    Ridgewood Reservoir use to be a freshwater wetland on the border between Brooklyn and Queens. What…read moreis now the upper area of Highland Park. I either go for a walk or run along the trailway all the time. Just recently after doing some research the 3rd basin used to be Ridgewood Reservoir until 1989 when the reservoir was drained out. One of the many fascinating history of this once Reservoir. There use to be a waterfall. At a certain distance while walking on the trail way you get to see portions of the abandoned and once waterfall. At first you would assume it was used as stairs to get to somewhere down, but nothing like it. I could only image the view. Another fascinating history behind the Ridgewood Reservoir, there used to be a keepers house and guest house. Only a small part of that house remains while the other part is long gone. Not sure if people while out running or just taking a stroll notices these tiny historical fragments distance away. Ridgewood Reservoir is very peaceful, quiet, and very well preserved naturally. If you are the walker type it can take you about 20 minutes to walk Ridgewood Reservoir. For those bike or running enthusiasts less.

    One of my good friends who lives in East New York recently told me about this magical place just a…read morefew months ago. While visiting my folks the other day in Fresh Meadows, I decided to bike to the Reservoir and see what all the hype was about. I have friends who live nearby and they are always telling me to visit. While visiting my parents the other day, I borrowed my dads old 79s Italian road bike and went for it. It was about about 8 miles but it was worth it. The reservoir is not to be confused with Highland Park though they are right near each other. If you've ever have noticed a bike path on the right hand side of the Jackie Robinson highway going east bound (nearby exit 2 or 3 perhaps), this it where that leads to. If you're biking like I was, there's a pretty decent amount of bike rack space on both sides of the water. The bike racks are also pretty publicly facing so seemed decently safe to me, as long as you have a decent or good lock. With by bike secured, I was able to walk around and take in the spectacular views of the water while enjoying the sounds of hundreds of singing birds, who too decided to spend the day relaxing by the reservoir. I couldn't help but forgot that I was still technically in New York City. Seriously, it felt like I was somewhere here on Long Island. The best part about this park, is that if you're adventurous, it turns out there are some really cool hidden paths all around. I found one that gave took to this unobstructed and extremely private view of the water. I had the entire one half of the park to myself. It was just me, my thoughts and nature. Bring some binoculars if you have any and go bird watching. I spotted some beautiful Red Robin's and blue jays. If you're ever out this way, I HIGHLY suggest you check this place out.

Two lanes and no shoulder lane in both directions means that any type of delay, being that an accident or roadwork, will result in traffic grinding to a halt. Independently of which direction you are driving, you will see accidents. Lots of them. Too many drivers oblivious of the dangers of driving fast in heavy traffic. Yesterday a car crashed and stopped sideways, cutting off Eastbound traffic on both lanes. Just this morning an accident on Exit 3 backed up Westbound traffic all the way to Van Wyck, Grand Central Exit 18 and beyond. That's about an 8 mile-long line of cars, folks! Along the way you will find enough auto body parts to open an auto body shop. Other interesting finds may include an abandoned couch left vertically on the right lane. The most scenic part of the drive may be Cypress Cemetery near Exit 3, where Jackie Robinson is buried. At the same time, Jackie Robinson Parkway gives the observant driver a window into New York City's wildlife: roadkill may include various mammals of different sizes, from cats, to raccoons, to other not clearly identifiable furry critters. Moreover, the lack of shoulder lane means that the carcasses will stay there for a long time, giving you the unique opportunity to observe the effect of decomposition on animal corpses over time[2].

I've…read morealways been fascinated by how this city's neighborhoods, streets, and transit developed; this park is an excellent reminder of days gone by. it's a simple park (just grass, trees, and a few benches), but named after a complex and interesting man. a New York City local boy who was, at various points in his life, a media mogul, a magician, a World War One artillery sergeant, a politician, and an important member of Queens' American Legion community. when I walked by last week, saw a few people sitting there, drinking coffee, reading the paper, just relaxing. it seems well maintained, though that could also be due to its location. a nice break from - and yet right in the middle of - the hustle and bustle of city life. posts with horse-heads on top, clutching rings in their mouths, appear all around the perimeter of this Triangle. Trotting Course Lane, as it turns out, dates back to the days of horse and carriage; it was eventually straightened and made into Woodhaven Boulevard for those magnificent men in their driving machines, but a remnant of the original Lane itself is still there as a residential street intersecting Woodhaven. sidenote: I spent a good ten minutes hunting down the information necessary for this review, methodically going through Google Maps, Forgotten NY, the NYC Parks Department, and FourSquare. technology is wonderful, ainnit?

This park served us, the wild but respectful teenagers of the area quite well for many years. My friend lived in the corner house off the Woodhaven side and many a hot summer night we would spill out onto the Triangle for a reprieve from the indoors. As I drive by now and peer over for a quick glance its great to see the upkeep continuing and improvments being made for the next group to enjoy. Although not a park for young children nor dogs as there is too many cars in constant motion on two sides, it sure is a nice late evening and/or early morning destination before the traffic brings the noise pollution.

You can reserve a tour online or walk in during business hours. Tours are free. Donations are accepted and they have a small gift shop area too. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and welcoming. He spoke of the family, their kids, famous guests and life in the time period. Some of the house has items from the time period and the other areas are for current exhibits. I stopped in on lunch break, but I'd like to go on again with more time to really capture the history.

Sitting in what is now known as Rufus King Park (#1), it faces Jamaica Ave sitting between 150th / 153rd Street. Built in the 1700s, it is one of the true relics of New York City and a landmark of the borough. This house museum is run by the King Manor Association, which has been in operation since 1900. (#2) Despite being recognized as a national historic landmark half a century ago, I find that many folks, even people who live in Jamaica, are generally unaware of the museum. It's undergone a lot of change over the centuries, which included a couple of fires that sustained enough damage to do a whole renovation of the home several times. Aside from tours, the house and the surrounding park have become destinations for community events. School tours and activities ranging from art and literacy are done here. Open from Monday-Saturday (but closed on Wednesdays and Sundays), the admission is free to enter. Walk-ins are a no-go but reservations can be made for small groups online.

Instead, they give an "augmented reality" audio tour which is kind of hit or miss. The house was preserved for the historical significance of the Townsend family, one of which was a spy for George Washington. I didn't feel there was a ton of information on the family though. Pointing their phone at the different objects in a room turned on audio about them, but only a couple of rooms in the actual house were interactive. The rest didn't have signs, and one loan employee was around to answer questions at the end. The exhibit in the visitor center was nice though. I just don't think the AR experience was really up to replacing a person, both in amount of information and the uncanny valley, unnerving portraits. There is street parking and a nearby lot that are free on weekends. The gift shop is minimal. It was an okay spot to visit, but I would recommend coming on Sunday or whenever they offer actual tours to get a more thorough understanding of the house and the history of the people who lived here.

That means that when you walk through the buildings, you scan the cell phone device on important paintings and artifacts and they talk to you with further information about who or what they are. The small building that contains the entrance is packed with paintings, dioramas, documents and artifacts. Next you walk to the main house, built in the 1730's, and housing the Townsend family. At the time of the Revolutionary War, Samuel had to make room for a British colonel. In spite of the fact that he sympathised with the patriots, he maintained good relations with his "Guest." At the time of the war, the house had eight rooms. One of his sons was one of the leaders of the Culpepper Spy Ring, Placing the home on the National Registry of Historic Places. Each room was elegantly decorated, with the exception of the space for the enslaved housekeeper. In spite of the fact that we didn't get a formal tour, the staff member tagged along with us and kept up a spirited conversation - even giving us a bonus look at the Victorian wing which doubled the size of the structure. The house is said to be haunted, of course. Very highly recommended. The full set of photos can be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/terryballard/albums/72177720323110655
