Located right next to the famous Queensboro Bridge, from which it appropriately draws its name, the Queens Bridge Park is as popular with the local youth for its gamut of facilities as the gamut of concerts that it hosts all through the year.
Here, budding baseball enthusiasts can hone their skills at the well-maintained fields, while football aficionados will undoubtedly delight in the vast soccer-football combination field. Summertime sees the volleyball and handball courts bounce into activity, while NBA fans can slam dunks in the well-lit court.
The Queens Bridge Park also welcomes families looking for a day of sunshine and relaxation with its picnic areas. Nature lovers can embark on a journey of discovery down the winding nature trails, while children can splash away in the pint-sized wading pond, get adventurous with the jungle gyms, see-saws and swings or simply gambol in the lush green lawns. Fitness enthusiasts can also choose to jog their worries away at the running tracks, while those looking for a quiet getaway from the mayhem typical to city life can simply tarry awhile on the park benches, accompanied by nature at her most serene.
And if that isn't variety enough, the park is also a venue for an eclectic array of concerts, featuring the talent of most established and up and coming bands. With genres that range from R&B to Latin, you're sure to find something that suits your tastes and interests like none other at Queens Bridge Park.
