Three QueensWay Workshops Will Be Held in November

A series of workshops will be held this month to educate Forest Hills residents on the upcoming QueensWay park project.

The project involves transforming 3.5 miles of abandoned railroad into a 55-acre park that would provide space for biking, walking and jogging, but also public art, food events and recreational activities, such as yoga.

Travis Terry, of Friends of the GreenWay, said that three upcoming workshops will be held to discuss the project. The events are open to the public, but those who want to attend should RSVP in advance.

During the workshops, attendees will also be able to share ideas for the park and propose recreational and educational opportunities for the site.

The first workshop will be held at Woodhaven’s Emanuel Christ Church, located at 93-12 91st Ave., while the second will take place on Nov. 19 at Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School, located at 91-30 Metropolitan Ave. in Forest Hills.

The final meeting will be on Nov. 20 at the Ozone Park Senior Center, located at 103-02 101st Ave.

All three workshops will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Planning consultants for the QueensWay – WXY Architecture + Urban Design and Hester Street Collaborative – will attend the workshops.
