NYC Parks Dept. workers ALL deserve lunch and a break, after seeing almost 4 yrs. of visiting; and in those yrs., from pruning, planting, bench seat changing with 5/8 thicker boards, as well, as lawn moving and routine cleaning and maintenance...on and on...even, turf laying....thanks...ms. marion.🙂🙃
Very clean and good playground. It is full of people most of the time so you may wait the young kids before you start playing your game but still am sure that they will even invite you to play with them. I am going there usually and there are no crazy people around in the area.
Nice park for children, but it concerns me that there are so many open entrances that children and wonder off too, leading to the street or to a different section of the park. Just stay on top of your child and youll be fine, and know it gets super packed when the weather is nice.
Nice city park with Basketball, handball, etc. I played handball there and the courts are fine. The lines are all drawn and its reasonably maintained and clean. The only downside is the traffic right next to the handball court, but again I didnt mind that because it reminds me Im in the heart of NYC.
This park has helped us raise our two boys. Very spacious park with an attached concrete ground . Lots of physical activities in the park where over active kids can try out their gymnastics skills on monkey bars , swings , slides , hanging bars etc. The ground can be used for biking, baseball, soccer , skating or jogging walking.
Lovely park to take my son after school. He loves to spend half an hour everyday. However I have noticed that some people bring their dogs and doesnt keep them on leash. Children play soccer in the field and our ball got chewed up bad and the same thing happened to another kid. The owner doesnt listen. Who do I complain to?
St. Vartan Park is a little park on 1st Avenue and East 35th Street near the Midtown Tunnel to Queens from ManhattanI do not play much sports like tennis and basketball, which Vartan Park is mainly for.The close proximity to the Mudtown Tunnel is also a major turn off for me. Tons of traffic means tons of unhealthy environment issues.It is the urban concrete park that I do not recommend for the young, ths elderly or the folks with respiratory issues.

2022-03-18A great place for kids, synthetic grass, but pretty neat, with trees all around, and a fence that is always closed to protect the little ones.

2022-06-07I am really nitpicking by not giving this park five stars. I go here often. I throw a football or a frisbee with a friend or one of my parents here every now and then. The turf is not really grass and used to be cement. I have mixed feelings about this, as I grew up with it being cement and I would scooter on it. I know people who miss it because they cannot really rollerblade and/or rollerskate there anymore on the open field. The turf is still really nice though! The playground is nice and has a rather large jungle-gym, which I can attest to from previous experiences when I played on it when I was younger. There are also sprinklers that turn on in the summer and can cool you off. There are also swings, tire swings and this other contraption that you sit and spin around in. The basketball courts are pretty good, but get crowded often. Also, the floor on the court is the slightest uneven, but no biggie. You can also practice your tennis skills on the adjacent court area where there are walls to hit the tennis ball at. The bathrooms are not ideal, but they get the job done. They usually get locked around sundown. This park is not perfect or essentially perfect, but I love it a lot and I think 4/5 is a good representation of this park. Get out and enjoy!P.S: They have a composting station by the playground area that is open on Saturdays.

2019-03-24Awesome park for kids: plenty of space and good climbing frames, swing sets, and slides. There are also plenty of benches for parents, a large open area for ball games or scooting. Not to mention the impressive view of the Empire State Building.

2021-08-29The wall is for playing handball Ive heard but its great for tennis practice as well and the full court (basketball) right next to it has two hoops and theres even a third smaller court and hoop on the side. Directly across the street there is another park with a big grassy area as well although Ive never been there myself. Its a great place! 👍
