A city Parks Department employee is facing murder charges after being accused of stabbing a co-worker to death at a Queens recreation center.

Investigators say Robert Swann, 51, stabbed Ezra Black, 31, in the chest Tuesday at the Al Oerter Recreation Center in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

The stabbing happened just hours after Mayor Michael Bloomberg held an anti-obesity event at the rec center.

The Parks Department says both men were seasonal employees and the stabbing happened in an employees-only area of the center.
