Spring Creek Park Beach

Spring Creek Park is a public park along the Jamaica Bay shoreline between the neighborhoods of Howard Beach, Queens, and Spring Creek, Brooklyn, in New York City. Created on landfilled former marshland, the park is mostly an undeveloped nature preserve, with only small portions accessible to the public for recreation.

The beach offers a range of amenities for visitors, including well-maintained restrooms, outdoor showers, and picnic areas with grills. A large parking area ensures ample space for vehicles, while beach chair and umbrella rentals are available for comfort and convenience.

Activities are relatively limited at Spring Creek Park Beach but include swimming, hiking, basketball (with courts nearby), and other activities!

Accessibility is a priority, with wheelchair ramps leading to the beach and ADA-compliant walkways on the sidewalk.

Spring Creek Park Beach has many free parking spots and street parking available.

Spring Creek Park has a softball field nearby for public use!

The area is well known for bird watching as the nature preserve is a migration area for many types of birds.

There are a few nearby restaurants that offer a variety of cuisines, including Chinese, Italian, and American. Some of the popular restaurants in the area include Brother's Ravioli, Davino's Pizzeria, and Gino's – a local pasta and wine restaurant.
