Travers Park on Postcard

"In a neighborhood with limited green space and an abundant population of kids, Travers Park is a cherished and well-used resource. The park is equipped with a tot lot, a big kid playground, sprinklers in the hot months, 2 handball courts, a basketball court and a large open space that is used for everything from tennis and volleyball matches to tai chi and yoga classes. In recent years the area surrounding the park has expanded to include a weekend farmer’s market and the 78th Street Play Street that is also host to outdoor performances. Continued renovations and expansions are in the works to provide the growing community a top notch outdoor space." - Diane Shaw

Travers Park has come a long way in recent years with a lush green hill, updated swings and monkey bars, and an overall cleaner feel. If you are looking for a place that is family oriented with community events with a taste of the outdoors in Jackson Heights, this is your go to. This is also near the Garden School and the famed pedestrian streets that’s been featured in the New York Times in multiple issues. Plenty of seating around and you might be able to catch seniors playing chess and some cute dogs at the dog run.

Travers Park is a community park of a few streets block, which has sport field, playground, and a small man-made green-land mountain. But the extended park does include 34th Avenue of about 20-street block. City Hall and community activities do work together to improve 34th Avenue for joggers, bikers and community residents who want to have safe field for exercise and rest/break. Because of the Park project, all types of tall trees are preserved and protected as natural shades from sun heat. Many old buildings in 34th Avenue and 35th Avenue are all protected and classified as historical buildings. It seems to be a successful project for re-design of community park which seems to suitable for all ages.

Park with well-kept gardens and trees, benches, a place for children to play and tables for meals. In front there is a walking and bicycle track.

I personally really love this park. It's small but it has everything I need. Its a clean park, Bench areas, chess and checker table chair areas, you can eat or play. 2 tennis courts. Playground for kids, restrooms, clean women's restroom. Enough trees for shade. This park is on 34th Ave. This Avenue is beautiful full of trees. Safe for running and walking.

There are free yoga with Cas and Zumba classes every Saturday from 8 am to 9 am. You're welcome to join if the weather's good. Donations are appreciated. It's a great spot to chill, whether you wanna sit on one of the many benches, lie down on the grass on the small hill, go for a walk or run, or do your own thing. There are also restrooms.

Travers Park was always a good park with good thought out plan.But now they added more seating area and running tracks for seniors along with the existing sections. Such as, It has baby section that is exclusive to babies under 4 years. Then 4year above kids section, sprinkler, swing, basketball court, squash court and some more. It's a ideal park for a versatile community.

Love this park! Been there many times and I absolutely love it. Super convenient and comfortable. Close to many schools, overall a great place for people to hang out in. Free music and events there as well. Bathroom needed renovation, and it’s being renovated right now! Very persistent. Nice child friendly environment. I’ve made so many memories here with my friends. Amazing looking after big renovations and changing. Even has recycling bins and water bottle filling station.The community is better with Travers Park.

They've really spruced this place up! Lots of diverse seating options, plenty of space for kids to play, and a beautiful green mound of well kept grass. That said, if you're someone who's looking to lie on a blanket on that beautiful green mound to relax or read a book, it can get a bit noisy and chaotic with all of the preschool children running around. To be expected - it's a shared space - but it's worth noting and does knock the park down a notch in my view.
