Day 400
Forest Park
February 2nd, 2013
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Where do I begin about Forest Park? This park is quite vast, with many hiking and bridal trails, a golf course, a carousel, a kettle pond, abandoned train tracks, and a paved road that runs through it where I have rode my bike countless times under the thick canvas of trees. It feels like hundreds of miles away from New York City, but is smack dab in the middle of the city. I have gotten lost a few times there, but enjoyed the challenge of figuring my way out of the maze of trails. The kettle pond is quite a hidden gem down a sloped path from the main road just off of Woodhaven Blvd. As much as I’ve seen of Forest Park, I still haven’t seen it all.
