Ozone Park, Queens, New York

(Redirected from Ozone Park)

Ozone Park is a New York City neighborhood located in the southwestern part of Queens bordering Woodhaven, Richmond Hill, Howard Beach, and the borough of Brooklyn. The north border is Atlantic avenue, west border is Drew Street (City-Line), south border is South Conduit, and the east is 108th street. Ozone Park is known for as the hometown of famous people like Bernadette Peters and Cyndi Lauper. It is also the home of the Aqueduct Racetrack, a popular spot for thoroughbred racing. The makeup of the neighborhood has historically been mostly Italian, Irish and Polish, but recent immigrants from South Asia and South America have come into the neighborhood.

There are many bus routes that run through Ozone Park. The Q41 runs on Rockaway Boulevard, Q112 runs on Liberty Avenue which the service also runs on the street as well, the Q8 which runs on 101st avenue, and the Q24 runs on Atlantic avenue.

Ozone Park was a center for mafia activities until the early 1990's. John Gotti had his club here and would host a huge block party and fireworks show along 101st Avenue every July 4th. After he went to prison, neighborhood residents protested his incarceration.

Mayor Rudolph Giuliani became very unpopular here in late 1990's when he denied local residents permits to host similar block parties along 101st Avenue.
