Hidden gem with a nice short 15-20 minute walk around the lake. Walk path is a bit narrow and shaded with trees.

Beautiful atmosphere, nice place for a walk but it seems like something has taken over the lake

Such a hidden gem in Oakland Gardens/Bayside. Lots of trees, beautiful scenery, lots of birds, swans, ducks and turtles. A great place for acwslk, jog or take the family!

This is my absolute favorite neighborhood park to go for either an early morning or evening stroll. Very calm, serene, relaxing atmosphere. Certainly a hidden Gem. Check out the beautiful pictures.

Beautiful tree adorned urban escape with a nicely paved path around a large pond. There are benches to admire the swans, ducks and turtles. No bathrooms, about 1/3 mile loop walk.

Busy but quiet. Paved path around the lake. It’s actually part of the Alley Pond Park. Except for some benches and fences, it’s mostly kept natural. Minimal interference with what happens naturally. People don’t feed the geese and swan like other places. You can fish (fresh water fishing license required, $25/year) but need to release the fish back to the lake. No bathroom.

Beautiful lake recently had a makeover the surrounding landscape and benches. Absolutely breathtaking view and great place to walk jog or just enjoy nature.
An oasis of beauty in NYC!

Peaceful and picturesque oasis in Bayside. Definitely worth a visit. You'll forget for a moment you're in New York City.

Got there before the storm hit and and left just before it started
had chance to get some very nice fall photos
colors were just about at peak, afraid the wind & rain will wash most of the foliage down/off, was quite worth while

A very pretty local park with a small lake. People come to walk or 'fish and release'. The lake attracts turtles, swans, geese and ducks. There is a. 6 mile trail around the lake which we walk twice to get a little exercise in while taking in the tranquil oasis.

Lots and lots of bugs at night but it’s cute place during the day. Bunch of different animals to see and it’s a small loop around a pond. Great place to come and just sit with a lot of benches
