Baisley Pond Park — Attraction in New York

Such a beautiful 1 acre garden with a pond , great amount of amenities like many basketball courts , tennis courts, handball, and a baseball field. I came here for the second time in 20 years of living in this area.

I came for biking and found that the biking path is a bit bumpy for a road bike but decent . You could do a few laps here and get some exercise in.

I found a garden within the park called mother carter garden, read up on it and it was dedicated to a woman who served this park and made it what it is today

I wish we had more people like mother carter . The parks in Queens and the surrounding boroughs to Manhattan don’t receive the care and support they need to stay beautiful. There’s a heavy amount of foot traffic and not enough cleanup or maintenance services to compensate .

I pray for more mother carters who take care of the hearts of the city , which are these parks. There are many families who are moving out of the city to other places just because there are good parks where they can unwind and catch their breath after work or on the weekends.

My request to all who came here, please clean up after yourself, and let’s make this park as beautiful as it’s...

PROS: This park has always been special. There are a few different wildlife species that call this park home. Ducks, turtles, swans, fish frogs... Very nice place to have picnic, barbeque, family gathering, play sports, take photos, exercise or just sit and read. CONS: The water in the pond needs to be cleaned ever so often. Due to some peoples lack of care/love/respect for nature and their environment, they dump their garbage in the water. This garbage affects the wildlife that uses the water. Maybe if the parks department provided more garbage bins and posted signs to educate the people about the animals that share the park with them or possibly cameras, it would deter people from being so selfish and nasty. Also the tennis court, handball court and basketball court needs an upgrade. The bathroom facilities could use some...

How I have grown to enjoy this park. ⚘🌴🌹🌳🌹🌺 Its quite, peaceful, and a beautiful sight to behold. The people who live in this oasis👨‍👩‍👧 hopefully enjoy it as much as I love coming by to give my mind a breather. Love the greenery and view!! 😃😊😀 The greenery is everywhere and the trees look strong and stunning. The water always looks as if at peace but is never quite still. Maybe it's the lighting that gives one the majestic sense that we are far away from the daily duties imposed upon us 😅😆. It's a picture promising more from nature. I took as many pics of its beauty since I am quite sure that most of the pictures available for this site are taken during the day time. There are no trains here and the distance seems to be just out of reach of the sounds of airplanes and heavy traffic. Great...
