Planeview Park (Ditmars Boulevard)

A small park on Ditmars Boulevard directly under the approach path to LaGuardia, where arrivals pass low overhead. Basic but clean, with easy highway access. You can watch from your vehicle. Limited seating, so bring a chair. Worth checking a tracking app first - LaGuardia switches landing direction frequently and the action can stop abruptly.

Lens guide

24-70mm for aircraft directly overhead; 70-200mm further down the approach.

Best time

Open 06:00-22:00. Check Flightradar24 before travelling - a runway change ends the show entirely.

Parking

Easy parking, straightforward highway access. Easier at weekends.
