Flushing Meadows Park New York.. A Journey.

This Video is a brief visual history of Flushing Meadows Park. This New York City Park located in Flushing Queens. This includes ground based and aerial shots from present day 2009 to photos from the 1939 Worlds Fair and the 1964 and 1965 World's Fair.

Think of it as a dream one would take back to the past and then back to present day again while keeping this place close to ones heart as if you spent precious time there.

I am not from N.Y.C. , I am from Holland, Europe, but I can feel the passion with which this video was made, very good music too. I know this park through playing the game Grand Theft Auto 4, and became interested in NY landmarks like this and the Coney Island theme park. Nice to see the history behind it. Very nice video.

I was there once in 1965 as a 10 year old and this is very well done it brought me back to a much different time. I love what you have done thank you " I get it" well done......

nice video - that seems a beautiful park and i still cant believe how NY authorities have not restored the remainign buildings of the NYWF- I remmber since i was a kid how the Unisphere looked so symbolic , a new York symbol for the world, and for those who live abroad its still an attraction- please restore and give it the status it deserves!

what kind of camcorder did you use for the ground shots?

[jameshagerstrom]

I love this video. Many, many thanks for posting it. I went to the World's Fair as a kid in 1964, and 1965. It was magical to me then. I even went pack to Flushing Meadows in 2009 and 2010 to see the site now. I am glad some things are still there. The Panorama Of New York is still amazing. I hope the NY State Pavilion can be restored.

Ever since Epcot Center I have loved Expos. I would love to see a permanent Worlds Fair come to that area. We can use the employment LOL.

One of the BEST movies I have EVER seen about the park that was the World Fair. I have seen it from the air landing in NYC. I always really wondered how it looked today. Why can't the state of NY preserve this place and make it a tourist attraction at least. I pretty much defines the idea that the people had of what the future would be......"And look at us now" I would go see this site.....pretty damn cool . Would you?? let me know by response

[squinney]

Great.  I am so fascinated by the 50's.....Was born in 64 but....maybe born late??

What a great video, loved the aerial shots. I grew up in Flushing and was 11 and 12 when the fair was on. My mother and neighbor worked there so I spent alot of time at the fair. Flushing Meadows never got the respect that some other NYC parks got. NYC officials really doesn't appreciate what a great park they have. It’s great to see it during the winter, very peaceful. Loved the then and now shots. Thanks for a great video.
