Metropolitan Park Arrival
Community First Vision
The 25 acre park’s design, by the local team of SHoP Architects (Domino Park) and Field Ops (The High Line, Domino Park), integrates input, ideas, and feedback collected from 15 community workshops, hundreds of meetings with local leaders, and over 20,000 door-to-door conversations with our neighbors. At the same time, it pays homage to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park’s iconic World’s Fair history and architecture, and the storied history of the Mets, Shea Stadium, and Citi Field.

Metropolitan Park 25 Acre Public Park
Transforming Asphalt to 25 Acres of Public Park
Parks and public space are essential to any community, and Citi Field shouldn’t be an exception. Metropolitan Park will have 20 acres of new public park space and 5 acres of community athletic fields and playgrounds. This represents more new park and community space than Bryant Park, the High Line, and Union Square Park combined.

Investing in Public Infrastructure and Transportation
Metropolitan Park is an opportunity to connect the surrounding neighborhoods, expand waterfront access, increase walkability and cycling access, and improve transportation options in ways that will benefit the entire community. A multi-million investment in public infrastructure improvements, including transforming the Mets-Willets Point 7 Train station, will create a welcoming, accessible entrance to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park as well as Citi Field and Willets Point.
