Since the pandemic started Baisley Pond park is my go to park for running and walking. Always clean. There is a restroom and kids play area. Tennis, basketball and handball courts. Cricket field and baseball field. People are respectful and keep their distance on the paths. Lots of benches to sit on around the pond. Great for walking, biking, running, picining, bbq and fishing. If u want company/motivation to run/walk NYRR (New York Road Runners) has a meet up on Saturday mornings for run/walks whether a beginner walker or long time runner. The longer outer loop of the park is about 1.75 miles and a shorter inner loop of maybe 1.25 miles
Sit around the pond feeding the ducks with your kids. Very relaxing experience. Bikers biking, skaters skating. Close to a little kids park as well and fairly close to basketball and tennis court.
Its a nice park, tons of things to do such as playing Soccer, to even going to the edge of the lake and chilling out. I would only suggest adding another bathroom and water fountain since theyre pretty spread apart.
Has a very nice view of the pond .and a nice bike trail for bike riding, or walking or jogging. And and a baseball ball field, also a large cricket field.With a nice area to barbecue,plus it has such a Beautiful scenery in the summer, and fall with the Beautiful leaf colors .The winter time alike, with a really nice snow view.The pond looks Beautiful in the summer and winter. Remember never try to ice skate on the pond in the winter time with the pond frozen.
Love nature, captured this awesome picture at baisley pond.
Its peaceful out there.i can just look at the pond for hours and My kids love playing around the water and watch the ducks.
The AIR is breathable. Even saw a couple of Parakeets that were freed. Even took some shots for a new screensaver. NO MASK NEEDED, YOU WILL NOT DIE! NATURE HAS NEVER FAILED HUMANS, BUT HUMANS FAIL NATURE! Good Day!😊
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 its the lighting that gives one the majestic sense that we are far away from the daily duties imposed upon us 😅😆. Its 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 place to pause.😎
Beautiful park. It could be a bit more clean, but I love walking around the pond.
Quiet , breezy atmosphere ❤️
A beautiful place for jogging early morning. Beautiful pond with water lilies around.
Very nice park for walk/runs etc. Comes with picnic area and a kiddies play area. Unfortunately people don’t clean up after their dogs as they should. Other than that, Its a good park!
Oh it was great I was able to pick Nick with my friends every year we from 164&107ave,we had a get together
I am recently visiting this park . It’s pretty big park . Love the area around pond though it needs some cleaning. It’s a good park for jogging and playing around different outdoor games . Plenty of parking around park and also some seating area .
Its a beautiful Paradise in our community for our family, events and photo shoots which I did quit a few before the pandemic.
I was coordinating a headshot/promo shoot and decided on here since it seemed peaceful enough and stated that there was a garden. The garden was only that in name, but if cared for, it would be a beautiful little oasis. It was much larger than I thought from passing it a couple of times, and had a nice walk around the perimeter. It seemed to be great for jogging, so t made me wish that I lived just a stones throw away. There was also a cricket match going on, various family gatherings, and multiple bridal parties taking pictures by the pond. Its worth checking out, especially on a nice summer day.
Nice quiet park. They dont clean up here much though
It is very peaceful. You can have a BBQ over there. And you can walk around the pond and it would be very awesome. I to be honest go everyday over there and I still enjoy it. Definitely recommend it spending free time over there!
Super lovely park with plenty of urban wildlife.
Great park....nice viewBbq areas , playground and alot of security by NYPD
Hi, does anyone know if I would need a permit to do my wedding photos and vows? Hand held camera and videographer. Then my fiancee and I would leave the park right after. Only need 2 hours
Best place for a picnic or a stroll alone or with company. I felt really safe here.
1 1/2 mile walk around pond located in the center of this old park in Jamaica, NY. Park furnished with baseball fields, basketball/tennis/handball courts, bbq pits and family sized recreation areas. Peaceful😌
This park is good for running, walking, thinking or talking. Its neat and peaceful unless theres an event.
Small park, nice but nothing special. Seems people dont take that much care. But hey we are in the US, different priorities..
If its not summer its a pretty quiet place to visit and see the big ponds with ducks, birds, and turtles. Also lots of big trees around the park and a place to park your car .
Had a great relaxing day today, park was clean, had a lot of people barbecuing. It was a great day to chill. The park was clean, washroom was clean.
Nice area to relax. There is also a playground, tennis, and basketball.
Cool park to feed turtles ang geeses ... FYI. Biggest turtles I have ever seen in all of nyc parks
Lovely park teeming with squirrels, swans, ducks, seagulls and more. Pretty trees, nice playgrounds and sports areas.
The park seems to have a following of walkers who follow the paths around the lake to complete stepping goals. Well kept with lots of trash bins, wildlife on the lake and parking lot.
This Cricket pitch is amazing. It’s really great field.
What a delightful surprise to find this beautiful family park. With a beautiful pond filled with turtles & fish.
Some areas in the park are a great to take a date or go for a jog or even take the children to play. I recommend it.
A great place to enjoy a BBQ with family and friends.
An wonderful place for walking, jogging, playing soccer, cricket etc. in the Jamaica area.
Soooo beautiful. The geese were lovely to see. Soooo many turtles in the pond in Soooo many different sizes. Only 4 stars because there was a lot of trash. I.kno its not the parks fault, it just upset me.
A refreshing walk allowing me to be with my thoughts while enjoying fresh air and sun. Major roads make park access very easy
Clean and awesome park to have an event or even simple picnic
Beautiful park all seasons long. Very peaceful, clean and safe
I love going there in the summer and watch cricket...n enjoy the breeze
I love Baisley Pond Park. Relaxing place for all of Queens, the world together.
So pleasant to run, or have a walk. People fish for fun as well. Pond has a great ecosystem.
Nice park to walk around and get some fresh air.
Great destination, for a nice walk, and bird watching. Clean, not crowded, laid back, amazing pond. Great facilities for sports.
Good Place for a jog. Need more working mens restrooms!
Nice park with big track. Water sprinkler for kids in the summer and playground. Also has grass field for soccer/cricket/football or to get a tan. Perfect park for families
It was very good, you can feed the ducks there, there is soccer games there sometimes for certain school idk tho but it was pretty cool tho duck very chill 😂
Its a nice area to be on I think they do car shows
One of my favorite parks ive visited so far.
A decent neighborhood park that could use some sprucing up. I enjoy walking around the pond.
Beautiful park.😆😀😀the pics I posted are of a grey crane hiding in the pond.
Needs better lighting. Very dark at night. And Playground could use updating
This place is quite serene in an otherwise not at all serene setting. The pond is full of lotus or reeds or plants and definitely could use some maintenance because theres barely any open water but its beautiful. Theres lot of space to run and play but you cant help but overhear what sounds like constant gunshots but its really boy racers around the park doing their races and such. Really sucks that you cant enjoy the park without that noise but at least its pretty and the kids dont seem to mind.
Its good for a small bbq. It also has a nice pond too.
Beautiful park but could use some clean up
I hadnt been there before, I was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful little oasis! In this time of Covid-19 it was refreshing especially since it was a lovely day.☀️🏞️😎😊
Clean walk and bike path. East side has a parking spot!!
Great to exercise and great place to walk pets.. feels like a whole new world outside of Queens.
The cricket 🏏 field is good..but it needs maintenance.
Really good place to visit,nice barbeque spot
From an outsider prospective. Not safe. Needs maintenance- such great potential. #sad.
The park was clean i seen other families were there children having fun i enjoy the more knowing my grandson. Had fun in a clean play ground
Owsm place to visit with family for picnick if u dont wana go too far from jamica and queens
A beautiful but not so hidden treasure in Queens. Ducks, turtles, fish, a wedding party & a very diverse group of not just animals but people as well. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because the water had a little bit too much garbage in it so Parks Dept. PLEASE give it a cleaning for those precious animals!!!!!! Otherwise if you havent yet been go experience it for yourself & have a wonderful time.
This is one of my favorite parks. Very calming & relaxing. Kid & dog friendly.
First time here its very good place
Beautiful, serene Park. Places to sit & meditate.
The park is reasonably kept up, with nice accommodations for sports, relaxation and family, friends or both. Near transit yet not really places to eat. The pond is not for swimming and could use some restoration. No restrooms, just port-a-potties.
We were there just a 30 minutes,and I loved this place.
I had a good memories here before in cricket fieldNow we had a great win today in the same fieldThe nicest cricket field in New York City ❤️
Very wonderful for sighting during all seasons.
The Park Was Cleaned Up Prior To Our Event. Garbage Around Trash Cans. Not Pleased.
My early morning 2 mile walk. Clean and convenient!
Nice place to relax and play many kinds of sports.
Such a nice park for jogging, sightseeing, picknicking, etc.
Nice place 👌
Nice walking ares, pond is nice as well in the spring time
Beautiful place for taking pictures.
A large and beautiful park. I appreciate that the restrooms are open through the winter.
Best place ever I have gotten...
Movie nights are always a safe and enjoyable experience for the whole Fam!
A beautiful place to walk on a nice day. There are still a lot of issues in the park with crime, so make sure to take the usual precautions (be alert, walk during the day, try not to walk alone).
Rode here on a cycling group ride, its nice. Unfortunately the bathrooms (my favorite thing to post about in Park reviews) were closed! Theres a good amount of them spread out on the trail around the pond and hopefully theyre open as the season comes around.
For a Working place its a great place for relaxation relief
Not crowded, clean and beautiful scenery.
My favorite place to play cricket 🏏
Great for me 😊 love fishing 🐟🎣 this awesome lake 🐟💦
Peaceful place to relax on a nice day.
The park is a nice place for a short walk.
This is an excellent well kept park in the heart of south east queens. You can do it all at this park including enjoy watching the many types of birds that frequent the pond. Cycle, Run, Walk, or have organized sports in Bailey Pond Park.
Great bike ride nice park!
Nice view and good spot to make a pic-nic
I was born in South Ozone Park Queens.Baisley park was my familys favorite place to go. You can play baseball and basketball and tennis.When I grew up with my own family I took my children there.There are areas to picnic and barbecue.You need some fun and relaxation check this park.Its big . Youll get a good night sleep after walking around the park.I did.
Great spot love it here very clean
Great walk around the pond, seeing the geese
Attended the Laurelton Night Market here on Sunday Aug 29th. Got there early to enjoy the vendors, it got crowded very quickly. It was still a great event. I plan on going back.
I had a blast looking at the turtles and dancing
Absolutely beautiful park great place to be if you are very stressed out and need a quiet place to be or simply walk around the park
This is really fun with family we enjoy lot .
This Park is absolutely amazing, its a great place to take the family, and friends. There is a beautiful pond, with ducks, and geese. Now who would believe that, well its true. Theres plenty of activities to keep the kids, and adults busy. Basketball courts, Softball, trails for runners and walkers. Bring your own tables and chairs, also the barbecue. I almost forgot theres even a field for Cricket players. Make sure you visit this great Park this summer.
Nice and clean, just a lot of flies.
Awesome place to go to! I fed a lot of turtles, pigeons, and some other birds. I spotted a goose who was looking for food. A few seagulls came.
Nice open space with a pond. Lots of families and seems pretty safe with some police presence.
Love this park. Had a photoshoot recently and it had really interesting spots that made the shoot look phenomenal.
Took my grandchildren on 03/30 spent all days watching fishers, turtles, big swan & birds & ducks! AWESOME! kids Park ×2 fun for all!
I took my dog there so he could run around off leash. Im not sure if that is allowed, but we did it. He loved it! At 50° he even went into the pond to chase the swans and ducks--never got close, bit he enjoyed it. Other dogs are sometimes skiddish around other dogs so owners may ask you to leash your dog and walk really far around. The only issue was some people are afraid of dogs and will ask you to put the leash back on. I use a remote beeping sound to call him back so he never gets close to anyone else. It has a play area for kids. I dont remember seeing picnic areas. Otherwise its a really nice par to walk your dog.
Great park for family. The pond and grass areas are spacious with lots of sitting area. The kiddie playground is also a nice amenity.
Great for fishing top water frogs buzzbaits spinnerbaitsPlastic worms jigs only love it indeed
I really love the scenery here. . Its a really good park to just relax,meditate and just enjoy the outdoors.. Pretty clean. Spacious.!!
One of the few parks in NYC you can jog completely around. I would not recommend doing activities after 7pm. There are a few homeless people living in there vehicles parked along the park.
I love this park I grew up here and to come back and see how beautiful its truly became is wonderful. Id just love to see the vegetation to be trimmed more in the water a lot of empty metal barrels engulfed in vegetation. But all in all great with even more great potential.
Clean safe family friendly place to go and get your workout on picnic as well
It’s a wonderful place to spend time
Nice chill spot to smoke and relax
Easily one of my favorite parks in Jamaica Queens in the summer time. From the Track, The Lake, The playground, and the football field this place is wonderful. I meditate during they day in the park during my days off while the school kids are inside from the hours of 11am to 12pm in the spring. And I run on the track right after from 1pm to 2pm. The park is always kept clean and tidy and the park staff is always trying to keep the park at its best! Its a wonderful time whenever Im here.
I grew up in the neighborhood and always played ball in that park. Its so clean and peaceful now. Great place to hang out and chill..... during the day.
This park is great for picnics as its reasonably quieter than some of the bigger city parks. You can walk, bike, skate, etc around the pond if you want and there are large grassy areas to play catch or whatever youd like.Some picnic tables are available but they go quick on a busy weekend. There are clean public restrooms as well as a playground/splash pad for the kids. The playground is in direct sunlight so if you go on a hot day sometimes its too hot for the kids to play on but they can still run through the water.Its also conveniently located with corner stores, etc within walking distance so you can grab a drink, snack, or anything small you may have forgotten for your picnic. There is a free parking lot too!
This was my childhood park and as an adult, remains a regular spot to work out for me. Its overall, pretty well maintained, for example, the basketball and tennis courts were recently redone and for the lost part, not a great deal of litter is found here. Its large and overall, is a great outdoor space utilized by many.
Great for long walks and fishing!
Nature in the middle of the city. One of the better parks in (Queens). You see geese with babies and beautiful red wing black birds.
Nothing remarkable about this pond. Its not meant to be a tourist attraction. Its for locals to make use of in their own way: walks, running, biking, picnics, BBQs, etc.
Its a pretty nice spot to hang out at.
Very nice park for adults and kids!
Nice park 🏞️🙂
Nice park with acceptable facilities
Very nice park. Could use a little cleaning coming off of the weekend. Garbage everywhere. Nice area tho. Near public transportation. Great to relax at the pond or just go for a stroll. Me and the kiddo had a wonderful time.
I love this park for the summer
Cool place to spend some quiet time or family picnic.
During the summer time I wish the Parks dept would cut the weeds sooner. They grow really long most times. During winter, its very nice cause the pond is frozen. Geese are always about so bring some bread to feed them. Serene and peaceful. I see some dads with their kids and fishing rods, nice, but you really shouldnt eat the fish, just throw them back in. :)
I love this park. Especially since the summer is coming up I cant wait till I start my #meetups and go walking again. The only reason I am giving it four stars is because I wish the parks rec can cut the grass more so we can see the pond from all sides.
It is a great place for a picnic, family fun or exercise. The pond is filled with turtles. The only problem is, the pond is filled with trash and wants a proper cleaning. People have thrown their trash, plastic bags, metal containers and so on in it. This needs to stop. Plus people feed the turtles random, unhealthy foods. Save the turtles, save nature!!
Nice relaxing place to fish and/or watch the sunset
This park is much better now than in the 70s and 80s! However, the waterline needs to be better cleaned more frequently it appears.Overall, a decent NYC park nonetheless
Four stars for uncertainty as this was my first visit for a few minutes to this Park. However from what Ive seen and felt it may earn five stars after my second and longer visit, which I plan to do soon. I did not observe police officers nor vehicles in the immediate as read, which may mean security is not needed. That would be a good thing.
This park is pretty big. Bike/ jogging path available. The pond is pretty relaxing. On weekends they have cricket matches further down by the Rockaway Blvd. entrance and places to picnic/ bbq on the opposite end. This is where youll find a kiddie park with a sprinkler.
I grew up playing in Baisley Pond Park. My memories are quiet vivid as I recently watched home video taken as a child. The park has been restored and is very nice to walk in. Many families come out in the evening and bring their children. There are several benches to rest and two small parks for the kids to play. The park is a vital part of the community and I look forward to the many events being sponsored there this summer!
Very Serene good place to keep your mind occupied. I sat by the pond often usually about 7am or 8pm. Pathways for jogging, running or just taking a stroll. A good place for the kids to play. Including swings
Fairly large park to enjoy outside time. Along with the large areas of green grass, there is a pond, bike track and playground for the little one. Not a bad place to spend an afternoon.
Nice walking track.
Its a clean environment. Fun to ride bikes with families, have a picnic, use the mini park for kids, sit and watch the sunset near the pond. Its a relaxing and friendly scenery. During the summer theres usually many families here just enjoying themselves. I recommend that you visit.
Very nice big park for family gathering. Some parts are not clean. Other areas are great.
Are you kidding me?Its a beautiful place to go for meditation even taking aRomantic walk I love the swansDucks and sometimes I see pretty fish and turtles. The frogs statues remind me of the countrysideYou know what I like most isThe beautiful sunsetWho doesnt like scenes like this?I enjoy the guys playing basket ball and cricket and the little ones even me swinging on the swingsAs for me I dont need to watch television I can see every. Scene outHere the schools are also nearby andAnd if you are too hot in your apartments you can get pure oxygen relaxing on the bench
Its a nice little Park for a little jog for walking your dog... around 2 this kids from the schools across the street that come in and they hang out there. But around 6 and after its a peaceful Park... that is a kids park for the little ones to play in... on Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings you can always catch a game of cricket. Which is always nice to sit down and watch a game.
This park is actually soooooooo great cuz its perfect for picnics, biking, rollerblading and the pond is beautiful + there is a tennis, basketball, and handball courts and baseball fields too.
Nice and open clean area
The place is nice, but the smell of weed is present at all times. I dont think its safe for kids to be here. Be cautious at all the time. Drugs are everywhere in and outside if the park. Watch out for your kids.
Beautiful gem... They have many things to do in the summer for the kids like movie night under the stars.... The lake is absolutely stunning and a great healthy walk... I would say go to Rockaway Fish House near to there for some great soul food and have a picnic in the park.... Great date night
Very clean park but the maintenance isnt great and the area around the pond is unruly with high weeds and you can barely see the pond or ducks that sometimes come there. The pond is very dirty with garbage in it so I believe the parks department needs to fix up that park better
Need to be kept a little more tidy but its a beauty
I was here briefly. In the evening. It seems nice. Was not here long. Probably wont go back. Was not fully impressed. Need to see it in a different angle. At a different time. If I go back.
The park is beautiful the pond is filthy at least at night you cant see it and it looks really pretty with the lights
Good for walks, pond is filthy
What a great neighborhood pond. Its a large pond (masquerading as a small lake by its looks) Smile. Enjoyed seeing the variety of ethnicities and cultures enjoying the space. From volleyball to cricket to basketball and baseball and soccer: from Caribbean cultures to Latin American cultures and Middle Eastern cultures and so on. A great mix of cultures using this shared space!
Attended the Eid. A park is a park is a park. No bathrooms.
The pond is clean, lots of fish waiting to be caught. A great space to watch tortoises in their mating season. Good place to watch baseball, tennis, basketball and cricket games whenever they are on.
Decent view at night but be careful of the rats that like to roam around the benches.
Part of my morning run. Good vibes if you want to get a good nature walk but stay local or just sit by the pond at peace this is a good spot..
Beautiful Park similar to Prospect park. Lots of wildlife, turtles, frogs, fish, ducks and beautiful swans to look at. Baseball field, 4 tennis courts and a soccer field. Very clean and safe space for your morning jog.
Clean park, came for the trunk or treat event with my kids and they loved the park.
Cool calming place to relax
Great for taking a walk around the pond thats there or cycling around it. The staff and faculty from August Martin high school across the street park their vehicles there during school hours so the best time to go would be before or after school is in session. JFK international airport is only three miles away and this park is a welcome oasis in such a busy area.
Great park for picnics jogging, walk path, biking two childrens park within, basketball courts tennis courts softball field. Bathrooms. Nice place for a picnic. Two bathroom areas. Large pond ducks geese swans turtles small fish frogs.
Its just a beautiful walk-around park with a large pond in the middle. There are some swing sets and jungle gym equipment for small children to play on at one corner.
Nice and quiet place I go all ways over there I like it
Clean and quiet, very peaceful
It is very nice park surrounding by a very big pond. It is in the South Jamaica, Queens. Birds fly on the pond. Very nice breeze weather by the pond. Riding bike is a good option. Some people like to have picnic in the park. Water in the pond seemed to be clean. A very different natural view in the city life.
My neice and I stayed near this park whilst on holiday 5 years ago, I went for a walk one Sunday and happened upon this park by chance, there was people playing basketball, softball, kids playing American football, people on the running track and to my total surprise a game of cricket being played too, albeit rather unorthodox because the bowlers were bowling underarm because of the state of the batting strip, and even though I was the only white person (I never saw anyone else) I never once felt uneasy or threatened, I was even wearing my England t-shirt bearing the flag of Saint George, in the hour or so I strolled through the park all I saw was families enjoying the early afternoon sun and having fun, I must visit there again if Im ever in Queens again
This park was beautiful and big! You can also do what ever you want there! Like jogging, riding your bike, and much more! I Definitely recommend going to this park!
Nice clean park grass well kept good place for family time
The lake Open Trees The birds and the park itself Wonderful. Also for biking walking or relaxing.
Nice, quiet, serene place to take a stroll or just sit and relax. Great atmosphere for the entire family. Didnt notice any restrooms though. Pretty close to several restaurants.
Ive been going to this park since the 60s. Its one of my favorite places to visit. It has its playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts as well as restrooms. Its great for family gatherings. Many visitors use the park for soccer,softball,cricket games and barbecues.
Nice for a quiet short stroll to see sunset , ducks and small fish in the pond. Much cleaner than what it used to be.
While walking in this park I sat down and noticed a memorial section where names of friends and family are attached onto the benches where people can sit down and enjoy the peace and quiet at this park. There is peace at this place but something is missing...we dont like When friends and family names are just on a bench chair we want a Face and names along with the memories of loved ones so I think we now can give them there own website called Facesbyplaces.com . In memory of those we loved lets keep the legacies alive with a Name ,Face and Place..... Coming soon. ...Mom I love you always...
Could be a little more cleaner but I love the trail walk. Also the kids park could do with a bit of an update 😉. Overall its nice just need more maintenance and update.
A nice quiet park with plenty of room for walking or jogging.
Great park! I use to go to this park very often and then I started playing cricket there for years and it’s always been a great environment to be in can’t wait to visit with my dog
Had a photo shoot there. Benches are available and tracks for bicycle riding. There is a pond on site that gives a beautiful setting to the back drop. I admit that the park would do well with some maintenance and landscaping which would add to its natural beauty.
Its nice and cool even on hot and humid summer days very soothing environment!
I dropped off my wife for work near by, and I had my dog in the back seat. So I decided to walk him here. Really nice spot to walk the dog.
This park need to be clean the grass is not groomed and the garbage is all over the place, the work out area is full of grass,the drinking water is backed up, trees not groomed children play area not safe. This is not a safe place for children
The tennis courts on this side is much cleaner. Unfortunately, the men hanging out found it necessary to urinate in the bushes nearby. Please clean the courts on the east side near the pond.
Its a beautiful place but you have to be careful of men taking a leak because they see you gung to your car. Sone sick men out there. Even if you are in the car some people are fearless. The scenery is awesome fullfilling and energizing.. But be weary of yourself always.
Nice track and park.
Great place for thinking and walks
I used to live near by , I would take walks in the park its nice.
My children enjoyed themselves, other parents were friendly and the park was clean and maintained... Love the sprinklers they may want to fix some of the benches by the sprinklers. Other than that wonderful experience.
Beautiful place to have a picnic or a childs party. Some people fish in the pond. There are lots of turtles in there. I will keep going. I had a great time there.

2022-05-14The weeds are high all over the park. Even around the kids playground and bench seats. Garbage bags are just sitting out. The pond has green plant covering most of it. No reason this place looks so unkept. Alley pond park, Cunningham park, Roy Wilkins Park do not look like this. They need to do a better job at keeping the gras low. Kids were playing in weeds.
Review №3
2022-06-10Wasnt crowded and their was a DJ for the BBQ that was going on not to far from us. Some of the weeds and grass was a little over grown around the pond. But not to bad. Oh, and bring along plenty of insect repellent. You already know!It was formed in the 18th century, when local farmers dammed three streams to power a grain mill. It was named for David Baisley, a farmer who owned the mill in the early 19th century.

2022-06-09Lovely park. The pond is so serene. I ride my bike, walk or just sit and people watch. NYC Parks Dept. employees have it rough. People are just nasty leaving trash everywhere.

2021-08-16PROS: 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 attention too.

2021-09-07My daughters guitar instructor suggested having a lesson at this park. It was a beautiful atmosphere and she enjoyed being able to have her lesson here after having several months of lessons virtually. Plus I was able to take my son just a few steps away to play in the playground while she focused on her lesson.

2021-03-23This is such a beautiful park. Its quite had plenty of places to sit, relax and enjoy the serene environment. The ducks and swans were calm and had no fear when we came close to them which is a good sign. Lets make sure we do our best to keep our parks and the water clean.
Review №9
2022-05-17It is a good lake to see. There are lots of ducks to see and feed. Theres this big white swan that is beautiful to see. Heres the problem, For kids, there is no barrier from kids FROM FALLING INTO THE LAKE. Also, The lake is way big and wide. Heres the big warning, Someone could slip into the lake. So I wish that the lake had a barrier to protect people from falling in the lake.

2022-07-04Beautiful Clean Park with Night Lights for Sport Events and Cultural Events. Many People from different countries celebrate for example their Independence Day or Fund Raisers for great causes as well. Public Bathrooms are also available. Baisley Bond Park is truly a Treasure in the Borough of Queens, New York.
