The purpose of each New York City Community Board is to encourage and facilitate the participation of citizens within City government within their communities, and the efficient and effective organization of agencies that deliver municipal services in local communities and boroughs.
Our waterfront area provides the very best views of the City’s skyline, 
especially Astoria Park’s  Shore Boulevard.
