Frank Principe Park

Frank Principe Park is an 8.9-acre neighborhood park on Prince Street near 30th Drive in Astoria, Queens. Named for a local community member, the park provides recreation space in one of the most diverse and dynamic neighborhoods in the city.

Astoria's reputation as one of the world's most diverse neighborhoods is visible in its restaurants, shops, and community institutions, which serve Greek, Egyptian, Brazilian, Bangladeshi, Colombian, Eastern European, and many other populations. The park serves this extraordinary multicultural community.

The park features a playground, basketball courts, and seating areas. Its location in a residential section of Astoria means it primarily serves neighborhood families, providing the kind of everyday outdoor recreation space that apartment-dwelling families depend on.

Astoria's proximity to Manhattan (just one subway stop from Midtown) and its vibrant commercial life along Broadway, Steinway Street, and 30th Avenue have made it one of the most popular neighborhoods in Queens for young professionals and families. This popularity has increased demand for park space.

Frank Principe Park provides essential neighborhood recreation in a community whose diversity, energy, and rapid growth make it one of the most exciting neighborhoods in New York City.
