Queens Sports Fields and a Mastodon Sculpture
Run, roll, picnic, or watch cricket across 109 acres with paths, courts, and an urban habitat.
🏏 Cricket, Courts, and Open Space
Start with the scale. Baisley Pond Park spreads across 109 acres in Queens, with tennis, handball, and basketball courts alongside soccer, baseball, and cricket fields. Its paths are made for running, biking, and rollerblading, while playgrounds and shady alcoves open the day to picnics and slower laps. Fishing areas, fitness equipment, barbecuing areas, public restrooms, and spray showers give a longer outing more ways to unfold.
History here runs deeper than the fields. A mastodon sculpture marks a prehistoric find here, and the park doubles as an urban natural habitat for observing local plant and animal life. Bring a ball, a picnic, or a pair of running shoes and move between the active fields and the quiet corners. Off 116 Avenue in Queens, the park suits an early start, a family afternoon, or a casual cricket match on the weekend. The gates stay open daily from 6 AM to 9 PM, with room for a sunrise run or an evening game.
