Horse Racing, also known as The Sport of Kings, has roots in NYC dating back to 1665. This week we'll do a loop visiting both Aqueduct Racetrack in Ozone Park and Belmont Racetrack on the Queens/Nassau border, home of the final leg of the Triple Crown. Turning the corner, we'll get a chance to explore the parks and residential neighborhoods surrounding JFK International Airport.
Cross Bay Boulevard is the star of our trip to South Queens, taking us back and forth over Jamaica Bay and through the corresponding wildlife refuge. We tag up at Bayswater and Far Rockaway before heading back home, getting a look at Spring Creek Park in Howard Beach before catching the J train at Van Siclen Avenue and heading home.
