Paseo Park is New York City's largest open street — a 26-block, 1.3-mile stretch of 34th Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens that has been transformed from a car corridor into a pedestrian-first community gathering space. Born during the COVID-19 pandemic and officially co-named by the City in 2024, Paseo Park runs from 69th Street to Junction Boulevard past six public schools.
The corridor features five plaza blocks in front of public schools and a "superblock" in front of its anchor, Travers Park, which includes separate toddler and older-kid playgrounds, spray showers, basketball and handball courts, tennis courts, public restrooms, and a Sunday Greenmarket. Families can stroll, bike, scoot, and enjoy free programming like yoga and Zumba along the full car-free length. A $89 million city redesign is in planning to make the corridor permanently transformed.
