Bayswater Point State Park

Story

Bayswater Point State Park is a 17acre state park located on Jamaica Bay in Queens, New York. The park is located at the western end of Mott Avenue in Far Rockaway and is built on land that once housed the mansion and estate of banker Louis A. Heinsheimer.HistoryThe land that is now occupied by Bayswater Point State Park was once home to "Breezy Point", an expansive mansion built in 1907 by New York City banker Louis A. Heinsheimer. In 1925, the mansion was converted into a home for disabled children, and it was later used as a home for children with intellectual disabilities before being put on the market in the late 1980s.A 12acre parcel that was to become Bayswater Point State Park was purchased by the Trust for Public Land in 1986. The mansion, which by that point had been damaged by fire, was demolished in 1987 prior to the land being given to New York State in 1988; only the conservatory was left standing.New York State designated the land as a state park in 1991, and gave the New York City Audubon Society administrative duties over the park. Between 1994 and 1996, the Audubon Society conducted a research and restoration project at Bayswater Point, seeking to engage the public with the land's conservation.In early May 2010, the park was briefly closed to the public as a result of budget cuts, along with 57 additional state parks and historic sites. However, by month's end an agreement had been reached to re-open many of the parks, including Bayswater Point. In 2015, an $80,000 improvement project to stabilize Sunset Lodge at the park was announced.

I love the scenery and the tennis courts just a great place to hang out the issue is the tennis courts don't get maintenance that often the issues with them are minor one of them the net is a little ripped and the paint is very faded

This park is very quiet. Not many visitors. But you can see airplanes landing on the right hand side of the park.

A great place to sit and watch the water. Trees for shade and also sun. Lots of nature to enjoy. You are right at the end of a small peninsula, able to walk down to the water's edge. May see ducks, swans other birds. Can feed seed to the birds if you bring it. Quiet and peaceful place for family outing or for contemplation alone.
