Found Frogs: Community Gardens

Floyd Bennett Field


These were taken at the Community Garden at Floyd Bennett Field, in Jamaica Bay, New York City's first municipal airport. Named for the first pilot to fly over the North Pole, in the 1930s the airfield served as the take-off and landing point for such famous aviators as Wiley Post, Howard Hughes, and Amelia Earhart. Although it was made redundant by the opening of LaGuardia Airport in 1939, it was a key naval air sataion during World War II. Today, it is part of the National Park Service's Gateway National Recreation Area.
