Today’s news:  Treat Flushing Meadows with respect  Flushing
Meadows Corona Park is the second-most used park in the city
municipal park system. It also has the dubious distinction of
being the most abused, pillaged and neglected of any major park
in the system.  When the Mets and the United States Tennis
