Highland Park

Straddling the border between Brooklyn and Queens, this scenic public park offers spacious green areas alongside basketball and tennis courts, grilling stations, and a community garden. Visitors find separate play areas tailored for toddlers and older children, plus trails used for walking, running, and skateboarding. While sections near Vermont Street can carry street noise, most of the grounds feature lush greenery and connect directly to the historic Ridgewood Reservoir loop.
