Malt Drive
Malt Drive Park is a new waterfront public space in Long Island City (opened fall 2024) with a playground, open lawn, dog run, and flood-mitigation features on the East River.
Malt Drive Park opened to the public on October 17, 2024 at the southern edge of Long Island City in Hunter's Point South, Queens, adding three-and-a-half acres of waterfront public space and extending shoreline access by about 700 feet.[Queens Post (QNS)]
The park features a wide, open play lawn and jungle gym for kids, plus wood picnic tables, winding waterfront paths with seating areas, and an enclosed dog run.[TimeOut New York]
Malt Drive Park incorporates flood-mitigation infrastructure, including concrete blocks and other features that promote habitat growth, making it both a recreational and environmental asset.[TimeOut New York]
The park is named after the neighborhood's industrial past—the site was formerly a sugar factory and beer depot before transformation into public green space.[Brooklyn Downtown Star]
A block party celebrated the park's opening on November 16, 2024, from 1pm to 4pm, and admission to the park is free.[TimeOut New York]
