About Ozone Park
Where to stay in Ozone Park
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Hotel rooms are thin on these blocks. Most of Ozone Park is low-rise housing and small storefronts rather than hotels, so travellers who want to be close usually look to South Ozone Park, where the Resorts World Casino & Hotel stands beside the Aqueduct Racetrack. That pairing puts rooms, dining, and the grandstand on one plot.
If you are here for the Thoroughbred racing, that side suits best; otherwise Ozone Park itself gives a quieter, largely residential foothold within the Queens borough of New York City.
About Ozone Park
What are the main landmarks in Ozone Park?
Racing is the headline draw. Aqueduct Racetrack, just over the line in South Ozone Park, has long been a Thoroughbred venue, and the Resorts World Casino & Hotel beside it keeps the site in use well past the last race. Closer in, the register is smaller: the Corporal George J. Wellbrock Memorial is the dedication recorded on Ozone Park's own streets, a neighborhood marker rather than a destination.
What is the history of Ozone Park?
The neighborhood's story is one of arrivals. A large Italian-American community gave Ozone Park much of its long-standing character, and later arrivals of Caribbean, Hispanic, and Asian background reshaped the same low-rise streets. Racing runs alongside that.
Thoroughbred meetings at the Aqueduct Racetrack next door have shaped the wider area's rhythm, drawing crowds into South Ozone Park, where the Resorts World Casino & Hotel shares the ground.
Where is Ozone Park?
The neighborhood fills part of the southwestern section of Queens, running up against South Ozone Park, where the Aqueduct Racetrack stands.
