“All of us at Friends of Crocheron & John Golden Park are incredibly grateful to Cord Meyer for their continued support,” said Burke. “Partnerships like this make a meaningful difference in our ability to maintain and improve the park. We look forward to kicking off another year together at the Cord Meyer Park Cleanup on April 25.”

Founded in 1904, Cord Meyer Development is a Queens real estate owner and developer whose Bay Terrace Shopping Center is located less than one mile from Crocheron Park. The company recently announced plans for a new rental community at the center, to be built on underutilized upper-level parking areas off 26th Avenue.
According to Forgione, construction is expected to continue for approximately two years, with the center remaining open for business throughout. Visitors to upper-level tenants AMC, PM Pediatrics, Mito, and Five Guys are directed to use the shopping center’s main entrance on Bell Boulevard and proceed directly to the parking garage.
“With construction underway at the Bay Terrace Shopping Center, we are busier than ever, but it’s important that we continue to support the community in meaningful ways,” said Forgione. “Sponsoring Friends of Crocheron & John Golden Park is central to that commitment. We’re proud to play a role in the work Jessica and her team are doing, including the many events that bring the community into the park and keep it top of mind. That collective effort has helped bring renewed attention to long-needed park maintenance, including the significant restoration of the twin gazebos secured by Councilmember Paladino.”
Founded in 2020, Friends of Crocheron & John Golden Park works in partnership with NYC Parks to support environmental stewardship, preservation, and community engagement throughout Crocheron Park and the adjoining John Golden Park.
