Masjid

Masjid on the Van Wyck

Masjid on the Van Wyck is a South Ozone Park prayer space serving a local Sunni congregation near the Van Wyck Expressway and JFK approach roads.

City guideJamaica / Queens

Overview & visitor information

Masjid on the Van Wyck serves South Ozone Park near the Van Wyck Expressway, one of the principal road approaches to Kennedy Airport. Its full registered description associates the congregation with Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama‘ah, distinguishing it from airport chapels and the separately organized JFK Masjid.

The mosque functions as a neighbourhood site for daily congregational worship and Friday prayer. Its practical urban building is devoted to salah and community gathering rather than visitor attractions, and the nearby expressway explains the familiar abbreviated name used across mosque directories.

Current prayer directories agree on the institution’s Queens identity and provide map placement and contact routes, though it lacks a maintained first-party website. The record therefore describes only supported worship and location facts and omits claims about facilities, women’s access or fixed iqamah times not established by the operator.
