"Queens has over 295,000 mapped trees more than any other borough making it one of the most magical places in the fall to see leaves transform into majestic shades of orange and yellow. There's no better way to celebrate the season than by getting outside with the family, strolling through tree-lined parks, taking a scenic hike or enjoying a picnic by a pond. Queens offers plenty of spots to soak in the beauty of autumn foliage."
"One of the largest parks in Queens, Alley Pond Park is overflowing with over 1.5 thousand trees like pin oaks, dogwoods and red oaks whose leaves are soon to cascade into autumnal colors. It's also home to the Queens Giant, a tulip tree which is thought to be the oldest (350 years old) and tallest (133.8 ft) in the New York City metro area."
"Known for its wooded paths and historic trees, Kissena Park offers a quiet retreat in Flushing. Its roots trace back to the 19th century, when it began as part of a horticultural nursery. The park's trails wind through clusters of maples, oaks, and sweetgums that turn brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall. It's a great option for a peaceful weekend walk or bike ride."
