Open green space and recreational amenities await in Astoria Park

Recreation Riverfront Scenic Wooded Historic

New York City isn’t typically known for its beautiful open land, but in Queens, you’ll discover a park that stands as one of the largest open spaces in the bustling borough of Queens. Astoria Park boasts lush lawns, tennis courts, towering trees, a jogging track, basketball courts, playgrounds, and more.

This spacious green area houses New York City’s oldest and largest outdoor swimming pool, stretching over 54,000 square feet. In fact, this historically large pool was used in the Summer Olympics during the 20th century. The pool is the best place to be during the summer months if you live in surrounding neighborhoods.

Situated along the East River with scenic views of the Triborough Bridge (also known as the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge) and the Hell Gate Bridge, Astoria Park is surrounded by picturesque single-family homes and quaint brick apartment buildings. This family-friendly area offers the best recreational amenities of any neighborhood in Queens, so explore what rentals are available today.
