Yellowstone Park is a 1.75-acre neighborhood park on Yellowstone Boulevard near 68th Road in Forest Hills, Queens. Despite sharing its name with the famous national park in Wyoming, this Queens park is a modest neighborhood green space serving the residential community of Forest Hills.
Yellowstone Boulevard, the park's location, is one of the primary residential streets in Forest Hills, lined with apartment buildings and homes that give the area its settled, tree-shaded character. The boulevard's name likely derives from a reference to the western park rather than any geological connection.
The park features a playground, basketball courts, and open green areas. Its central location in Forest Hills' residential district makes it accessible to families from the surrounding blocks and a natural gathering point for the neighborhood.
Forest Hills' reputation as one of the best residential neighborhoods in Queens rests on its combination of architectural quality, excellent schools, diverse dining and shopping, and access to green space. Yellowstone Park contributes to this portfolio of neighborhood amenities.
Yellowstone Park provides everyday recreation in a neighborhood that values its residential character, offering the kind of well-maintained community green space that helps make Forest Hills one of the most livable neighborhoods in the borough.
