Flushing Meadows Park - Address and Directions

This week the email has come in asking for a Flushing Meadows address. Folks from out of town just don't realize how big the park is, much bigger than Central Park, but here are a few tips.

• Flushing Meadows is in Corona and Flushing, two neighborhoods of Queens, New York.
• Public transportation is the best way to Flushing Meadows. Take the #7 subway or LIRR.
• Google Map of Flushing Meadows.
• Directions to Flushing Meadows from the major highways.
• Most buildings in the park don't have a real address. They just use the park's name.
• Shea Stadium's address is useful, but most park activities are south of Shea and Roosevelt Avenue:
  • Shea Stadium, 123-01 Roosevelt Ave, Flushing, NY 11368
• The park's center is the Unisphere -- a giant, steel globe that's easy to spot.
• Most concerts and festivals in Flushing Meadows are held on a stage just south of the Unisphere, including this weekend's Billy Graham Crusade.
