Immigrants from India, the Caribbean, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, and many other locations have made this section of the city a cultural melting pot.
Along nearby Hillside Avenue, a variety of small, locally owned West Indian, Bangladeshi, Colombian, Jamaican, Asian, and Ecuadorian restaurants make this part of the city a delight for anyone looking to expand their culinary horizons.
Jameco Park is located just around the corner from Rufus King Park, an 11.5-acre greenspace that celebrates Rufus King – a New York senator, one of the authors of the Constitution, and an early abolitionist.
Along with a gazebo, soccer field, children’s play area, and basketball courts, the park is also home to King Manor Museum, a charming colonial house that celebrates the life of this accomplished forefather.
Located at 148-15 89th Ave, Jameco Park is near plenty of public transportation.
It’s positioned near the Sutphin Boulevard subway station - which is serviced by the D,E,F, and Q lines – as well as the Jamaica Ave/150 St Bus Stop. Proximity to the Long Island Railroad and other forms of public transportation make it easy to commute into Manhattan or other sections of the city.
