Park offering trails, playgrounds and a Civil War fort, plus views of the Long Island Sound.
Fort Totten Park features a public outdoor swimming pool that typically operates during the summer months.

Walking through Fort Totten Park was such a pleasant experience for me. I enjoy visiting different places around New York, and this park truly felt like a discovery. It’s calm, open, and perfect for just walking back and forth alone, thinking or simply enjoying the fresh air. There’s something special about finding a quiet corner like this in such a big city. I really appreciate that New York has places like Fort Totten Park where you can slow down, recharge, and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere.

Fort Totten Park is absolutely beautiful — a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether you're looking to take a peaceful walk by the water, explore historic landmarks, or just relax in nature, this park has something for everyone. The views of the Long Island Sound are stunning, especially at sunset. The greenery is well-maintained, and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. There’s also a great mix of open space, shaded areas, and walking paths. Highly recommend for a quiet afternoon stroll or a scenic spot to unwind. One of Queens' best-kept secrets!

Fort Totten Park offers a welcoming environment where exercise is a popular pastime, with joggers, bikers, and rollerbladers enjoying the scenic waterfront paths, while others use the fields for sports or the pool for swimming. The park's open spaces and well-maintained trails are perfect for a refreshing workout, providing beautiful views of the Throgs Neck and Whitestone Bridges, making it a prime location for hundreds of fitness enthusiasts during the coarse of the day.

This place is very beautiful and quiet we took a walk in between the buildings on the weekend and it was completely quiet and deserted, we saw a few soldiers walking around like us and a few families riding bicycles. It's very maintained and most of the buildings are occupied by FDNY and other Park offices

Beautiful well kept a park, completely ruined by dog owners. If you want to have a nice picnic with your family after work go somewhere different. Dogs are kept off the leash in the fields even though they are next to an actual dog park. Went by yesterday and had to fight off a golden retriever and and a fat corgi. I know not exactly scary breeds but I should be allowed to eat with my family with out the constant harassment of unleashed dogs.
