This image was taken by a drone in the southern portion of Hunter's Point South Park. From here, you'll be able to frame the cantilevered platform, Long Island City and Midtown Manhattan. The corner of Center Blvd and 54th Ave also provides a good quiet location to take off your drone with visibility of the park in all four directions. By Subway: - Closest Station: Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue (7 Train) - Walk west on 50th Avenue - Turn left on Center Boulevard, then walk till the end of the park. If you drive, you can either street park or park in one of the nearby garages.
