Meadows Park is the name of a large, public park and its adjacent community in central Dukes. It is bordered to north by Dukes Bay; the Dukes Bay Bridge, Hewes Street and San Jacinto Avenue to the west (Steinway and East Island City); Charleston Avenue and Savannah Avenue to the southwest (Cerveza Heights); Tudor Street to the southwest (Meadow Hills and Willis); and the Broker-Dukes Expressway to the east (Francis International Airport).
Character
The residential area of Meadows Park along Savannah Avenue is reminscent of quaint, upscale neighborhoods in New York City such as Brooklyn Heights and Gramercy, featuring rows of brownstones.
Points of interest
The park is home to The Monoglobe and Liberty State Pavillion Towers.
Influences
Meadows Park is based on Flushing Meadows Park in Queens, New York. Its Monoglobe is a replica of the Unisphere, while the Pavillion Towers are obviously supposed to be the New York State Pavilion.
Transport
The Liberty City Subway does not stop at Meadows Park, even though it runs along half of the perimeter of the park, even cutting through it at one point. However, Huntington Street station, in Cerveza Heights, is only a very short distance away from Meadows Park and may be used by its residents.
