As you can see in the images below, Bowne Park has a new pond! It’s a good thing as the old one is a neglected, decayed disaster area. The stone facing on the interior walls has continued to break into the pond, probably crushing hundreds of turtles. There are numerous pieces of junk in the pond, including several garbage pails (metal and plastic) and a chair from the bocce court, which should never have been allowed in the park to begin with! Bowne Park should not be a drop-off site for the goombahs’ shitty, broke-down, plastic outdoor furniture. The DOS should cart it off immediately!
The entire park has a forlorn, neglected feel – much like the rest of Queens!"

They should build a small area with fitness apparatus e.g a pull up bar a dip bar and sit up station in that exact section of the park.
This is a very serious question, how would one go about having that apparatus built ? Local Councilman ?
Great. Another place for local idiots to hang out.
Two bocce courts where the dim-witted senior mafia wannabe's congregate and bring their refuse to litter the park.
A playground which in the evenings attracts drunken minors who try their damnedest to break swings and slides so the little ones can injure themselves.
A basketball court which attracts the low brow denizens of other neighborhoods who can't string together two thoughts without becoming apoplectic.
And now someone want's to do pull ups, sit ups and dips in the middle of the park.
Dips? It seems the park is full of them already.
Here we go again.
Let's make a mountain out of a molehill.
The current pond is NOT a disaster. It's not in pristine condition as if it were in a chateau in france, but it's holding up pretty well. Should we blame mother nature for the pond formed because of the rain?
Should we spend $500k on a better drainage because when it rains really hard 5 times a year, this "pond" forms? Come on. Who is this guy always bashing the park. it's one of the better maintained parks in the neighborhood.
Instead of more equipment the park needs more trees, and not the half dead ones that the parks department insists on planting.
Also, the park used to have a 'parky' who made sure the place was clean and maintenance was performed. We need a another one. We also need more trash receptacles. I see people with ice cream wrappers and cups and water bottles who cannot find a bin to put them is so they toss it.
Lewandowski should be hounded until we get the park service we pay our high taxes for.
the same ponding happens at Golden Park in Bayside, with the ducks having a ball sometimes.although the sidewalks are filled with mud , so that one cannot walk there. heavy rain will do this . have you ever heard of "MOTHER NATURE"?
some of the stones are protruding from thae sidewalk areas. very dangerous ,should one miss them. could cause serious leg injuries to elderly exercizing.
SUN WILL DRY THE PONDING....BE PATIENT....
I blame it on Global Warming !
Say it with me
ground water
If the water table rises enough, it comes to the surface.
Either that or the soil has a very clayey layer that slows infiltration.
Everyone resident who visits the park should just help out a little by picking up garbage and throwing it in the trash. Keep on the parks department for maintenance of the trees. But once the spring/ summer comes the park will look more appealing.
What about the pond that is created on the Van Wyck next to Flushing Meadows Lake every time it rains?
