Had fun at this park with my 3 sisters, we bought McDonalds and let my little sister have fun in the water and in the park. Great area to spend time with family!
Nice park to take your kids to play. They also have nice tennis courts.
Most of the time its clean, however this summer the teens are running around playing with water and being careless.
The bark is next door to Harlem Hospital. It has handball, basketball, and tennis courts, along with a playground area for younger visitors. There is a bathroom which was dirty (like any park).
My son has many areas he can explore. However, where the park benches are placed, he cannot always be seen from every vantage point.
I love this place but I once saw a guy who looked a lot like 2pac arguing with a guy who looked a lot like Bernie Mac. I overheard him call the other guy a picklehead mfkr.
Free tennis courts. Well kept. There are 2 courts and a few smaller practice courts for kids. Easy to get to. Enjoyed playing there.
Love coming to this park.
They have shoot outs in this park not safe for children
It could be better. Ground should be redone to to avoid falls..
Needs a renovation. Ground is uneven in some parts. Swing sets need to be expanded.
Too many druggies and bumps sleeping in the back... park person was lazy stayed on the phone all day. Garbage was everywhere and bathroom was nasty...
Its a nice Park, the Handball courts should be repaired and painted...for everyone to take advantage of them.
This park was good!
Thanks for the great memories!
Very dirty. Garbage all over the park.
THE EXPERIENCE WAS fun! On A Hot Day it was Cool! Sprinklers was on!
Had a great time with my granddaughter
Grew up in this park now my kids love it
Great location. My kids love this park.
The park had nicely shaded areas and a sprinkler.
Great you can play with kids without any violence
Its a fine playground, but it can get a little wild.
Good place for both teens and kids. Hard to find any place that watches out for both youth and ederly.

2021-07-19Very good playground for kids of all ages. The bathrooms were a little dirty but thats to be expected at a public restroom in the city. What I liked most is that is was easy to monitor my kids as the playground was very open with one way in and one way out.

2021-05-16The last two or three visits both adults and children were pleasantly respectful and patient. Cant say thats always the case, Ive heard stories. But that was my experience.

2018-07-24Its a really nice play ground with good space for sports and play time. 2 full size and 4 half size tennis courts plus 2 basketball courts, all in great condition. Most of the playground is even shaded with big trees so kids can stay cool during summer play.
