Bring Better Pet Care to Forest Hills, Queens

Forest Hills is a leafy, residential neighborhood in central Queens anchored by the landmark Forest Hills Gardens — a private planned community of Tudor-style homes, winding streets, and the West Side Tennis Club where the US Open was held until 1978. The Gardens are among the most beautiful residential blocks in New York City, with mature trees, stone-paved streets, and a village-like atmosphere, though they are a private community with controlled access. The surrounding neighborhood features a mix of apartment buildings, attached homes, and co-ops along the commercial strips.

The main public green space is Forest Park, a 538-acre park along the southern and western edges that provides extensive wooded trails, a golf course, and open meadows. The park has a fenced dog run near the Forest Park Drive entrance, and the Victory Trail and other paths wind through one of the largest remaining old-growth oak forests in the city. Austin Street is the main commercial strip, with a suburban-style shopping district that includes restaurants, cafes, and pet supply stores.

The E, F, M, R trains stop at Forest Hills-71st Avenue, providing direct subway access to Manhattan. The neighborhood's suburban character, tree canopy, and park proximity make it one of the most comfortable dog-walking environments in Queens. Rates are moderate, reflecting the neighborhood's middle-to-upper-middle-class profile. Summers are pleasant under the extensive tree cover, and Forest Park's wooded trails stay cool even on hot days. Winters bring standard weather with the park's sheltered trails offering wind protection.
