Moving to East Elmhurst? Here’s a list of
Our Favorite East Elmhurst Attractions,
Hot Spots, and Restaurants
- Elmhurst Park – This city green space offers six acres of jogging trails, playgrounds and more. It is one of the favorite parks of the neighborhood.
- Queens Center – This shopping mall offers a compact, yet exhaustive assortment of big box stores, restaurants, and more really close to home.
- Flushing Meadows Corona Park – First and foremost it should be noted that the park is about 1-3 miles away from Elmhurst. However, the proximity is still something to be taken advantage of, as this is one of NYC’s largest, most iconic, and most unique parks. The 1964 World’s Fair took place within the park’s 897 acres, and today the park offers every sport under the sun, from tennis to kayaking. The park is also the site of the following institutions:
- Elmhurst Sculpture Garden – This public space is only 10’ x 10’, but its purpose is special and community oriented and reflects the values of Elmhurst as a whole. The space is meant to be an incubator for local artists to display their outdoor art and give back to the community by revitalizing overgrown lots into enjoyable city spaces.
