Flushing Meadows Corona Park is one of the loveliest urban parks in the world. Each year millions of people visit. Also, every day in summer and spring, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, known for its large globe or Unisphere attracts neighborhood residents and far-away residents who hail from over forty countries.
