Little Bay Park is a waterfront park on Little Neck Bay in the Bayside / Whitestone area of northeast Queens, providing shoreline recreation with views of the Throgs Neck Bridge and Long Island Sound.

The park features walking paths along the waterfront, fishing access, athletic fields, and picnic areas. The shoreline setting provides a sense of openness and water access that is unusual in the urban landscape of Queens.

The Throgs Neck Bridge, visible from the park, connects Queens to the Bronx across the East River. The bridge's graceful span provides a dramatic backdrop for the park's waterfront setting.

Little Bay Park is part of the eastern Queens waterfront system that includes Fort Totten, Francis Lewis Park, and Crocheron Park, collectively providing extensive shoreline access along Little Neck Bay.

The park serves the residential communities of Bayside and Whitestone with waterfront recreation in one of the most naturally beautiful settings in the borough.
