Hermon A. MacNeil Park

Poppenhusen Ave. bet. 115 St. and College Pl.

Queens

This large park, named for prominent sculptor Hermon A. MacNeil, is located at the point in College Point, Queens. From this quiet hidden gem in a residential neighborhood, you can run, walk, or bike along the promenade, or sit and watch planes fly low overhead on their way to or from the nearby La Guardia Airport. A boat launch in the park lets residents paddle out to College Point Reef and explore the East River and Flushing Bay. Locals also enjoy the old-growth trees and shady pathways, the softball field, and the children's playground located mid-park.
