Reviews
"Amazing spot to spend some quality time by yourself. Make sure to bring bug spray; otherwise, you’ll be a good source of food for the local mosquitoes, lol. If you have a light kayak or inflatable boat, it’s a great spot for that. There is no visible current, and the water is shallow good spot for personal kayak . However, it's not the best spot for fishing; you might catch some small keski fish using a hand net."
"Great views of Jamaica Bay and view of planes landing at JFK International Airport"
"First time I went there on thanksgiving day . It was such a nice weather to walk there. Quiet and full of things to discover."
"It is a great place to relax with the family. We go after work and school to watch the sun set"
