Lt. Frank McConnell Park: Queens, NYC

This public plaza serves as a homey gathering spot, occasionally hosting community events like projects by Chhaya. Set in a neighborhood populated largely by Punjabi Sikh families, the space looks out over a local tandoori eatery. The park preserves a small piece of American history, though some visitors note that it could benefit from cleaner facilities. An intermittent street light adds a surreal, David Lynch-esque quality to the plaza.
