This is the best place to learn driving. There are hugh parking lots that once belong to hangers and very long unused runway that used to be lifeline for aviation pioneers. Floyd Bennett Field was built between 1928 and 1931 and quickly became the preferred launching site for record-setting flights by Hughes, Earhart, Wiley Post and other aviation pioneers. Some portion of Floyd Bennett field is used by NYPD and Sanitation. There is one farm and visitor center which is worth visiting if you want to know more about aviation history attached to this airport.

The area definitely has alot of open space for the city. It's broken up in different areas. I haven't been or even know if I can get into? It's been a few yrs since I've rolled threw on bike. There's a number of different things going on from the sports area, gardening, R/C airplanes, etc. Its along Jamaica Bay at the start of Flatbush Ave. It's right before Marine park bridge to Rockaway. As a matter of fact it's the last light before the bridge 🌉. I've taken a few pics off the Brooklyn side of the Marine Park Bridge that next to or after F.B.Field. On the right side is Brooklyn (if you zoom in you will see the old parachute jump in Coney Island) and the left is the end of Rockaway called Breezy Point.

Douglas K | Oct 13, 2021

I only use FBF as a biking destination or a resting area but I've never been inside the main building. There used to be a RC auto-racing track near the south entrance where I could watch people set up and race their RC cars but I don't think it's being used anymore as I had stopped by a few times last year and no one was racing. Covid-related, maybe?

What train goes there

guanita pettway | Oct 14, 2019
Dennis Antonov | Oct 14, 2019

You would be taking a bus or two from the nearest train station. You can take the B/Q train to Kings Highway, and then transfer to the B100. You can then transfer at Kings Plaza to a Far Rockaway-bound Queens bus. The place would be right before the bridge.
