Known forqueensworld's fairiconicmulticultural
Queens' grand civic park built for the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs, home to the iconic Unisphere, the Queens Museum, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, and Citi Field next door. It's a sprawling, multicultural park where you'll find families grilling, soccer leagues, and model-boat enthusiasts on the lake all at once — a true cross-section of Queens. The park is enormous and some areas feel underutilized or worn, but the World's Fair remnants give it a unique, slightly surreal atmosphere.
