==Parks along Rockaway Boulevard==
As Rockaway Boulevard cuts diagonally through the rectangular street grid of southeastern Queens, triangular intersections that were too small to develop were designated as parks. These include Legion Triangle, Dixon Triangle, [[Lynch Triangle]], Ruoff Triangle, Corporal Ruoff Square, Wellbrook Triangle, O'Connell Square, [[Catholic War Veterans Triangle]], and Sergeant Colyer Square. Larger parks along the route include Playground One Forty, [[Baisley Pond Park]], and Idlewild Park.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}}
==Transportation==
Rockaway Boulevard is served by the following:
* The [[IND Fulton Street Line]] ({{NYCS Fulton east}} train) of the [[New York City Subway]] has a [[Rockaway Boulevard (IND Fulton Street Line)|station]] located at the intersection of [[Cross Bay Boulevard|Cross Bay]], Rockaway, [[Woodhaven Boulevard|Woodhaven]] Boulevards, and [[Liberty Avenue (New York City)|Liberty Avenue]].
* The {{NYC bus link|Q7}} is the primary bus server of the boulevard, running between 150th Street and the Rockaway Boulevard station, the two rush hour terminals.<ref>[http://mta.info/busco/schedules/q007cur.pdf Q7] bus schedule</ref> Under the Queens Bus Redesign, it has been proposed to reroute the Q7 further along the boulevard to its western end.
* The {{NYC bus link|Q6}} runs on the corridor between [[Sutphin Boulevard]] and Farmers Boulevard.<ref>[http://mta.info/busco/schedules/q006cur.pdf Q6] bus schedule</ref>
* The {{NYC bus link|Q113}} and {{NYC bus link|Q114}} run between Guy R. Brewer Boulevard and [[New York State Route 878|Nassau Expressway]]. The Q113 heads west on the expressway, while the Q114 continues on the Turnpike portion to Mott Avenue. It is joined by the N31 from West Broadway, which continues until Central Avenue.
* {{NYC bus link|Q10}} local buses serve the boulevard between Lefferts Boulevard and 130th Street. Under the Redesign, this portion is to be eliminated as all Q10 buses would be labeled “Limited”.
* The {{NYC bus link|Q37}} runs between 114th Street and either Aqueduct Road ([[Aqueduct Racetrack]]/Resorts Casino), or 111th Street (Q37B).
* The {{NYC bus link|Q41}} runs between the Rockaway Boulevard station and 109th Avenue.
* The {{NYC bus link|Q40}} runs between 142nd and 143rd Streets.
* Westbound {{NYC bus link|Q112}} buses run from 99th Street to the Rockaway Boulevard station, where it terminates.
Under the Redesign, a new route would also terminate at the Rockaway Boulevard station, but provide service from Linden Boulevard. Cambria Heights-bound service would originate at 99th Street. This route would be given the Q51 label.
