Flushing Creek Park

Flushing Creek Park is a developing waterfront park along Flushing Creek in downtown Flushing, Queens, part of the ongoing transformation of the creek corridor from neglected industrial waterway to public amenity.

Flushing Creek flows through the heart of downtown Flushing, one of the largest and most dynamic Asian-American communities in the United States. The neighborhood's Chinese, Korean, and South Asian populations have made it a major commercial and cultural center.

Downtown Flushing has become one of the most commercially active business districts outside Manhattan, with banks, restaurants, supermarkets, and professional offices serving the Asian-American community of eastern Queens and beyond.

The creek corridor park project aims to provide waterfront access and ecological restoration along a waterway that has been polluted and neglected for decades. The project reflects growing recognition that urban waterways can be both ecological and recreational assets.

Flushing Creek Park serves the enormous and growing population of downtown Flushing with waterfront green space in one of the most densely developed neighborhoods in Queens.
