I am leading a walking tour of my neighborhoods of South Ozone Park and South Richmond Hill, an area which has come to be known as “Little Guyana”. The walk will take approximately 2 hours and will begin at the 88th Street A train stop and end at Ozone Park, Lefferts Boulevard. I will talk about the neighborhood’s evolution, from the story behind its name, to famous residents (living and deceased) and what it is like to live here today. Attendees should wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and come prepared to learn about the history and cultures of this slice of Southeast Jamaica, Queens.
Accessibility
The distance is approximately 2.5 miles walking - there are multiple subway stops along the way if anyone needs to leave the tour early. There will be at least one bathroom accessible along the route. The route is mainly flat and we will be on paved, sometimes busy sidewalks. Citibike is not available; metered and unmetered street parking is limited so early arrival is encouraged. The closest accessible subway stops are at the Euclid Avenue A (three stops from the start of the tour) and Ozone Park, Lefferts Boulevard (the last stop on the tour).
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
