Queens pols and Mets’ owner pave the way for Flushing Skypark greenway at Metropolitan Park

A prominent NYC politician called an ambitious park project near the Mets’ home field a home run for Queens on Sunday.

State Sen. John Liu said during a press conference near Citi Field that legislation will be in the works to pave the way for the new Metropolitan Park casino development in Queens. The move would turn parkland near Citi Field into commercial space.
