The cemetery is on a 2.5-acre (1.0 ha) triangle just north of Metropolitan Avenue and one block east of Woodhaven Boulevard.

The burials in the cemetery include that of American Revolutionary War colonel Jeromus Remsen (1735–1790), as well as his wife, his brother, and four of his children. The remains of an eighth person, Bridget Remsen, are also in the cemetery. In the 20th century, commemorative military gravestones were placed there by the Veterans Administration, and memorials to World War I soldiers were erected in the cemetery.

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Remsen Family Cemetery as a landmark in 1981, and the local American Legion post took over maintenance of the cemetery around the same time. During the first decade of the 21st century, the burial ground came under the administration of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks).

Strack Pond is a glacial kettle pond located inside Forest Park, Queens, New York City. The pond was buried in 1966 and restored four decades later.Its namesake was a Woodhaven resident killed in the Vietnam War. The pond is located at a point to the west of Woodhaven Boulevard and south of Forest Park Drive in a natural depression. Historically, Strack Pond did not have an official name. It was given its name in February 1969 after Private First Class Lawrence E. Strack. Strack grew up in Woodhaven and ice skated on what was then an unnamed pond. In the summer, he played in the Rich-Haven Little League, which was composed of children from Woodhaven and Richmond Hill. He signed up to serve as a paratrooper in 1966 and briefly returned home to marry his childhood sweetheart. On March 3, 1967 during a combat parachute jump in Vietnam, PFC Strack was killed in a fierce firefight. For many years after the renaming, the site was used by the Rich-Haven Little League. The site often flooded after even a moderate rain, making it unusable for much of the year. In May 2004, the restored pond was opened to the public as a three-acre nature preserve with a trail descending to the pond. Cleanup of the pond started in 2019. A full renovation with a patio has been proposed but is currently unfunded.
