[PAR] [TLE] Alley Pond Park [SEP] Alley Pond Park is the second-largest public park in Queens, New York City.  It occupies 655.294 acre , most of it acquired and cleared by the city in 1929, as authorized by a resolution of the New York City Board of Estimate in 1927.  The park is bordered to the east by Douglaston, to the west by Bayside, to the north by Little Neck Bay, and to the south by Union Turnpike.  It is run and operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. [PAR] [TLE] Potamogeton Pond [SEP] Potamogeton Pond, a small pond in Queens, New York City (historically also known as Pea Pond), is located on a narrow strip of parkland in Hollis Hills alongside Grand Central Parkway and named after an aquatic plant.  It was once a stop on a bridle trail that connected Cunningham Park to Alley Pond Park; but when local stables closed, the trail became disused.  The pond can be found at 86th Avenue and 217th Street.  The completion of Grand Central Parkway reduced the amount of water that fed the pond, resulting in less water intake and converting the once popular ice-skating site to a bog.  The perch, carp and catfish that lived in the pond died off in 1963 as the parkway was widened in conjunction with the world’s fair taking place in Flushing Meadows the following year.  Silt covered up the pond, and plants grew atop its former surface.
