I already went to 167th, new lotts, 161st, timesquare and Fordham but I need better places. After we can get pizza and smoke a blunt.

Especially my YN’s

NYC has listed 47 properties in Queens Community District 2 for possible acquisition and site selection for park use. The application was submitted by DCAS and NYC Parks, and it is scheduled for a City Planning Commission public hearing on June 3, 2026.

The listed sites run across major western Queens corridors, including Queens Boulevard, Northern Boulevard, Broadway, Skillman Avenue, Van Dam Street, Borden Avenue and Greenpoint Avenue.

Important caveat: the notice does not say every property will become a finished park. It does not include a budget, final designs or construction timeline. But it does show the city is formally moving these parcels into the land-use process.

This is the kind of city paperwork most people never see until it is already moving.

What would you want western Queens to get from new park space — more trees, playgrounds, dog runs, sports fields, seating, shade, or something else?

Was going back to tracks like Da Graveyard by L and X- Is Coming by X and wished we would have gotten that bar for bar collab

RIP to both NY legends
