“Queens Triple Play: Willets West, Major League Soccer, National Tennis Center” talks about the three new additions that will be built in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. While this project is not immediate, residents and business owners will slowly be displaced over the next twenty years. While the idea of a mall, soccer stadium and tennis stadium sound nice in theory, many other projects come with these three. For example, parking lots must be created for each of the projects. Many residents of Willets Point will find that either their homes are in the way of these plans and therefore must move or that their way of life will be drastically changed. A sudden influx of tourists, sports fans and shoppers will crowd the streets surrounding the area and the residents will have to suffer for it. Suddenly, there half hour commutes turn into a few hours just to make it to the crowded train station on game nights.

The construction of these three projects will almost completely deplete what is left of the park. It is already hard enough to find a small lot of grass in the vast city but after these projects, it will be difficult to even call the space a park. Small patches of grass separated by large stadiums and parking lots offer very little peace and quiet to that resident who just wants to spend their lunch break in nature. Many residents are outraged and have every right to be when their backyard, playground and peace are being disturbed.
