREE. FYI-Bring your own Food & Drinks because there are no stores on the island. Also have your Camera ready for some nice memories. I hope that you'll enjoy your time at my favorite park/Campground.
