Best Things to Do in Queens NYC for 4/20 (Parks, Views & Local Spots)
Highland Park (Queens/Brooklyn Border)
If you like getting ‘high’, Highland Park is one of the best spots to spend 4/20. The rolling hills give you an expansive view stretching from Queens into Brooklyn, making it a perfect place for a higher perspective.
Music Pairing: Cypress Hill – Black Sunday
Tracks like ‘I Wanna Get High’ hit differently when you have panoramic views from East New York to Woodhaven.
Cannabis Pairing: Go with a heavy-hitting strain (like a Gorilla Glue profile) to match the deep bass and slow tempo.
Fun Fact: The rap group Cypress Hill is named after a street in South Gate, Los Angeles while one of its founding members, Lawrence Muggerud (also known as DJ Muggs), was born in Queens before moving West as a teen.
Baisley Pond Park (Queens)
Baisley Pond Park offers open space, water views of a 30-acre pond, and a slower pace, which is perfect if you’re trying to unwind without leaving Queens.
Music Pairing: 50 Cent – ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’ & Lloyd Banks – ‘The Hunger for More’
This is South Jamaica energy with iconic grittiness deeply rooted in Queens.
Cannabis Pairing: A balanced hybrid works best here for keeping you relaxed while you walk the park or find a spot to chill by the pond.
Fun Fact: 50 Cent’s grandmother lived about a mile from Baisley Pond Park, where he survived a near-fatal shooting before his debut album release.

If your 4/20 plans include a view of Jamaica Bay, outdoor food, and a full day in the sun, Canarsie Pier delivers. Part of the Gateway National Recreation Area, it’s a go-to for fishing, BBQs, and having those long conversations with friends.
Music Pairing: Pop Smoke – Welcome to the Party, Aim for the Moon
Canarsie is home turf for Brooklyn drill, and Pop Smoke’s energy sets the tone for a more active 4/20 experience.
Cannabis Pairing: Go with something uplifting like sativa flower that keeps the energy up if you’re out all day.
Bonus Stop:
Check out the Pop Smoke mural on 81-25 Flatlands Avenue to tap directly into Brooklyn music history.
