It would be nice if the cemeteries could be repurposed into parks. They’re quite large, there aren’t many parks near them and not that many people use them.

I say this as someone with four ancestors who are currently occupants. I don’t think they will mind and neither will I.

Yeah, and plenty of residents nearby the many cemeteries of Eastern Queens basically use them as parks already. Even with the gravestones and limited hours, the cemetaries are absolutely gorgeous to walk through, and it's really interesting to see all the super old headstones datung back to the 1800s.

They are nice to walk through because they're so secluded, but it would be nice to play a game or have a picnic there. Maybe you can but I'd feel weird about it.
