Astoria Park

Description

The 60-acre Astoria Park is located along the East River in the New York City borough of Queens. Although widely known for its beautiful pool, the oldest and largest in the city, Astoria Park offers more than aquatic pleasures. Outdoor tennis courts, a track, a bandstand, multiple trails, basketball courts, playgrounds and spectacular views lure visitors from the five boroughs and beyond. Resting on the edge of the East River between the Triborough Bridge and Hell Gate Bridge, the park offers shoreline sights and sounds that make the benches along its perimeter popular spots year-round.
