Флашинг-Медоус — Корона-парк

Фла́шинг-Ме́доус — Коро́на-парк (англ. Flushing Meadows–Corona Park) — общественный парк в боро Куинс в Нью-Йорке. Площадью 508 га, парк является вторым по площади в городе (после Пелем-Бей-парка в Бронксе). Парк расположен между автомагистралями Гранд-Сентрал-Паркуэй и I-678. На севере парк ограничен водами пролива Ист-Ривер. К северо-востоку от парка находится район Флашинг, к югу — Кью-Гарденс и Форест-Хилс, к западу — район Корона и к северо-западу — Элмхерст. До прихода европейцев на территории парка проживали индейцы из племени матинекоков. Впоследствии колонисты выращивали в этом месте шпинат и добывали морепродукты. В 1898 году, с образованием «большого» Нью-Йорка, в этом районе была проведена железная дорога. Это привело к стремительной индустриализации территории. В устье реки Флашинг образовались шлаковые отвалы, высота которых достигала 30 метров. В романе «Великий Гэтсби» Фицджеральд писал об этой местности: Почти на полпути между Уэст-Эггом и Нью-Йорком шоссе подбегает к железной дороге и с четверть мили бежит с нею рядом, словно хочет обогнуть стороной угрюмый пустырь. Это настоящая Долина Шлака — призрачная нива, на которой шлак всходит как пшеница, громоздится холмами, сопками, раскидывается причудливыми садами; перед вами возникают шлаковые дома, трубы, дым, поднимающиеся к небу, и, наконец, если очень напряжённо вглядеться, можно увидеть шлаково-серых человечков, которые словно расплываются в пыльном тумане. В середине 1930-х годов территория, на которой ныне расположен парк, была выбрана для проведения всемирной выставки 1939 года. Работы по облагораживанию территории начались в 1937 году под управлением Роберта Мозеса. Совокупная площадь разбитого парка составила 486 га. Среди построенных к выставке сооружений было здание, в котором проводились первые заседания ООН. Ныне его занимает Музей Куинса . Также в парке проводилась всемирная выставка 1964 года. В рамках подготовки к ней были возведены такие сооружения, как «Унисфера» и павильон штата Нью-Йорк, ныне являющиеся доминантами парка, Нью-Йоркский зал науки и стадион Луи Армстронга. В 1967 году парк был передан под юрисдикцию властей Нью-Йорка. Спустя год в нём открылся зоопарк Куинса. В 1997 году по соседству со стадионом Луи Армстронга (он был снесён в 2016 году) был возведён стадион Артура Эша, который является центральной частью Национального теннисного центра имени Билли Джин Кинг. Вместимостью 23 000 человек, стадион Артура Эша является самым большим открытым теннисным стадионом в мире. Здесь ежегодно проходят матчи Открытого чемпионата США по теннису.

Setauket Presbyterian Church and Burial Ground

Setauket Presbyterian Church and Burial Ground, also known as First Presbyterian Church of Brookhaven, is a historic Presbyterian church and cemetery at 5 Caroline Avenue in the hamlet of Setauket, Suffolk County, New York. History The church was built in 1812 in the Federal style and is a three-by-five-bay, heavy timber framed, 38-by-40-foot (12 by 12 m) building sheathed in wood shingles and covered by a gable roof. The center bay features an 11-by-8-foot (3.4 by 2.4 m) bell tower / narthex. The burial ground was established in the 1660s and contains approximately 800 gravesites. The church grounds were the site of a Loyalist fortification that was attacked by Continental Army forces from Connecticut in August 1777. Prior to this, existed an earlier presbyterian church on the village green, which was later burned down after being struck by lightning. The present church was rebuilt in 1812. The burial ground contains the remains of some of the earliest pastors of the church including Nathaniel Brewster (1600–1690), George Phillips (1660–1739) (grandson of Rev. George Phillips), and Benjamin Talmadge (1723–1786) (father of Benjamin Tallmadge), among others. Also many of the founding families of the area are buried here including the Bayles, Davis, Dickinsons, Floyds. Hawkins, Jaynes, Jones, Satterlys, Smiths and Woodhulls, including the resting place of Abraham Woodhull, leader of the Culper spy ring against the British during the American Revolution. As Setauket was his home town, artist William Sidney Mount (1807–1868) is buried here too. The church and burial ground were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

Seward Park (Manhattan)

Seward Park is a public park and playground on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. Located north of East Broadway and east of Essex Street, it is 3.046 acres (12,330 m2) in size and is the first municipally built playground in the United States. History The park is named for William Henry Seward, a U.S. Senator from New York who served from 1849 to 1861 and later went on to be Secretary of State in the Lincoln administration. The park was built on a condemned piece of property purchased in 1897. New York City lacked the funds to do anything with it, so the Outdoor Recreation League (ORL), a playground and recreation advocacy group that built playgrounds in the undeveloped parks using temporary facilities and equipment, built it as the first permanent, municipally built playground in the country. Opened on October 17, 1903, it was built with cinder surfacing, fences, a recreation pavilion, and children's play and gymnastic equipment. A large running track encircled the play area and children's garden. The Seward Park Branch of the New York Public Library was built in the southeastern part of the park, opening on November 11, 1909. In the 1930s and 1940s, the park was reconstructed, and a piece of land was returned to the city. The Schiff Fountain, donated by Jacob H. Schiff, was moved from a nearby park and placed in the park. In 1999, Seward Park was renovated again, and some of the original 1903 plans were restored. This renovation introduced a mosaic map of the surrounding neighborhood, with the park depicted in the center of the circular map, which has a spray shower. Seward Park also holds one of the few statues in the U.S. dedicated to Togo, the sled dog who led the most treacherous route of the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska.

Shakespeare-kertek

A Shakespeare-kertek olyan tematikus kertek, amelyekben William Shakespeare műveiben előforduló növények vannak elültetve. A Shakespeare-kertek leginkább az angolszász országokban népszerűek, de világszerte megtalálhatóak. Nagyrészt szabadon látogatható közkertek, amelyek nagyobb parkokhoz, egyetemi kampuszokhoz tartoznak. Shakespeare-kertek vannak például a New York-i Central Parkban, Clevelandben és az angliai New Place-ben. A kertekben jellemzően több tucat növényfajta fordul elő természetes, sűrűn növekvő vagy rendezett, geometrikus elrendezésben. A növények mellett általában hozzájuk kapcsolódó idézetek vannak feltüntetve. Bizonyos Shakespeare-kertekben nem csupán az író darabjaiban, illetve szonettjeiben említett növények, hanem egyéb jellegzetes Erzsébet-korabeli fajták is előfordulnak. Shakespeare-i növényfajták A legismertebb növényekre való utalás Shakespeare műveiben – amely nemcsak futólagos említés, mint a híres Rómeó és Júlia idézet, „Mi is a név? Mit rózsának hivunk mi, bárhogy nevezzük, éppoly illatos” – a Hamlet következő szakasza: Ophelia: Itt egy rozmaring szál, az emlékezetre; kérlek, édes rózsám, hogy jussak eszedbe: itt meg háromszín ibolya, ez való a gondolatra. Laertes: Értelem, az őrültségben; összeillesztve gondolat és emlékezet. Ophelia: Nesze, neked ánis, meg galambvirág; neked ihol a ruta; ebből nekem is egy kicsit; vasárnap úgy hívhatjuk, hogy: irgalomfű; ön a rutáját egy kis különbséggel viselheti. Ne neked százszor szép; adnék violát is, de mint elhervadt, mikor az atyám meghalt. Azt mondják, istenesen mult ki – Ezen felül Shakespeare a növényeket történelmi szimbólumokként is alkalmazza, így bukkan fel például a fehér és a vörös rózsa a VI. Henrik első részében, amelyek a rózsák háborújára utalnak. Fordítás Ez a szócikk részben vagy egészben a Shakespeare garden című angol Wikipédia-szócikk fordításán alapul.

Sheepshead Bay-Nostrand Houses

The Sheepshead Bay and Nostrand Houses are adjacent New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) complexes in the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Description The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)-owned complex consists of the Nostrand Houses, which are 16 residential buildings located between Avenues V and X on the north—south axis, and Bragg Street and Batchelder Street on the east—west axis; and the adjacent Sheepshead Bay Houses, which are 18 six-story residential buildings located between Batchelder Street and Nostrand Avenue on the east—west axis. The total area for both developments is 50 acres (20 ha), with a combined population of more than 4000. The Nostrand Houses have an upcoming $400M renovation project that will provide its 1,148 units with many upgrades. Bordering Avenue V on Sheepshead Bay Houses is the Herman Dolgon Playground, named in 1951 for a World War II veteran who campaigned for the New York City Housing Authority to build low cost housing for veterans in the area. The park is shaded by linden trees. History The property had attracted millionaires in the 19th-century. The Sheepshead Bay Racetrack was built in 1880 on the property, and was used primarily for horse racing. After the Hart–Agnew Law outlawing race track betting passed in the New York State Legislature on June 11, 1908, the track switched over to car racing, ultimately shuttering due to bankruptcy. Plans for a 1,056 apartment development were announced in December 1947 as part of a larger plan by NYCHA to construct projects in all five boroughs of the city with an aggregate of 32,808 apartments. Partial funding had previously been announced in January of that year, with $4.918 million in notes sold for use on Sheepshead Bay and three other projects. Construction bids were scheduled for October 26. Sheepshead Bay was completed in August 1950, while the Nostrand Houses were completed in December 1950. In 2023, the Federal Emergency Management Agency reported that the two developments are "are at risk of extreme flooding due to their proximity to a coastal water body and increased rainfall from climate change" and that $23.08 million had been allocated for a stormwater management system. In 2025, The New York Times reported that this funding had been eliminated as part of a $325 million reduction in federal funding to New York State.

Shenantaha Creek Park

Shenantaha Creek Park is located in the town of Malta, in Saratoga County, New York. In 1993, the Malta Town Board commissioned the Ruhle Road Park Committee to plan a park on 56.1 acres of land along the Ballston Creek and an abandoned railroad track. The land wasn't accessible to vehicles, so the Town purchased an additional 5.29 acres for access and egress of the park in 1995. The park opened in 1997. A portion of the Zim Smith Trail runs through the park allowing hiking, bicycling, rollerblading, horseback riding, and snowmobiling. The forest includes oak, maple, pine, and hemlock trees. There is a moraine where it has been said that bowls in rocks were used as mortars for grinding food by Native Americans, although some speculate they result from glacial scouring. In the park there are remains of a mill that pressed flax seed oil. References External links Official website
Shenendehowa United Methodist Church

Shenendehowa United Methodist Church is a United Methodist church located in Clifton Park, New York on Route 146 directly across from the Shenendehowa Central School District's main campus. Shenendehowa UMC was founded in 1957 by merging four smaller churches in the area, Grooms, Crescent, West Crescent and Newtown. The first official service was held in 1959. The church has roots back to 1788, when Grooms Methodist Episcopal Church was founded in the Vischer Ferry area, though John Wesley had been sending preachers to Halfmoon, NY and Newton, NY since 1783. The original Newton Methodist Church was founded in 1830, West Crescent in 1835, and Crescent Methodist Church in 1852. In 1957, members of these four Methodist churches of the Clifton Park area voted to merge, combining their membership to reach a total of 361 members. The Shenendehowa UMC building has undergone three major renovations since its construction. Most recently, in 1997, a new sanctuary was built. The current pastor at Shenendehowa United Methodist Church is Rev. Justin Hood, serving at SUMC since July 2024. References External links "Shenendehowa United Methodist Church(SUMC)".
