Floral Park, New York, has made contributions to the world of professional wrestling, particularly through the career of Patrick Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick, known in the ring as DJ Phat Pat, has been a prominent figure in the New York wrestling scene. He is a current member of the tag team QGTM and has held multiple championships, including the NYWC Tag Team Championship, the CEP Tag Team Championship with Jey Mesias as part of QGTM, and the PWS Tag Team Championship with Fallah Bahh as part of The Phat Pack. Among the performers who Fitzpatrick has battled in the ring over the years are Aron Stevens (Damien Sandow), Brian Myers (Curt Hawkins, native of Glen Cove), Anthony Greene, Bryce Donovan (Long Beach resident), Mikey Whipwreck, Chris Dickinson, VSK, Alex Reynolds, and Pat Buck.
Beyond wrestling, Floral Park is also home to Pete Nice, a former rapper and member of the pioneering hip-hop group 3rd Bass. Nice has transitioned into a role as a hip-hop historian and curator, contributing to A&E's Hip Hop Treasures series, which premiered on August 12, 2023. The show, hosted by LL Cool J (a Long Island native by birth) and Ice-T, explores the search for lost hip-hop memorabilia, with Nice serving as a co-curator.
