Do the tour!! Appreciate the history. Beautiful walls for photography. Tunnels and canons.- Colleen LevineApril 4, 2012Great playground with big & little kid structures -- but a long walk uphill to get to it!
- Jeremy WilcoxAugust 31, 2014No parking in Fort Totten; go find street parking in Bay Terrace before heading over.

Steve ToremJune 19, 2010Don't even think about parking in the small lot directly adjacent to the dock and boat ramp. There's undercover tow trucks that look like ordinary pickup trucks. You won't even know it happened.
M M.July 10, 2014The Fort Totten Pool employees are rude, disrespectful and extremely ghetto. They (men and women) STARE at women and young girls and use profanity loudly and carelessly. It is also very crowded.
Jeff PetrielloMay 25, 2011They're pretty good about filming permits here, nice location to shoot in!
- NYC ParksJanuary 27, 2012Peer across the Long Island Sound through stately Civil War-era structures.
DjArDeZJuly 23, 2012This pool is disgusting!!!! Went there once, and caught pink eye. Not only that, it's over crowded and the lines are horrible. Not worth it, even if it's free.

"One of Fresh Meadow's hidden gems. Tucked away on 164th street, this enormous park is stroller, runner, bicyclist, children and elderly friendly. One of my local safe havens for great writing."
