Public park in New York City
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yellowstone Park is a small (1.75-acre (0.71 ha)) municipal park in Forest Hills, a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens. The park is bounded by Yellowstone Boulevard, 68th Avenue, and 68th Road. Land for the park was acquired by the city in 1964 with the park opening to the public on May 27, 1968. The park contains Basketball courts, restrooms, playgrounds, and a dog-friendly area.[1] The park's playground is named after City Council member Arthur Katzman, who advocated for construction of a park on the site.[2]
