Alley Pond Park Union Turnpike, Queens, NY 11364

"Perfect place to go for a walk, or even to walk your dog! Coming back here again for picnic in spring :)"

"5 Star Dense FALL Color on Leaves. Take an opportunity to explore ALLEY Pond Park & Oakland Lake right off Springfield Avenue & 47th Aven entrance from Northern BLVD. If your in the neighborhood. Four Seasons is what I LOVE about New York. Walked briefly around this small hidden lake wonder, surrounded by Fall trees. The dense tree cover helps one feel tucked away in Nature among dense Fall leaf colored trees. As your walking around Oakland Lake .6 mile paved pathway around lake, you can also dip away for a closer view of the lake, off beaten path. I'm so fufilled at having a chance this morning recharge in Nature. Who knew this beautiful public space in nature existed in NYC- Queens Burough. Been such a chaotic working, a nice break squeeze in. Be on the look out for water fowl, Swans, geese, ducks, and heron. Enjoy!"

"Enjoyed a great Sunday in the park, and we spent almost 3 hours on the free adventure program. (Need to be there before 1pm to register for this Sunday program). There are plenty of BBQ, picnic areas, and places for kids to run around."

"Took a walk there on a Sunday morning. Park is relatively clean. The way to hiking is not that hard to walk. The playground is spacious. Restrooms are ok. The park is dog friendly. The place is also great for family picnic."

"Great park with lots of BBQ areas for You to bring your own bbq equipment. I recommend this park. However, I love lakes so Oakland lake is nice too"
