Review:
Astoria Park is a 60-acre public park along Queens' East River waterfront within the Astoria neighborhood, overseen by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The park is home to the city's largest and oldest public swimming pool, which was used for events during the 1936 and 1964 Summer Olympic Games. Visitors can play bocce, tennis, and basketball on courts throughout the park or bring children to two children's playgrounds, including the unique Charybdis Playground, named after the Scylla and Charybdis water features in Homer's Odyssey. Other attractions include a bandstand offering public concerts and the Long Island War Memorial, designed by architectural firm Ruehl and Warren. Annual public special events held at the park include a Fourth of July concert by the Queens Symphony Orchestra.
