Queensbridge Park

Queensbridge Park sits right at the edge of the East River, serving as a waterfront anchor for the surrounding community. Its history is tied directly to the massive housing complex across the street, which opened in nineteen thirty-nine as the largest public housing development in the world. When you look toward the water, you are standing on land that was once part of an industrial waterfront, completely transformed in the late nineteen thirties to provide green space for the thousands of families moving into the newly built Queensbridge Houses.
