Exploring the Elegance of Forest Hills Gardens

Let's walk and meander through Forest Hills Gardens, a private enclave within the larger neighborhood of Forest Hills, with its Tudor-style townhouses, apartment buildings, and manicured gardens.

We'll meet outside the Forest Hills/71st Avenue station at 2:00 pm; approx. 10 minutes later, we'll begin walking to Station Square and circling along Burns Avenue, eventually travelling along Greenway South and Tennis Place to the West Side Tennis Club/Stadium area (where the US Open was originally contested), concluding our walk from there.

Afterwards, we can walk to the newly opened Forest Hills Pizzeria (at 9 Station Square, across from LIRR), have a bite to eat, and then say our farewells.

The group for this event will be limited to 5 people max (including myself). If you RSVP, and are suddenly unable to attend, please kindly remove yourself from the "going" list; that way the next person in the waitlist line can take your place.

Please bookmark this page for any periodical updates pertaining to this event; If there is rain in the forecast, I will make a final decision by the early morning of the event, or earlier.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
There is no public parking at Forest Hills Gardens, and the roads surrounding Forest Hills Stadium will be closed off due to event taking place that evening. So taking public transportation to get here is strongly encouraged. More on Forest Hills Stadium's recommendations on arriving by public transit are detailed on their page here.

Also, if you travel around Queens, please note the MTA's Queens Bus Redesign has taken effect this summer; several routes that run near the Forest Hills area have seen numerous bus stop changes. Learn more about the project here.

More updates will follow as we get closer to the event.

Hope to see you then!
