Been going to Charles park for over 30 years. Very peaceful serene and clean. Basketball courts tennis courts and of course to water Jamaica Bay.

Nice park. Beautiful walk way. Needs lot of repair and clean up. Children's park is not good at all. Broken jungle gym not good for children. Schumer forgot about Charles Park!

One of the best parks around this particular neighborhood. It offers a lil bit of everything starting from basketball court, playground and a public tennis court which is a rare find in this area. If that's not enough you can always take a walk or jog alongside the water.

Nice park. The only thing is the children play ground is really in bad condition. A lot of swings mats needs to be replace. I will never bring my child to that playground unless it is repaired.

Vern nice place to chill.used to love going there when i used to live in the Rockaways. The people who go there for fishing purposes doesn't have any regards for the environment which is a shame.

The tennis courts were okay, but the basketball courts and every other field or court was great.

Great family park to go to. If you a lover of planes you can see them take off. Good place to walk the dog and exercise.

Gave this place one star because it's a park. Dirty, ball fields aren't fit to be played on, one field has been turned into a dog park, broken glass, broken fences, dead trees.

Somewhat quiet. Not packed full of people. Nice kids playground. There's a beach connected to the park so you can dip your feet maybe even go for a swim. Close to the airport so kids may love to see the planes taking off.

A safe place to exercise, play, walk the dog, catch some rays, meditate and listen to the sea. A beautiful and pristine gift from nature. Nature only asks to pitch in to keep it clean and beautiful. A variety of religious festivities have been polluting the beaches. Please enjoy the beauty but pick up after yourself. God and Nature thanks you.

Great local place to lay in the sun, watch the boats or hang out w your best furry friend. Negative - needs to be cleaner! (because of the human mess left behind)
