Mets owner Steve Cohen has unveiled detailed new renderings of his proposed Metropolitan Park complex near Queens’ Citi Field — which would house a new casino as well as parks, restaurants, and shopping areas — even as the project faces rough political headwinds.

Cohen, the billionaire hedge fund manager who purchased the Mets in 2020, wants to build the project on 50 acres of parkland currently used as a parking lot for Citi Field.

The centerpiece would be a casino run by Hard Rock Entertainment, requiring a license Cohen is vying for in a furious bidding war opened up by state legislation authorizing new downstate gaming facilities, which has drawn in some of the world’s top players in real estate and gambling for a once-in-a-lifetime moneymaking opportunity.
