Located in Astoria, Rainey Park is eight acres of green space along the east river. It just reopened after a several-year, and multi-million dollar, reconstruction. It’s been closed since 2023.

The reconstruction included renovations to the park’s athletic and play areas, sidewalks and green spaces. While the park had faced multiple delays in reopening, the New York City Parks Department held a ribbon cutting ceremony July 9 that showcased the park's updated features.

NYC Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa said that her department is “committed to ensuring that our greenspaces not only meet the diverse needs of our communities, but also provide equitable access to high-quality recreational opportunities for all New Yorkers.”
