VariousThere are many parks with forests in NYC, but only one Forest Park! Numerous trails wind through native hardwood (oak-hickory) forest and kettle ponds in the park, home to the continuous oak forest in the city. Discover a century-old pine grove on the orange trail, go birding at Strack Pond on your way through the red trail, and check out some of the park's historic sites, including the Richmond Hill War Memorial and The Carousel.
