And the trails were lined with beautiful tall trees providing gorgeous shade. For parking, there's a huge lot behind the carousel on the other side of Woodhaven Boulevard, and it's a quick, easy walk to the park entrance down a gentle slope. The trails are not wheelchair accessible but Forest Park Drive is. I'm grateful for the maintenance of this green space.

This park has been a favorite of my kids since they were toddlers. It's completely fenced in and…read morethats great because the Conduit runs along side it and the traffic is pretty heavy. A bit noisy and since its neighboring JFK airport there's the added airplane noises. Kids don't seem to mind or care for that matter. During hot months it's a heat buster heaven with the giant frog sprinklers blasting. Most areas are shaded by trees and wind is always blowing here. Lots of benches around and some tables with chairs. Basketball court and handball courts are at one end. Major downside here however is that there's no bathroom. The location serves as more like a backyard playground to many of the homes that are across the street . Still not a good excuse to not have a bathroom. There's no direct parking spots right outside the park either. Its the kind of location that you would probably drive by and then wonder how to get into the park but by that time you've already passed it. So the tip is to drive down Lefferts Blvd a block or 2 and find parking on one of the side streets to the left or right . Then walk back to the park. (Be careful crossing- it's the Conduit after all,but there is a crosswalk) If you're ever flight delayed this is a good park to come with little ones to kill time and burn off some energy. Its a quick walk over from the Long Term Parking area at JFK. You'll see lots of airline workers who live close by walking to work.

The park has a nice shaded area and a decent amount of threes that makes for some real nice scenery. This park is good for after school, or just chilling out on the benches enjoying some music. I go through this park on a regular basis it is about less than a block away from the jfk airport .and the jfk airtrain is right there also .and if you are interested in long term parking it is also there. I will definitely go back there in the future

I will definitely go back to this place in the future

Birds perch and sing their sweet music all year round, above all others, this is the park I feel closer to nature although at a very busy intersection.

Maurice A. Fitzgerald Playground is a good playground where I've ventured here as a toddler to…read morepreteen in my youth years. This NYC outdoor playground is equipped with basketball courts, children swings, handball courts; spray showers; and non working water foundations yet with working facilities. There were an abundant of adult swings in the 1980s, but unfortunately these have been eradicated for the an increase of basketball and hand ball courts in the 1990s. Benches are available, but not a gargantuan quantity. After school hours is this park's peak time usage. N.B. Parents be vigilant as this park resides on Atlantic Avenue (the sister version of Queens Boulevard-- "Boulevard of Death"). I would not recommend dogs to take their walk at Maurice A. Fitzgerald Playground for the nonexistent natural grass and no trees. It's a playground, not a park.

The climbing areas can be challenging and perfect for active children and teens, while the smaller slides are ideal for smaller kids and toddlers. Those two areas are distinct from each other, which seems like a nice touch to prevent inadvertent collisions. Plenty of swings and a nearby restroom make it even more of an ideal playground than most. But the greatest feature is the water park. Sure, it's a simple element where you have large sprinklers to cool off on hot summer days, but it's such a treat ... and usually the most popular part of the fun, at least until the ice-cream truck arrives!

Our team of five used to be a force to play against, all who had played organized ball, myself the weakest offensive link at the power forward position. (But I could really crash the boards) The rims were so tight here, actual lines painted upon the blacktop, top of the key, etc. I loved hooping it up here and marvelled at the cleanliness, the young families coming out with their little ones, older folks chatting in the mid-day sun. And the chugga chugga turning of the LIRR train wheels.. Very NYC!

There's still other ways to get in that have no gates. But it's a start. Hopefully they can fix this by next year. The playground and swing sets are in good condition. The restroom is fairly clean for a public park restroom. I've seen far worse. I have a few complaints about this park. The honking from the traffic. There should be a no honk sign in this residential section of Austin St. Nearly every car and especially during rush hour, everybody honks at the stop sign intersection. The LIRR is already disturbing enough, add honking from impatient motorist just makes things ten times worse. I also often witness road rage in front of the park. It's a one lane, one way street towards Ascan Ave and whenever one person is parallel parking, everyone behind goes bonkers and often leading to verbal outrage. My second complaint would be the crosswalk, again, because of the traffic and idiotic drivers, there should be more signs to yeild to pedestrians and perhaps a blinking yellow light to alert motorist. My third complaint is the cleanliness of the park. The parks department does a awful job at maintaining the park. The staff often stands around fiddling with their phones while letting their leaf blower idle at low power. The gas fumes from their leaf blower stink and they do it right next to the children. They do the worse job sweeping the leaves and branches and they barely ever pickup any trash unless it is reported to 311. The park inspector that comes to inspect the playground equipment has the laziest job of all. He or she just walks around the park for a few minutes and leaves. Makes zero note of the filth and unattended litter. My last and final complaint are most of the fathers in this park. They're dicks. Super unfriendly and rude. They behave like children with their dickish tough guy attitude. A majority of the mothers, caretakers, babysitters, and grandmothers who bring their children to this park are fine. Pretty much all the females are the nicer ones here. They're very much polite and respectful of other people's belongings and when encountering with other people's children. I can't say the same about the fathers here. They act like everything belongs to them, they never ask or start with a greeting. Verdict - if you live in this section of Forest Hills, this is probably you're nearest public park. The other would probably be Forest Park. This one isn't bad but just be prepared when you come across a father who wants a dick measuring contest. The park itself is great. Plenty of ground for kids to run around, the basketball courts and handball courts are often empty. It's mostly young children, it's not a teenager hangout spot or for punks who smoke pot in the playground among children. It's a safe park and I highly recommend it despite the noise, poor park maintenance from the parks department, and the a-hole fathers.
