Buried stream in Queens, New York
Newtown High School athletic field, a largely undeveloped space atop Horse Brook's former path
Horse Brook is a buried stream located in the neighborhood of Elmhurst in the New York City borough of Queens . Its historic course flows beneath Queens Center Mall , Rego Center Mall , LeFrak City , and the Long Island Expressway , before emptying into Flushing Creek in present-day Flushing Meadows-Corona Park .[1] East River .
Horse Brook's headwaters were near Kneeland Avenue and Codwise Place.[2] [3] [4]
The only remaining traces of Horse Brook today are the mega-blocks on the map that avoided development in the early 20th century. These blocks, which include the sites of Queens Center Mall and LeFrak City, remained vacant until the 1960s.[5] [2] Libra Triangle , another small park at Justice Avenue and Broadway, is also located atop the stream.[6]
