Ozone Park is a neighborhood in the very southwestern part of the New York City borough of Queens. Its boundaries are formed approximately as follows (going in a clockwise direction) : Atlantic Avenue in the north, beyond which lies Woodhaven; Leferts Blvd. & 111th street in the east beyond which lie South Richmond Hill and Murray Park respectively ; the Aqueduct Racetrack in the southeast, beyond which lies South Ozone Park; Conduit Avenue in the south, beyond which lies Howard Beach and Lindenwood; and lastly Ruby and Eldert Streets in the west, beyond which lies the sub-neighborhood of City Line, a part of the greater East New York neighborhood in the New York Borough of Brooklyn.
It is home to Aqueduct Race Track and presently one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in Southern Queens. It was once (along with South Ozone Park and Howard Beach) the center of operations for the Lucchese and Gambino crime families. At one time, nearly every store or business along 101st Avenue was owned or controlled by the mafia. Many scenes in the movie "Goodfellas" take place in Ozone Park. Today it is home to the NYPD's 106th Precinct house at 103-53 101st Street.
