Park Provides New Community Space and Recreational Amenities Adjacent to the Kosciuszko Bridge
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the completion of a $17.8 million project to construct Maspeth Park, the first park to be built in the western portion of Maspeth in Queens. The park, completed on schedule, is located within walking distance from surrounding residential neighborhoods, including Sunnyside and West Maspeth. The park includes numerous benefits for visitors to enjoy, such as a recreational area comprised of game tables, picnic tables, a basketball court, and adult fitness equipment. A new world-class skate plaza, designed for all skill levels, has also been constructed. The plaza provides professional sports lighting so that events can be held after dark. The basketball court will also serve as a multi-purpose venue with nighttime lighting and bleacher seating. Events will be held throughout the year and run by New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The park was built on nearly one acre of underdeveloped land that was previously used by the state as a staging area during the construction of the new Kosciuszko Bridge, which was completed in 2019. The park is located adjacent to the Kosciuszko Bridge at the intersection of 43

It’s walking distance from a few warehouses and a cemetery.
And in no time it will look like shit, like everything else in this rotten city. This is what happens when you turn a thriving city into a third world shithole. Maspeth at one time was a small town in the big city, a great place to live and raise a family. Everyone knew everyone on the block, cleaned the sidewalk and street in front of their house and cared for each other. Now it's absentee landlords and third world filthy tenant's, who move in pay rent for a couple of months and stop paying rent until the landlords evict them. Unregistered cars with paper and out of state plates. What a shame.
"43"? What's that?
More green stuff. Why wasn’t this converted into more free car storage?
@ #2 I cannot agree with you more.
"The basketball court will also serve as a multi-purpose venue with nighttime lighting"
Night basketball is back! Remember when that was going to solve all our crime problems back in the 90s? It was an early version of woke stupidity, and naturally it didn't do a thing, but hard police crackdowns and broken-windows policing DID "take a bite out of crime". And then we gave that all up for reasons. So white liberals could feel good about themselves, while Liberals-of-color didn't want their friends and family going to jail so much no more.
@"Maspeth at one time was a small town in the big city"
Maspeth was really a beautiful place way back then. Unfortunately, in 1609 Henry Hudson happened upon New York, and it was all downhill from then on.
@"More green stuff. Why wasn’t this converted into more free car storage?"
I'm outraged and feel so victimized. Car owners are so discriminated against.
@"1609 Henry Hudson happened"
Troll you need to have credibility in order to lose it. Now get lost.
Public space for public, Hahaha yea right
Disaster, teenage babysitting service/thug tank is more like it.
It will become a hangout for homeless illegals, squatters on old boats, RVs, prostitution, lousy dog owners, and worst of all: Basketball &n hip-hop "inner city youths"
None of the locals will feel safe to use it unless they CCW, get hit with rocks and bricks. We all seen the revenge videos of thugs attacking a Maspeth home and its owner for calling the cops on them. The police do nothing when the youths and criminals are of "color" or look like illegals.
Is this in the useless understaffed 104 pct district?
If so good luck with this go called great "upgrade" Maspeth. I cant believe how many people continue to be spoon-fed shit and believe its a meal.
