Rufus King Park - Park in Queens - 150-29 Jamaica Ave, USA

Beautiful park. A gem in the community. It’s a very recreational park. Sometimes there’s a hundred people here just to play soccer, basketball, or handball Travel tip: if you are alone I recommend staying on the north end of the park. Avoid nighttime wandering. There is a stabbing here maybe once every 3 weeks. A handful of robberies every few months. It’s generally a pretty safe area considering its proximity to the ave and Sutphin. Travel tip 2: always pick up after yourself. The park remains usually clean, but trash gathers quickly especially after events. Leave it better than the way you found it!

It’s my neighborhood park and love going there when I have time home. Enjoy watching locals in my neighborhood play soccer Aka football, handball, basketball, lots of space for kids to ride, rollerblade as well and the play ground to play. Would be nice if the playground area can be clean daily though and keep much more cleaner for the kids to enjoy. Lots of trees cause it’s a pretty large park. I think this space of park is pretty big and should have more events for locals to enjoy. Probably have seasonal stuff on display each season.

I cant wait to go back for a tour. So interesting. My husband is from the neighborhood and remembered passing by there 70 years ago with his Mom. Thank you so much.

Beautiful park to just walk, jog, or chill. I love how on some Beautiful evenings people play soccer. Great place to bring children.

This is a historic park ,one of the main attraction is the museum which rufus king lived at a very long time ago.some times the museum is open to the public. This museum mansion is surrounded by a huge lawn that have seats out there in the summer time. The park also has a huge soccer field that is a major attraction in the summer time. This field is occupied with soccer games most of the times. You also have a nice size basketball court over there. Plus a decent size hand ball court.that is surrounded by alot of park benches, and a small playground for the kids . Sometimes this park has some homeless people situation. But it has gotten better over there. You also have a bathroom over there, that is not the best, but they are their.and the park can be really crowded In the summer time, there are so many park benches to choose from to sit down at.And this park is a pretty good place to have picnic at . The park happens to be located right on jamaica Avenue. So if you want some food to eat you have some okay food options in the surrounding area. And there is a police station across the street from the park. Also you can discover the history of Congress man rufus king and all he was apart of in America's history.

Attended fair in park for a community event. Great location for hosting many activities.

Great place to visit and learn the history.

go here almost everyday, it’s my local park and it is pretty big. At night their are a few more homeless people and sometimes it does smell like weed but during the summer many kids go out and play the ice cream stands go through the playground to sell ice cream for the kids. Overall nice park.
