Such a beautiful 1 acre garden with a pond , great amount of amenities like many basketball courts , tennis courts, handball, and a baseball field. I came here for the second time in 20 years of living in this area. I came for biking and found that the biking path is a bit bumpy for a road bike but decent . You could do a few laps here and get some exercise in. I found a garden within the park called mother carter garden, read up on it and it was dedicated to a woman who served this park and made it what it is today I wish we had more people like mother carter . The parks in Queens and the surrounding boroughs to Manhattan don’t receive the care and support they need to stay beautiful. There’s a heavy amount of foot traffic and not enough cleanup or maintenance services to compensate . I pray for more mother carters who take care of the hearts of the city , which are these parks. There are many families who are moving out of the city to other places just because there are good parks where they can unwind and catch their breath after work or on the weekends. My request to all who came here, please clean up after yourself, and let’s make this park as beautiful as it’s meant to be

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 it's the lighting that gives one the majestic sense that we are far away from the daily duties imposed upon us . It's 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.

PROS: 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.

I visited the pond park while taking a walk or stroll around the park area one morning. There were Canadian migratory geese and other migratory birds' flying and landing one scenic show in and around the pond area. Now in the winter, some edges of the pond area seem to freeze over, but the birds didn't mind the ice surprisingly. There are also running and jogging trails that run all round the park that athletes and joggers use and were using, plus playgrounds, a local, cricket field, playgrounds, empty lush picnic spots and public restrooms. The park's nature, squirrels, birds,migratory geese etc. ecosystem is great to observe and take in. The park was so relaxing to stroll through we didn't realize we reached the end chatting and strolling, before we did.

Our family had a wonderful day at the park in Queens. The lush green surroundings and well-maintained grounds made it the ideal spot for a picnic. The kids had a blast playing on the playground equipment, and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The park's facilities, like clean restrooms and well-placed picnic tables, added to the convenience. It was heartwarming to see families and friends enjoying quality time together in such a peaceful environment. Whether it was tossing a frisbee, taking a leisurely stroll, or simply basking in the natural beauty, this park offered something for everyone. We left with smiles on our faces and memories to cherish. It's a fantastic place for a family day picnic in Queens!

It is a good lake to see. There are lots of ducks to see and feed. There's this big white swan that is beautiful to see. Here's the problem, For kids, there is no barrier from kids FROM FALLING INTO THE LAKE. Also, The lake is way big and wide. Here's 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.

Playground
There aren't really any playgrounds, only grass and a lake. Kids could play on the grass but not really anything to swing on or any slides. Just grass.

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

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 stone's throw away. There was also a cricket match going on, various family gatherings, and multiple bridal parties taking pictures by the pond. It's worth checking out, especially on a nice summer day.

The recreational facilities at Baisley Pond Park are impressive. The well-maintained playgrounds, sports courts, and open spaces make it an ideal destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts. It's a place where children can run and play freely, and where adults can engage in a variety of sports and activities. One of the park's standout features is the beautiful walking and jogging trails that meander through the lush greenery. These pathways offer an excellent opportunity for exercise and connecting with nature, all within an urban setting. I really love this park!

This place is perfect for long walks and relaxation, you can barbecue/picnic , find a quiet area to ground yourself and clear your mind, ride your bike , play cricket(permit needed) , play tennis or hand ball has a playground ( a bit dated)with gate (for little runners) sprinklers , plenty of parking, public restrooms , huge trees with plenty of shade , benches everywhere, huge pond that has turtles, fishes ,goose, a very large male mute swan (he's gorgeous but aggressive) beautiful birds and squirrels .

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 there's barely any open water but it's beautiful. There's lot of space to run and play but you can't help but overhear what sounds like constant gunshots but it's really boy racers around the park doing their races and such. Really sucks that you can't enjoy the park without that noise but at least it's pretty and the kids don't seem to mind.

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.

Baiseley Pond Park is beautiful, quite large, serene and clean. I can here today to clear my head and get a break from my stressful day. It worked. I feel like I left the doctor's office in the most positive way. I recommend this Park if you are looking for a sanctuary for the everyday issues of living. A HUGE Thank you to all of the people who work hard to keep this parking going year after year. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!❤

Wasn't 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.

It is a very beautiful park and of course it is clean, in my opinion it has good security.

Great park to take in nature and enjoy the views. A lot of room for dogs and for walks. Would recommend it if you need some fresh air. Has slides and swings in the playgrounds. Very clean and great place to watch ducks in the summer.

I was born and raise here so I know a lot about this park haven’t been here for a while since I relocated to NC but I can tell you I seen this park go thru a lot of changes I say I hate that the police roam thru there at night starting with people around 08 but I still love the park so much memories can’t wait to see it again but besides all that this park is number one to relax and enjoy the view

Decent park with no safety issues so far. Park could be cleaner. Fallen branches remain in walking path for long time. Even longer on grassy areas. Lots of park workers come and go but garbage pickup has a lot to be desired. It's unfortunate that people create dumping areas but with better maintenance, could be a deterrent. Guess because it's not Manhattan the park doesn't deserve better care.

The 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.

A lovely park in the middle of a bustling metropolitan area. There is plenty of space to picnic and even BBQ. There are benches along the pathway, near the lake and by the children’s playground. Lovely open spaces to play games and run around. Ample parking. My only negative would be the rest room area but it is in public space and I guess to be expected.

Fantastic place to meet people for a friendly Bible discussion. Had a chat with a man who was happy to express his ideas and beliefs. Brian and I had a great time in this park. I was told they recently had a cricketing event there which invited people of various nationalities. I like this park and I'm looking forward to visiting again.

My daughter's 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.

Been coming to Baisley pond park for years. Great place. This summer they also did movies in the park as well

Yes we took our beautiful pit for a nice walk around the pond.

Great park, very spacious. Has a wonderful relaxing pond. There are a couple of playgrounds, perfect for the little kiddies. A path great for bike riding or walking. They have picnic tables, BBQ area, basketball courts, tennis courts, or handball courts. It's an all-around great place for family fun.

Lovely clean park, nice to jog around the lake. My only maybe Con would be the gangster Squirrels that are so accustomed to humans that they would run up by the picnic table while you're still there looking for food. They are friendly and not aggressive though.
Picnic area
Many tables.

This is such a beautiful park. It's 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. Let's make sure we do our best to keep our parks and the water clean.

It's a beautiful park and bast for picnic

Must amazing things is picnic area in baisley park I love to picnic there

I've been living in this neighborhood for 20 years, but only started walking here two weeks ago. The pond is nice and the park seems safe. There is a tennis court and I've seen cricket being played here also. Nice place for family gatherings and bbqs.

Baisley Pond Park is a nice place to chillax, lay back, listen to some music and whatever you like to do to occupy your time. This is a great place to picnic alone, or with family and friends. It is located in a predominantly residential neighborhood.

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 .

this used to be a nice park, now there is so much overgrowth of trees it looks like a forest. walking paths overgrown with weeds and not smooth. There is still grass closer to the street path, but the park has been left to Nature to over grow.

I must say that I enjoyed my evening out here! Peaceful and serene! It doesn’t have all the features of most parks but man it’s nice over there. It’s very nice for wedding pics. I’m going there to Hang out before the summer is gone! …

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!

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! …

It's 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 they're pretty spread apart.

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 …

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 it's not the park's fault, it just upset me.

Nice relaxing day at the park!
Playground
Cleaner than I've ever noticed before. No rubbers anywhere from the night before either.

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.

I hadn't 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.☀️️ …

This is a beautiful Park! one round the park is over 5000 steps, working from home this is how I start most of my mornings each day. At the end of each walk I say hello to the turtles!

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!

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.

Been taking afternoon strolls here and I have to say it is a beautiful park in my neighborhood! Typically well kept and plenty of room to walk, run bike. Whatever your heart desires.

Lovely 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.

It's a jewel of South Jamaica. There is also cricket played at the park as well. It's a wonderful place to take the kids for some out door fun and nature walks

Love this park amazing space was used to create an event for justice impacted individuals loved these ladies that ask just free all my sisters behind the wall.

Grew up playing some handball over there very big very beautiful and pretty much clean oh yeah many barbecues over there Don't have to bring the grill

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.

A great place to take your children. The park has walking trails and is close to several Bus lines. A beautiful lake adds to an incredible scenery.

Best cricket ground in New York area . Thanks nyc for giving all Crickters this space . All week young or old cricketers playing in this field .

I like this park perfect for walking and sit and watch the swans and ducks
Picnic area
It has a area you can barbecue tables and chairs

Hi, I'm a resident of Staten Island. I visited Queens to see this park and it was worth it. I loved every second of it. No wonder it's famous.

I had a good memories here before in cricket field Now we had a great win today in the same field The nicest cricket field in New York City ❤️

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

It was a great family day celebrating my mother's birthday. The park was clean. The bathroom was clean. I look forward to going back again.

Nice slice of nature in the big city. A fishable pond, plenty of trees and grass, BBQ area, playground. Nice places to picnic everywhere.

It was ok..they are trying to clean it but they do need more people to do it. As you walk around the lake it does look like a jungle...

I love this park , it's amazing esp during the summer time with the West Indian cricket players ,1love to everyone,makes me proude!!

It's a beautiful Paradise in our community for our family, events and photo shoots which I did quit a few before the pandemic.

A great place to run/job/walk. Only wish they would clean the pond occasionally as there are turtles living in the water.

This park is so hugh with tennis courts, playground for kids and the usual football and cricket games that plays daily.

Great Park. Friendly people. Friendly staff. Large we'll maintained lawns. Beautiful place to visit. Highly recommend.

It’s pretty beat up with trash in random places as well as in the water. It’s nice to look at from a distance though.

Lovely park teeming with squirrels, swans, ducks, seagulls and more. Pretty trees, nice playgrounds and sports areas.

Beautiful park, very family oriented, a romantic path along side the pond perfect for sunset strolls with a loved one

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.

This park is good for running, walking, thinking or talking. It's neat and peaceful unless there's an event.

It has parking space. It's peaceful and has ducks. A little dirty with bird poop around the walking area.

Peaceful park, where you can come and enjoy the scenery. Enough parking space. Highly recommend to visit

Cool park to feed turtles ang geeses ... FYI. Biggest turtles I have ever seen in all of nyc parks

Great for fishing top water frogs buzzbaits spinnerbaits Plastic worms jigs only love it indeed

2023.10.19 -a nice place for a walk on a pretty fall afternoon when staying at Fairfield Hotel

So pleasant to run, or have a walk. People fish for fun as well. Pond has a great ecosystem.

This Park is a great place to go walking, picnic, relax in the open air and calm you mind.

This unassuming park had a quiet vibe about it and enough activity to keep u entertained

In spite of the rain it was a great day for Queens community library staff appreciation!

Beautiful park.the pics I posted are of a grey crane hiding in the pond. …

Gorgeous park in the Jamaica neighborhood. Kept very clean, and there is a small pond.

Lovely park for our schools track and field day. Restrooms could use some help though.

A beautiful place for jogging early morning. Beautiful pond with water lilies around.

Best place for a picnic or a stroll alone or with company. I felt really safe here.

The Park Was Cleaned Up Prior To Our Event. Garbage Around Trash Cans. Not Pleased.

Beautiful park. It could be a bit more clean, but I love walking around the pond.

I love Baisley Pond Park. Relaxing place for all of Queens, the world together.

peaceful depending the time n day lol but over all is a good place to relax

A good place to spend time with ur dog if u want to experience nature

Nice place to take the family out.. Went to a baby shower there.

Beautiful park all seasons long. Very peaceful, clean and safe

Very nice park but it needs a clean up and some new amenities

Love nature, captured this awesome picture at baisley pond.

Clean walk and bike path. East side has a parking spot!!

Very relaxing walks and a great place to ride your bike.

It's good for a small bbq. It also has a nice pond too.

This Cricket pitch is amazing. It’s really great field.

Great fro walking, riding bikes and just great scenery
