This is a public park? Who knew. Any oasis is nice.
Good place to do laps.. nice people. Clean.
Just dont go, there are much better parks around.
Spacious park with a baseball/soccer turf field, track, playground and water feature for kids, basketball and racquetball courts, an outside fitness equipment and bathrooms.
Get your calisthenics fix over here. Pull-up bars are hot commodity in the city. Enjoy !
Was a great place to pause during our visit. Sit, chat, watch people working out and enjoy the sports activities going on. Cool guy selling flowers was chatting with 2 of my family members.
I was here to do a community sponsored event in which I participated in taking the blood pressure readings and Advising members in the community about their health needs and medication. This event also housed different health insurance companies that would help those in need who did not have coverage. There were also different shelters that came with food trucks as well as items for the members and Community with simple things like socks, diet and other information as needed.
Beautiful park. Well stocked bathroom facility.
Fun n safety. Great spot to vibe,👍🏽
Great place to get your workout in💪💪💪💪
Good park to play in. Afternoon is the best time to take kids outside. After evening park starts to get quiet and not many people stay. Best time to be here is 12-5PM.
Kids Always Had Fun At A (Random) Playground!
Plenty to do for children and adults clean/well kept Soccer field handball/racquetball courts Nice sized track chin up pull up bars Everything outdoors to keep you in shape and improve your overall health
Its one of the few urban track and field facilities we have in Manhattan. One may find lacrosse and soccer here. Also a running track with several lanes. Numerous handball courts and a freehand bodyweight workout area. The grassy area will suffice for any stretches. So cardio, strength and flexibility all get covered. There are working water fountains. A childrens bathing fountain adults can post workout cool off in, too. A restroom 🚻 that has a tricky schedule and is hence unreliable. There are several nearby commercial as well as a Parks Dept gym to complement this park with resistance training, swimming, showers, etc. Its a hidden community gem.
Great park for outdoor activities
Ruef field and track is nice. Fitness park is cool, and people have brought over extra equipment. Court is nice. Bathrooms are open. The only issue is the vagrants who can get rambunctious at times but theyre usually pretty chill.
In town for a few days and found this to be the perfect work out place.
Awesome place you should visit when you get here
Great track. Clock some extra kms or miles to beef up your run or to warm up here.
This track is not designed for running fast. Its only 3 narrow lanes wide and has 90° turns. The only markings are the start and finish line and where it tells you the distance around is 960 ft, making 5.5 laps a mile. If you are looking for a place to walk, go to the high line instead. If you are looking to run, good luck!
Awesome place to relax and enjoy the view. Great place for pictures. A lot of people are running there early in the morning and this is what I have been doing for a long time. In the evening is great when the sun goes down. The park is really clean.
Hello every one welcome all new people new eye balls and new beeeeeeeeeeeeeeez thanks for reading my post here we go nice park here if you like to read books be on the phone jog run play ball eat your food and chill nice atmosphere here very laid back clean fun to be in people friends here no knuckle heads but always be on guard so if you are near here come on down get some air sun 🌞 on you untill then peace
Lots of exercise options. Lots of seating, frequented by neighborhood residents. Male and female bathrooms. Soccer field. Relief fountain for those hot summer months. Picnic tables. Elementary school next door. 9the age at 28th street.
Running track and courts- beautiful part of the city to meet up before hopping on the Highline entrance at W28th and 10th. Grab an iced coffee from the deli just off the corner and youre ready for those stairs
This is one of my favorite parts in Manhattan. The views of the Hudson are awesome and its a great place to sit back chill and relax. Its in a great area too close to the high Line tourist spot and close to restaurants.
The bike path is great, the activities along the park are wonderful. Free kayaking in the summer at the boathouse, mini golf, volleyball courts, and plenty of seating and grass. The raised platform park is pretty as well. Usually packed but definitely a good walk.
Open area to hangout for all ages. A nice playground, basketball court, handball court, workout area, track, and field.
Solid NYC Park. Lots of trees that provide much needed shade on a hot summer day. Seating options include both picnic tables and benches. There’s a sprinkler, a playground, large basketball court and handball courts. Went on a Sunday day and it wasn’t to crowded. Clientele is chill and family oriented.
It is a nice park. But the major problem is there are lots of homeless people over there. This park always smell bad because of those homeless people. If you need to use restroom in this park and can come out without throwing up, that will be a great success.
Not that well maintained. When I tried to enter through an entrance close to the restrooms, I was stopped by a park worker. When I asked for reason he said its closed. Apparently I could see people in the park. I demanded to know the reason for stopping me and he tried to intimidate me by coming close. (he was huge in size and had a rugged look). Then another worker interrupted and said its closed. But I could see that people were in. I got an important call and had to leave it at that. But something seemed fishy with the workers gathered near the restrooms and not letting people through in a public park. It was a week day around 3pm.
One of the place where dogs can run around with other dogs... Lovely place...
Huge turf field to play softball,baseball youth,football,soccer as well to get some running done around the track great place to workout a sweat
Have regularly run around the park as there is a marked track. 5.5 laps to a mile!
Great for a casual walk in New York
Its a cute park especially because they have a playground, a water spout, a soccer/baseball field and ball courts. But its one of the least cared for and dirtiest parks in Manhattan! Parks Dept needs to do a better job!!!
Its nice an cozy to chill when you can find a shady place to relax
Worst public restroom.
Pretty convenient in the area , definitely cleanliness was showed, view was great.
If you happen to use a good turf as main field type, you will be happy about it as its a great quality. For sure Football, soccer, there is a track along. Beside that the park is like every little parks in New York, charming but nothing that great. Would recommend for Sport Reasons :)
Great park that accents the ambiance of the overall comfortable, open minded people that live,work and thrive there. #majorButtons
Has an excellent astrology turf field for soccer and the like. It also has a great playground with sprinklers for the younger children. The only drawback was the very badly maintained restrooms. The floors were flooded and it smelled as though it wasnt cleaned in over a week.

Small park but with very nice playground. I go there sometimes and play with the local kids, they are very friendly so even if you are alone they will find you a place with the team so you can enjoy a good game.
Its a cool park
Too many homeless people here for my liking. But, if that doesnt bother you during a pandemic, the astroturf that isnt covered by vagabonds is nice.
Nice lil track & soccer field.. was walking home from Hudson Yards and checked it out
Great cute little park that I randomly came across one night. Its right next to the water and has a lot of benches just to relax and enjoy an evening stroll.
Maybe i just love everything Chelsea. I do! So strolling through and around Chelsea Park is lovely...they have worked hard at the cleaning up of the old Health Care building on 9th Avenue & thats a relief & so pleasant now. The cobble stone walkway was kept in tact around the front...ahhhh, old cobblestones.And the entire park has been renovated over the last year or so ago, so kids & everyone benefit from the playground itself to the soccer field. Good!
Nice Park to go for a Casual walk.and maybe a Soccer or Baseball game too.
Its a MUST summer walk, is sad that the view from the park is getting stolen but the buildings around it, that are probably sold with the park view as an attraction. Perfect for walking alone, friends or family. Wear sunblock and sunglasses.
A great field to play soccer!
Great park in the city.Unfortunately it can get very busy during the Spring/ Summer.They have a place for basketball, football, baseball and high intensity training. Have fun and enjoy the great outdoors of NYC.
Soccer field, track, decent playground.Public bathrooms are dirty but there if you need them.
I use the track at Chelsea Park. Its a space for running , walking and a playground for the children... Also if you just want sit and enjoy the day...good park
Lots of ppl working out. Not a lot of them wearing masks so beware and be sure to mask up if you have concerns
Awesome chill 😌 ambient
Too MANY homeless persons in park.Not able to enjoy fully. I was very disappointed. Hopefully better next visit to the city.
Decent park. Not very tidy tho. A lot of leaves, flies, bird.
Theres- a basketball field 🏀,- a huge soccer field ⚽ (which can be split into smaller fields) ,- a cricket/ tennis 🎾 area (not a real field, but u can exercise there)- a kid area,- a few calisthenic equipment where you can work out (3 abs bench, some bar to do muscle-up and triceps).Great place to do some sport.
Nice, quaint, neighborhood park, pet friendly with omg lol some real grass areas your four legged family members will enjoy in this concrete jungle!
Love it. I workout here. Always clean. Highly recommend!!!
Cool for street workout. Only things missing is a straight bar for the flag and a pullup bar for freestyle (without anither bar in front)
Has a open filed to crawl around on and a mini calisthenics park that I call my home away from home.
The city has managed to incorporate the old with yhe new, shops are verry expensive, but if u can affrod to live here . Money isnt a prob.
Great place to go with friends or family!
NYC Park great view
Great park to go hang out and enjoy the good weather
One of my highlights in New York! Its even for free!
I used to come here to rest before Thursday night gallery crawls. Nice little park but it is primarily for kids, I think.
Amazing newly remodeled playground. Awesome equipment with lots of climbing options and other play parts to engage the imagination. Fantastic!
Its is a big, beautiful park. It has a jungle gum for kids and the other half is a soccer field. Also, it is right next to an elementary school.
Was part of a breakfast run bringing breakfast, lunch, and clothing to the homeless and food insecure. Warm welcoming place
Nice area for sports and other summer activities
Well lit at night, so you can get some decent photos while your friends play football ;)
Diverse which is ok , well kept .yet too many homeless and a soup kitchen is across the street
I love the community atmosphere, as well as friendly NYC PARKS AND RECREATION workers, which adds to a truly unique family experience
Amazing Park especially for pick up soccer games great place for a workout or just to people watch and relax best in the area.
3.5 - it has a busy field that doubles for soccer and baseball. not a fan of the AstroTurf that comes apart and gets stuck on feet, socks and shoes. there is a wall you can practice handball and racquetball.
Love this place, grass sticks to everything though
Been going to Chelsea Park for 28 years love it
Great park! Neighborhood’s gem.
Playing softball and soccer here is awesome. Feels like straight out of a video game setting as you get competitive in the midst of giant buildings around you.
Baseball field, with a track for runners, childrens play area including sprinklers and beautiful shade giving trees.Grassy area which many use for pinics.
Chelsea park is a great place to play basketball, handball, softball or even work it. The only problem is the homeless people sleeping and creeping around the playing areas
Its NYC beautifull from a distance you can keep the agresive drivers showing no curtersey no parking congestion on and on its no fun any more
This is a public park and that moment with no comfort station (restrooms) available to people who use the park. The reason is no heat available and has been out for months now.
Neighborhood park, overall great park just few homeless people around. Like any other place.
Cool workout zone, but a lot of homeless
Nice Park surrounding the elderly homes
Could use more food spots but very nice outting for date night
Cluttered with homeless creeps
Very nice area of greenery in the city. Pleasant place to visit!
Close to office clean and not crowded
Love that they are renovating the childrens park...only concern is the homeless hanging around
Nice place to meet hobos and drunking bums who happen to also be hobos, it also smells great!...if you like the smells of urine
This park is amazing but staff do a terrible job cleaning it
Still some snow on the tracks. Lots of garbage all around
I enjoy myself running and talking with Friends.
Decent park for the city. Turf multi purpose field. Softball soccer, football and a track. Also a playground for the kids.
Nice pla e to waste an afternoon morning and, in case I dont see you later, good night. alrighty then.
Very popular sport atea.
Beautiful and relaxing space to go! Great for walking, jogging, or just enjoying the beautiful sights!
I love this area of the city, great place for restaurants, shops, etc etc
Not too many kid friendly things to do.
Still needs more work, but its ok
Great place to exercise and do different activities
Nice place to wine down and relax before going home.
Nice People, opportunities to walk, workout, play ball, cardio, see trees and sky!
My coworker pared over there. Lots if people having fun
Great place to play soccer. Crowed on weekends.
Very well kept grounds.
It was a beautiful experience, went there with my coworkers after a Kickball game but a bit crowdy at night.
Its a nice park to play and do exercise
A unique marketplace with variety of stores and restaurant. This is one of my favorite place @NYC
Interesting variety of people, basketball court, jungle gym, sprinkler, benches, track and field, and restrooms.
It was a good way to relax and do something with family.
Kool low spot 🤫
Great park a lot of people like to come and enjoy the soccer tournaments.
Merry go round, views of the Hudson, always clean great place to relax by the water
A beautiful place and wonderful way to see the city
My softball team plays here. The turf is worn but not torn up too much.
Plenty of space for children and adults to have a great time at the park
Awesome experience! Try it & look for Shawn The Ambassador.
Great group of handball players gather after work on weekdays. Come try it out.
Beautiful place. Looking to comeback in the summer
They havent tried to clear the snow
The park had these long heavy metal bars that work for weights.
Great place to work out, save the occasional sent of weed.
Helping the community
Ive been here a few times for Softball games, good for sports.

It was during the Christmas season and they had the infinite mirrors my girls enjoyed themselves
Nice park to do all kind of activities.
Great park, real. Big
The public bathrooms close too early
My Favorite park to do calisthenics exercises without a gym near by
Nice little park in the middle of Manhattan. Good getaway in the middle of the day.

Nice spot to get out of all the hustle.
Very clean park surrounded by big buildings.
Tiny park perfect for playing gashes and just relaxing.
Its beautiful in the spring and summer.

2022-01-27Could be an ideal place for schools to bring Their different athletic teams to enjoy a day of competition as there is plenty of good space to have races on the track, and baseball and soccer games on the beautiful green fields that have been renovated, but, oh, so sad to see that the park has become a place for the homeless who stay in the park 24/7, I would not ever ever allow My Children to go near it. The park and its surrounding areas are not safe.

2021-06-11Nice park for what it is. Has a track, synthetic grass field (often used for team sports), and not much else.Wish there were more trees, but it definitely serves the local community well

2019-04-19Only went to the running track and field. The park and surrounding area has a bunch of hobos and crackheads. They would wander onto the field too. The track is small, 960 meters per lap, not made of rubber, only 3 lanes, plus no markers for sprinting, had to approximate. The field is dirty. Oh yeah and the restroom is out of order haha...I guess the only good thing about it is the city part of it. I will not be coming back just to run anymore dough.

2019-04-25Beautiful park with a baseball/softball court... sad is the restroom is not working when we get there, need to go to nearest restaurant...
