If not, you should mark it on your map, as it's only 2.7 miles from the Woodside neighborhood and offers the gorgeous Queensbridge Park with views of the East River waterfront. The park lies under the bridge and spans north along the coast for 11 acres, and features open fields, ballparks and a long greenway that traverses through the park. Dogs are welcome to the park, but must be picked up after and remain on a leash at all times.
