Discover an Overlooked Part of NYC’s Historic Waterfront

Just behind Citi Field, the Mets’ ballpark, you’ll find the World’s Fair Marina on Flushing Bay. While it’s located across Roosevelt Ave. from the rest of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the marina is part of the park and, like many other things in the park, is a remnant from the 1964 World’s Fair. Today the marina is used by private boat owners, fishing and party boat excursions, and dragon boat races. while walkers, bicyclists, birders and picnickers enjoy the bayside promenade. Hear more about this area’s history, find out about the ongoing shoreline restoration project, enjoy the view and get at the truth about the Candela structures – the most neglected and most misunderstood fair relics, which stand at the marina – on this waterfront walk.
