Alley Pond Environmental Center. "This magnificent park is our legacy — passed to us by our ancestors and held in trust for all who follow. Over 635 acres of woodlands, meadows fresh and salt water marshes encompass this northeast Queens park. It is truly a haven for NYC's wildlife and a peaceful refuge for its human residents. For centuries people have been drawn to "the Alley" for its richness and diversity. The Native American Mattinicock people flourished by harvesting its bounty of food sources. During colonial times pioneers carved farms out of the wilderness. A post office, blacksmith shop, grist mill and Buhrmann's General Store were historical sites located in the Park. In the 20th century, highway growth and development threatened these ecosystems. Beginning in the 1960's many noble efforts were made to preserve what remains of our natural heritage. In the past twenty years people have become aware of the parks true value and have rallied to its support."

Flushing Meadows Corona Park. "Flushing Meadow Corona Park is one of the greatest places in New York City. It has become the keystone park of Queens and a recreation and cultural hub for the region; yet, it was once just a dusty wasteland, "a valley of ashes" as F. Scott Fitzgerald dubbed it in the Great Gatsby. Its poetic, phoenix-like transformation from ash dump to oasis was driven by Queens' residents, the City and 1939 and 1965 World's Fair held in this park. These fairs put this park on the world's stage, and it has stayed there, hosting the United Nations General Assembly for five years, three baseball World Seres at Shea Stadium, and the U.S. Open.

More than a fairground and a site of major athletic competitions, this park is used every day by people from the entire region. People come to play soccer on the new turf fields, to stroll along the Flushing Bay promenade, to enjoy the sounds of a summer concert, to visit one of the park's outstanding cultural institutions, or simply to relax in a beautiful garden. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Parks & Recreation are committed to Flushing Meadows Corona Park. We look forward to developing new recreation facilities, enhancing the collection of great public art, and continuing its maintenance and its growth as a terrific place for all New Yorkers."

Queens Zoo. "The Queens Zoo, a tribute to American animals, opened to the public on June 25, 1992. It was the second of three "city zoos" to be renovated and operated by Wildlife Conservation Society, through a partnership with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.

Unlike the much older Central Park and Prospect Park zoos (which were renovated and reopened by WCS in 1988 and 1993, respectively), the Queens Zoo had only existed since 1968. That year, the "Flushing Meadows Zoo" opened on the grounds of the 1964 World's Fair. However, advances in zoo technology and animal management rapidly left the zoo in need of an update. The new zoo is the result of a $16 million reconstruction."
