Great park to walk or relax in. It's seriously a massive park with lots of trails to choose from and also has great spots for picnics and just spending time with family. There's also a carousel and a lot of vendors selling italian ice and frozen treats around the park. I imagine that the trees would look beautiful in the fall or after a it snows in the winter too. Forest Park is like the Central Park of Queens. Would definitely recommend coming here. It's close to public transportation too.

A nice park with forest like feel without any of the risks, as they have a tons of trails and it is always close to the road (max half a mile). Allocate at least 1 hour for it as the closest subway station and bus stop can be over 30-40 minutes away at various parts of the forest. There were a few spooky things due to people not respecting the forest which makes you feel sad but also wonder why that and why there.

Visited the Bark Park. Lots of room to run around in. Plenty of room to play fetch with a ball. Separate sections for big dogs and small dogs. The dog park is all dirt so it gets muddy. Ruby loved her visit, but had to be cleaned after her visit. She loved running in the mud puddles.

I haven't seen anyone fly a drone there but if it complies with (I believe) FAA regulations I don't see why not since it's a public park.

Is it legal (or at least not soecifically illegal) to go to this park at night? It lists as closed, but so does Central Park and people are walking and running there 24/7 without any trouble from the police.

D.W. “Olòrin” Stratton | Nov 25, 2019
Michael Wechsler | Nov 26, 2019

Technically, you may be issued a civil summons but these cases are very rare - https://www.nycgovparks.org/rules/section-1-07 . Years ago in Brooklyn someone asked me about police issuing them a summons. In Central Park I heard of people being to leave because the park was closed. No guarantees but highly unlikely.

I would check with Park Services about official rules, but you should be fine. As far as I'm aware they follow the same general rules as kites and that sort of thing.

Hi, is it safe for females to run alone on the road path through Forest Park? If so, are day-time hours generally okay or are there times to avoid (like early morning ~6/7am or around sunset throughout the year ~4-7pm)? Thanks in advance!

Melissa Watkins | Nov 25, 2018
Warren Diggs | Nov 26, 2018

Don't be afraid to go out alone just be weary about your surroundings and if you still feel unsafe take somebody with you or jog around many other joggers
