Came here first time for a free fishing clinic organized by NY Dept of Environmental Conservation…read more Baisley pond is located in the park. Easy parking. Parking lot holds about 20-30 cars. A high school is across the street. Fish species include carp, bass, bluegill etc. my kids got all bluegills. I saw another person got a small bass. Catch and release only. We also saw turtles, dragonflies, seagulls and ducks. It was relaxing to fish while admiring the scenery. One star off is because of overgrown of vegetation ( seaweeds). Our fish line got caught quite often. While it is nobody's fault and it is nature afterall, it takes away a small part of fishing experience.

The sound was good and there were two jumbo projectors that ensured the whole crowd can see what's going on. The park was very clean and orderly. Going through security was a breeze and no headaches. We were able to bring our own chairs and small cooler for water and drinks. It was crowded but the energy was amazing and respectful. I came for the last installment but I will definitely be back to this park if there is more to come.

While Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson may give himself a bad rep for his gangsta lyrics he sure knows how…read moreto give back to the Community. In a partnership with actress and Environmentalist Bette Midler, founder of New York Restoration Project the Baisley Park Community Garden was transformed into a complete safe space for the people of the Southside Jamaica Community. Flanked by the Baisley Houses and the LIRR(Long Island Railroad) Fiddy's garden is a sight to behold. Fully equipped with large funnels which work as a rain capture system( and also provide shade) raised bed plots and an overall handsome layout the 1.5 acre garden hosts workshops, school visits and Community meetings, and is in its 2nd year of existence. I enjoy green activities(as evidenced by my name) and I found out that they were hosting the first of a 4-part "Managing Your Harvest" workshop through the Neighborhood Gardening Institute. The sight of vines and trellises running through the gates and the framed walkway reminded me of a vineyard. Not to sound corny but it made my eyes widen with hope, and mind swell with endless possibilities to see such an ambitious project developing across the street from another project, a housing project where the outside doesn't seem as pretty. Many times the outer boroughs are treated like forgotten ghettos, only flanking the "Big City" by association and proximity. The further you get from Manhattan the more you can see these amnesic qualities, and Southside Jamaica is one of those places. This garden is one example of the people taking climate change into their own hands, because while "50" may have sponsored it's resurgence the idea had to start from the first garden and it had to watered, and nurtured into fruition until it hit someone on the head that it's bed could be expanded. Complete with benches, shade and dozens of raised beds, fresh air, and good vibes the Curtis "50 Cent" Community Garden is a place that will continue to grow and be the push for advocacy that the community needs to build upon among other things. It is open everyday from 9-5, and hosts a number of workshops and events. http://www.nyrp.org/Parks_and_Gardens/Community_Gardens/Queens/Curtis_50_Cent_Jackson Peas and Blessings.

My one star review began to weigh a bit heavy on my heart as I took to my pen with great…read moredisappointment in my mind, retribution in my fingers. All of this due to the eminent domain approach to the removal of dog owners and our pups from the grassy field we've been congregating and socializing at for years. This radical decision left many of us, the non drivers mainly, without a open space to run our dogs, share a laugh, catching up with those whose company we look forward to being among. All to build and preserve a wack tee ball field for little kids that a year and a half later -- the munchkins have yet to materialize. But the slow arm of the parks department finally began construction on a cleverly designed new dog park, albeit too small being thin in width and short in length. The project looks to be about single digit completed after almost two years which burns my butt a bit, as private industry would have wrapped this up in weeks but as with much of my life -- a grin and bare (bear) it, smile and wave approach and reluctantly accepting this tired, old and dirty cities inability to do anything on time and on budget.

I come here occasionally to practice trail running on the orange path. Although it takes about an…read morehour by subway or by running from home, I haven't found any better trails in the NYC area. I see some creeps/junkies hanging out in the early morning (~8 am) in the single track trails but otherwise it's a perfectly nice park. I was surprised to see how the bathroom was so clean that I didn't have an issue changing clothes there after my workout. I've been coming here for about a year but I finally decided to explore the park outside the orange path, and it was worth the adventure. I was happy to check out generally extensive dog park, tennis court, and other activities going on in the lawn.

Brookville Park , this summer has been a great place for running definitely rather than relaxing…read more Running very early in the morning was one of the best things I've ever did in my life it's very enjoyable. (With music) I'd have to say the park starts getting busy around the Afternoon depends on the weather. Around night time it's a nice peaceful run(don't walk slow and take your precious time) I couldn't really say if it's dangerous to be honest because whenever I run at night time nothing really happens. But I always look around and behind me just for safety.

Love this park. Been coming here for a couple years…read more Pros: the park is huge and has several attractive components: double tennis court, several basketball court, a soccer/ football field, picnic areas,functioning bathrooms and a bike path. Cons: There is no official parking lot. There are about 12 spots on the side near 147th St. and street parking on Brookville. The park much like most of the adjacent areas can present some safety issue. It's not well lit at dusk and there are some secluded areas. While I've never had any unpleasant encounters. I remain vigilant at all times. Err on the side of caution always. I keep my AirPods on transparent so that while I'm listening to music, I am aware at all times and I keep a pepper spray ( I know it's illegal ) on me whenever I'm there. I'd rather get a ticket for having the spray than be vulnerable. I also circle back to my car in between miles. Most importantly, I use the park during popular hours to make sure there are plenty people around.
