Featuring basketball courts, handball walls, tennis courts, playgrounds and fields for baseball and soccer, Grant Park is a great spot for fun, competition or just to go for a walk. A serene lake sits on one side of the park, where people can go fishing (license required) or go jogging or rollerblading along its path. The park, which was opened in 1955, also features a roller rink that is used for ice skating between December and March.

Colonial Lake Park

Colonial Lake wasformedin 1924 when the developers of the Colonial Lakelands housing development built a dam on the Shabakunk Creek to purposely flood a nearbylow-lying section of land to create a swimming hole for theresidents of the newcommunity. Ownership of the lake was eventuallyturned overto Lawrence Township.Though swimming is no longer allowed, thelake is popular with local fishermen as it is stocked with fish every year by the New Jersey Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife. A 0.9-mile walking and jogging path circlesthree-quarters of thelake, and there are several tennis courts, swings and other playground equipment locatedin the park.

Forest Park

Forest Park is the third-largest park in Queens, home to a number of attractions including playgrounds, dog runs and hiking trails. It boasts more than 500 acres of wooded areas and open fields. The running and hiking trails in the woods are filled with densely packed wooded areas, all of which provide for a strong element of nature in an otherwise heavily populated neighborhood. With playgrounds and open areas at several different points throughout the park, as well as an 18-hole golf course, Forest Park provides a plethora of options for everyone. The park has multiple entrances for Forest Hills residents, most of which are along Metropolitan Avenue.
