Kissena Park (40°44′41.5823″N, 73°48′16.7400″W) is a large park (234.762 acres, or 0.950048 km²) located in the neighborhood of Flushing in the New York City borough of Queens. It is bordered on the west by Kissena Boulevard; on the north by Rose, Oak, Underhill, and Lithonia Avenues; on the east by Fresh Meadow Lane; and on the south by Booth Memorial Avenue. Within its boundaries it contains a large lake, Kissena Lake, surrounded by playgrounds; a velodrome for speed bicycling; and a number of soccer fields, tennis courts, and baseball fields. It is a frequented location for bicyclists, joggers, walkers, and runners. It was recently restored, mostly in 2004.
