		The park is nowhere near as well-kept as the more 'socially acceptable' parks in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and maybe that's why most Queens residents don't come by.
		In the center of the park is the coolest outdoor sculpture in New York City, 'The Globe.' It has been featured in several hiphop videos and on the covers of several albums including the Beastie Boys' Licensed To Ill, Craig Mack's Project: Funk Da World, and of course Levi Asher's gentle folk-rock outing, Queensboro Ballads.
		The park was largely built for the '39-'40 fair, though most of the buildings date from the '64-'65 event.
