I had a two hour commute from LI to Manhattan yesterday and while passing College Point, I decided to visit McNeil Park as I had never been there before. LGA was on 22 for arrivals and 31 for deps.
The weather was horrible (light wise) and perfect for simple scouting/testing. Bad results would not be wasted on good light :tongue:
Well, I love the place... getting there via College Point Blvd. on a Friday afternoon could want to make you commit suicide .. ugh, the traffic and narrow streets do not help one bit. Getting out is just as bad even if you take the route I took towards the Whitestone Bridge instead of back to the Whitestone Exp./GCP route.
Once at the park though, you are rewarded with peaceful streets, very quiet neighborhood and great people.
