The Brooklyn-Queens Greenway is a partially-completed path connecting parks and roads in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, connecting Coney Island in the south to Little Neck Bay in the north. When completed, the 22-mile (35 km) route, will connect city landmarks, such as the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Shea Stadium.[1]

The Greenway is being developed under the joint auspices of the New York City Department of Transportation and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.

The route includes portions of existing bike routes along Eastern Parkway and Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn, and in Alley Pond Park, Cunningham Park, Forest Park, Kissena Park and Ridgewood Reservoir in Queens.
