:arrow: Bayswater Point State Park, Popular Kennedy Airport Planespotting Location, to Close April 1st
Bayswater Point State Park, popular with planespotters for its prime views of JFK International Airport is slated to become a victim of massive budget cuts when the new fiscal year begins April 1st. [Full Article]
That's bad news. :(
RATS! No seriously... there are tons of them there. But that is besides the point. This is a major bummer. In the spring time and certainly the early days of summer this is my favorite spotting location bar none. Best view and most relaxing. I hope they decide to keep it open without MX. Anyone intrested in buying a lawn mower!?
Very disappointing news and like Ryan said, I hope they keep it open. It's a great spot in the Spring/Fall even in the winter though its really cold.
Boooo...sucks!!! I love Bayswater - have been there on every trip to NY! I hope they keep it open but not maintained!
My favorite place.... Maybe its a good chance for spotters form NY ?? to talk to someone about taking care of this place ?? and make a Bayswater Spotting Park ?? some cleaning, time to time and anything else about "taking care" of the place.... Some donation program on the website, I know Phil and crew can do a lot in NY :) just don't take me wrong I know you guys have much more important thing to do... Im just giving little Ideas....
I hope even if they will close Bayswater we will be able to use this place.... I love Bayswater.....
This sucks. I have fond memories of a ever-so-slightly brisk May morning there with Andy and Mark lol! This is a huge loss for all of us for sure.
I know Andy and I well never forget it either! Of course, knowing you are Canadian explains that morning a whole lot more Eh :lol:Quote:

I can't imagine the spot being completely shuttered....maybe just not maintained....even though it wasn't very maintained to begin with.
We will have to wait and see. That's a pretty vital spotting location for us.
lol shane you would...
This is bummer! im not happy to hear about this... Bayswater was one of my favorate places to be at.. I hope it doesnt close, Im praying for that
Bayswater is maintained now? Wow I couldn't tell...Quote:
but not maintained
You don't close parks to save money, the idea of a public park isn't to make money but to better society. NYS Gov't is a total disgrace....
That guy who drives around on the tractor once in awhile probably makes $200K. :cry:Quote:
