Rego Forest Park is a 1.5-acre neighborhood park at Woodhaven Boulevard and Fleet Street, near the border of Rego Park and Forest Hills in central Queens. The park provides a small but valued green space along the busy Woodhaven Boulevard commercial corridor.
Rego Park takes its name from the Real Good Construction Company, which developed the neighborhood's apartment buildings in the 1920s. The neighborhood has become one of the most diverse in Queens, with significant Bukharan Jewish, Russian, Chinese, and South Asian populations.
The park features a playground, benches, and landscaped areas. Its location along Woodhaven Boulevard, one of the major north-south routes through central Queens, gives it high visibility and accessibility from the surrounding residential blocks.
The commercial energy of Woodhaven Boulevard, with its mix of chain stores, small businesses, and restaurants reflecting the neighborhood's multicultural population, creates a busy environment where the park's greenery provides a welcome visual and atmospheric contrast.
Rego Forest Park serves the everyday recreation needs of a diverse residential community, providing a neighborhood gathering space along one of central Queens' busiest corridors.
