STORY & PHOTOS BY JUDY

Le Havre Board Member
Over the past couple of months, Le
Havre Board Member Judy Densky
has treated us to the beauty of Alley
Pond Park and Crocheron Park. Most
recently she visited Kissena Park in
Flushing. Read on to learn about
Judy’s latest excursion. Thanks, Judy!
Kissena Park, located in southeast
Flushing, is a lovely respite. The 235-
acre park is in the southeast part of
Flushing bordered by Fresh Meadows
Lane and Kissena Blvd. between Oak
Avenue, Underhill Avenue and Booth
Memorial Ave.
The park is an ideal location to both
relax and participate in fun outdoor
activities. The beautiful Kissena Lake,
flanked by weeping willows and shady
trees, creates an idyllic setting to enjoy
a sunny day. Stroll through the park to
take in all of the lush flora and fauna
and be sure not to miss the historic
tree grove. The dozens of species of
trees in the grove are some of the most
exotic in the world and is a lasting
reminder of the original use of the land
as Parsons Nurseries.
Kissena is an ideal place to read
a book, relax, walk around or fish.
After taking in the beauty of Kissena
Park, get active at one of the park’s
many recreational facilities. Try and
beat your best time on the bike at the
Kissena Park Velodrome. Or play a
round of golf at the Kissena public
course. And of course there are lots of
playgrounds, baseball diamonds, and
tennis and handball courts for all to
use. So whether or not you are looking
for some action or you’d prefer some
rest and relaxation, Kissena Park is the
Avid walkers!
