Gantry Plaza State Park

Always a gem. Lots of people, some masks, but everyone keeps their distance

Nice place, and over crowded in holiday season

The views are superb. You can make excellent pictures with a background of city building including united nations building and Queens borough bridge.nI visited that place before dusk at golden hour and everything was drenched in beautiful pale and golden light of sun.nThere are wooden chairs and benches to sit and enjoy the view.nI found parking one block away on a meter.nEntery to this park is free.nThere is a beautiful Queens library near park's entrance. Overall a superb place to visit and hang around.

Such nice views of the manhattan skyline. I got many photo ops after sunset. After seeing the sun go down and the lights go on you just cant help but take so many pictures. Didn't see that orange yellow sunset i wanted to see but nonetheless a great day to go anyways. I think coming here at anytime of the day is good too. There are also many benches and places to sit. Looks dog friendly saw many dogs walking there owners. Saw only 2 water fountains that the water doesn't look good to drink, too white and not clear enough.

Awesome park, old railroad grounds with lots of history. The recent renovations have made it even more friendly to the public. Parking is tight so if driving expect to spend some time circling for a bit, but it’s worth it
