CORONA — Parkgoers can share their ideas and brainstorm on fixes for the borough's largest greenspace at a community forum this weekend.
The Design Trust for Public Space, the Parks Department and the Queens Museum will host the first of two forums on Sunday, March 1 to share ideas from the community on plans to improve Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. It will be held at the Queens Museum and begins at 3:30 p.m.
At the forum, the team of community advisors selected from neighborhood civic groups and organizations will share the results of their months of meetings, organizers said.
The members have been broken up into teams focusing on specific issues at the park, including access and navigation, and have come up with fixes for some of the problems.
Members of the public can weigh in on these ideas then break off into groups to share their own ideas.
The forums are part of a larger effort to improve the park from the Design Trust for Public Space, a nonprofit group that sparked conversations about the High Line.
They are also part of a project developed by the Design Trust in a partnership with the Queens Museum and the Parks.
They've worked with the community to refine the proposal for improvements to the park, which is the biggest in Queens.
