    🌿🌼🍀🌴🌲🌱🍁🌅🌇🌞🏃🚴 . Sunrise and sunset photos. Also good for Pokémon Go! Sometimes there are raids there. It's a nice place to run. You can play sports there like basketball or tennis. There's a playground as well. The park is not contiguous - it is is separated by the streets. Be mindful - it can get crowded in the middle of the day and on the weekends, especially around the sports areas.

    Decent basketball courts (3 full, 2 half courts) that are high school sized (3 pt line touches top of key)

    This park is nice and clean. It's good for a morning or am evening walk. Good for kids and elders both.

    Not what I would call a "destination" type park, but if you live around here or are ever in the area by chance I would definitely say give it a look before you leave. It also leads in well to Owl head park (which is "destination worthy"). Great place to workout, have a scenic walk towards the water, or even take a calming drive on the tree lined highway entrance. The park also serves as a natural border between two neighborhoods vibrant in their own ways; or a cultural "dmz". Overall I love it

    Filthy park with lots of amenities. Have to say the kids here are adorable, friendly and love sharing their water balloons. Also love the Tai chi lessons. Great to watch them. Access to restrooms is also good. Lots of teenagers playing volleyball, basketball and the tennis courts across the road.

    It's a lovely park and when I first moved here I spent a lot of time there, unfortunately, I have to agree with other posters. Posters who say that the park has become dirty, there's people's trash on clothes underneath the trees and bushes. And it smells. I just want to sit on a bench and read a book but I can't go there anymore. Someone really needs to deal with that in the city. It's a beautiful place.

    I have been here since I was a teenager. The playground is lacking in variety but it's nicely built. The little rock climbing is way too challenging for kids unless those kids have fingers of steel. The exercise area is nice . I just wish there instructions explaining how some equipments work.

    Nice and large park with many amenities. Kids playground, water park, exercise area, basketball courts, volleyball area, pickleball court, tennis court and plenty of open space for any outdoor activities.

    It's so clean, quiet and safe. Well kept. Family orientated. During the day you see people exercising, running, or just sitting and relaxing. There's a section for the kids. At night, people are walking around the park getting in their exercises. During the summer, families sit there while the kids play.

    This is my new discovery! Very nice, clean park. Lots of shades for everyone, perfect for hot summer days. The water area is really fun and there is a playground with swings for the kids ! Quiet during the morning hours.

    The north side of it between Fourth and Second Avenue is a filthy mess and used as a dump. So sad for what could be a beautiful park. Other parts of the park are better.

    What would we do without the NYC parks? Good to have them, wish they were better.

    This Park evolves with the community, offering clean playgrounds, tennis courts and restroom facilities. I just wished that there was some sort of enforcement for removing vagrants and teams that pollute the fields.

  • 5/5 Mary M. 1 year ago on Google
    I inadvertently found this park after my car broke down on the Belt Parkway. While the car was being fixed down the street, I hung out and read. It was lovely to see the community out enjoying themselves.

  • 5/5 Florence K. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a small park. Just right for a stop for coffee and cake break. Safe and no one bothers you.

  • 4/5 Brenda P. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice space. Basketball courts, children's play area, workout station and plenty of room to bird watch.

  • 5/5 Yusuf A. 2 years ago on Google
    What else can I say? It's a decent park. The community helps keep this park clean together. Although it lacks a basketball court, its playground won't disappoint your little ones!
