Clean and fun... Perfect for little league baseball
Love how they changed the park
Beautiful place to relax and fish or just meditate. Somewhere to breathe in New York.
Its a lovely park. Good for family, friends,exercising, barbecues and picnics.
It nice but I wish they have public bathrooms
Great neighborhood park for people of all ages, so much for everyone to do here. If you want a carefree barbecue spot late August - September is the best time to do it. The swimming pool is always clean here.
A pretty good baseball park. Needs much better up keep like the do in Central Park
I grew up in this neighborhood. This park is much more safer than it once was. Theres a lot offered here; a giant pool, community center, running track, 3 sports fields, playground, 2 basketball courts, dedicated space for barbecuing and picnics, 4 handball courts, and access to the walking path on FDR Drive. In addition, theres usually access to a large concrete yard that is associated with the connecting school structure.
It was spacious and people were free to be active and do barbecue 😁😁😁😁😁
The park is good. It has designated picnic areas, where you can BBQ. There are baseball and soccer fields, and a basketball court. Even a public pool.
Not safe for kids with all those guys riding their motor bikes
Nice park, recently with a new area for small children, good cleaning. Saturdays and Sundays quite busy. In summer the outdoor kitchen area is very limited to get a space you have to reserve early. I do not know the steps to make the reservation of those spaces. I mentioned that there is also a public pool !!
Dog owners beware: There is a dog owner that lets his husky off leash and lets him rush at every dog and people in sight. People who work at the park need to tell dog owners like this to leash dogs because someone can get hurt. The dog run is also not very safe since multiple dog fights do happen. Please be safe in this park.
Skatepark was clean and has a beautiful view. However theres a bunch of kids smoking marajuana around. Not ideal for when the little kids are skating.
Me and my 2grand children go 2Jefferson Park to swim, do yoga, power walks, and exercise as often as we can. It not a park of amusement, entertainment. That just our type of fun as a family ✌️.😃
The park and surrounding area are greatEither to sit and relax, BBQ, or get a good workout in.With a skatepark near buy, and overpass that takes you across the FDR over looking the water.And east river plaza a few blocks up. This place is perfect and Im here daily
Not a lot of people. There were a lot of kids playing...black, white, indian, both males and female ages 4 to 12. No problems. Just having fun in the playground and sprinklers. 3 to 4 grilling groups.
Decent place to relax , good pool for the summer time
Nice park. Wood chips instead of sand. Keeps the doggies nice and clean
Been going there for 50 years,
Great place to grill when its not crowded.
Its was ok but except some leaves in the floor and in the running field. Also found this tree
Love their activities friendly atmosphere
A park in East Harlem with playgrounds, barbecue zones, and sculptures. Near to East River Manhattan.
Shout out Kenisha the fitness coach at this location 💪 she definitely works us ladies out lol. HIGHLY RECOMMEND....Thanks for keeping us healthy and fit ❤
I only go for Tuberius class on Saturdays. I have other gym memberships
Beautiful place to walk thru
Fun park, nice outdoor exercise equipment and track, footbridge leads over the highway to the path by the river.One odd thing to note: the track is not a standard quarter-mile. Its a little smaller, about 5 laps per mile.
The pool was awesome on a day like today. Went for the early session n stayed until 230. Water was clean n at the perfect temperature.
Its a calm place to have a picnic and its a great park to have parties!
A great place to have a bbq..they have inground grills. You gotta get there early to reserve your spot. But a good place to enjoy a day with the family.
Nice little neighborhood park with a track and playground. You can even grill and there are a few picnic tables. It can get very crowded though, especially on weekends. Best bet is to go on a weekday afternoon, otherwise its too crowded.
Lovely place , amazing park 💚
Childhood memories flood ne because of this place, born and raised there. My grandmother loved taking me and my siblings to Jefferson Park, especially the swimming pool, great fun for all!
Great place for the kids with a newly renovated playground, and I you feel like running the they have a track as well, cant forget about the doggie park. All in all a great place to relax and catch a breeze!!!
Nice park to walk around and mostly to work out, they have some stands with options to exercise.
Its a beautiful park where you and your family can have cookouts play sports go running on the track field. Your kids can play on the swings, they can play on the monkey bars, theres handball courts and right by Thomas Jefferson Park theres the FDR Drive where you can take a long walk down the path. Sit on the benches to soak up some sun. In addition, you could go fishing. However, this area is a high impact crime area of gang members and sometimes shootouts in the summer time.
The track and field are really cool here. Tons of kids playing. My nieces and nephews play here a lot and kids from the nearby school were there as well. Its the only childrens park Ive visited in the city so far, but I thought it was great. It was even relatively clean.
Nice place quiet on normal days but can an does get crowded very quickly.
Nice kid friendly park lots of space
This park is pretty good. It is clean, seems like a friendly place. It has a nice variety of activities built-in such as the baseball field, swimming pool, handball and basketball courts, dog park, it even has a small skate park! A very good thing is that there are several marked police cars scattered throughout to provide security and a cop car drives through about every half an hour or so. Good place to go alone, with friends or family gatherings.
Great size park for the locals with many sports field and fans friendly vibe plenty of shade for cookouts get there early to hpmd spot
Jefferson Park gets four stars only because it is a big part of my childhood. If it werent for that, there is no real love for the spot.
Very nicely landscaped, well maintained and spacious place to seek exercise and recreation. I believe the grilling area is under construction. It will be interesting to see the changes. Jefferson park has come a long way over the years. Its nice to see its transformation from an addict hangout to a positive resource for the community. Free Wi-Fi!
Not bad to walk in and do little work outs, but if youre running the track you may not like it especially if youre running for miles. The track is only 0.20 miles long and thats on lane 6, which sometimes is covered by the soccer goal. Lane 4 is around 0.18 miles. My 1st time, I did 10 laps thinking it was 2.25 miles n i didnt even get 2 miles. Still a nice place for you and the kids to hang out at. That area also has a basketball court, baseball field, pool, skateboard park all within walking distance. The kids park is torn down, not sure whats going on with that.
It was a really nice day to go to the park and grill up some food. There was plenty of people out and about working out kids in the playground. Very nice.
I like this park, it’s one of my favorites.But it gets crowded, especially on the major summer holidays. They have a huge pool, basketball courts, track and soccer field, a small dog park (read other review), handball courts, and a nice size children’s playground. They have designated areas for cookouts, with picnic tables and small grills. They have plenty of benches throughout, especially around the perimeter of the pool. The community building houses the locker rooms, a workout gym, the restrooms and a small dance studio. It’s clean, with modern lighting and neutral colors. There are multiple entrances to the park including on York, Pleasant, First and 110th.
We went to Jefferson pool today. Not bad for a pool in the neighborhood. It wasnt crowded at all today. Definitely go to the first session.
Its a great park with the swimming pool and the soccer, football or baseball and basketball courts and picnic park for cookouts its one of the best multi parks in NYC for children and teenagers and adults for great recreation for fitness and good health
Great place for the children to play a host of activities. Play ground, track, field, basketball, hand ball court, and swimming. Also the community offers programs and activities for the children to play. As a family, you will enjoy the spacious outdoor areas to grill and/or picnic. Its a dog friendly park as well, with an actual dog park located near the back of E111th street corner of the park. My family loves this park.
We had a great time at the park,even though my permit that I paid $25.50 never came in.
Has basketball courts, handball courts baseball field soccer field playground and grass area. Good time for active children.
Its a great park if you never been there you need to go at least one time & Check it out for yourself
This park needs an much needed upgrade. Dog mess all over this park. People are not cleaning up after their dogs. I wish I could give this Park no stars. The baseball fields are the worst.
Wonderful park ❤️Definitely would recommend especially with the new playground they just built.
Love the park, track is always clean, plenty of room and space for everyone to workout and enjoy.
Lots of space. Grills provided in some areas. Lots of dirt so dont wear white sneakers or open shoes. Yuck
This park has been part of my life since I was a child. The swimming pool is great, good picnic area, soccer field, baseball field and track
Great park to do Football, Soccer, Track, and Bodyweight workouts. The people who work Thomas Jefferson are doing an amazing job during this crazy time. The area is always very clean. Also the turf is level and the track is smooth.As for the people who Ive seen enjoying the park, they have been pretty great about following social distancing procedures during workouts.
Nice park with three fields running track an indoor gym, pool open in the summer
Soccer field, track, BBQ areas, Playground, sprinklers.
Really spacious park. A lot of room to jog and run. The staff is really sweet but I wish it was closer to where I lived. My friends and I plan to set up some Barbecues as the weather gets better. The pool is wicked big as well. Great community.
I really have no complaints with this park what I really would like for them to do is to upgrade the jungle gym for the children and the children sprinkler system at the park. The pool is very clean as well as the locker rooms very well sanitized. Keep your eye out for your personal property, theres a lot of suspects around there and your property will be stolen if you do not keep a good watch for eye on it.
This park isn’t the best but not the worst. There is a soccer field to play soccer. And around it is a place where you could run around the field for runners. There is a playground next to it. It is big! I love it. Behind the playground there is a basketball court to play ball 🏀. The only bad thing is that there is many gangs around. Especially at night. Not super clean either. But still you could go and roast some meat in grills. There are also some grills you could use. But overall it’s not the best, but not the worst.
Theres a pool and courts for playing basketball - artificial turf soccer fieldand barbecue pits for cookoutsNot as many trees as Id like
My son loves this park! I like it too because is new and is very clean and big! He loves to run everywhere!😍🤗👶
Neighborhood big park with a track, huge swimming pool,, soccer & baseball field. Play area for children which is being renovated at this time & skateboard area. They have grills & picnic areas. Parks department keeps the park clean.
It s a nice park with a good view. I enjoyed the walk around after the gym. Its good to walk around and enjoy the sunshine.
I love this park a good safe place to bring your kids to play in the playground or go swimming
Very nice family friendly park. Lot of activities. Barbecue areas basketball courts track and field. Beautiful hansball courts with many of players. Courts or not bad but needs repair for the amount of players it is now attracting. Also it is a great venue for major handball and basketball tournaments. I hope this is something that could be looked into
They would get 5 stars for always having hand sanitizer, new playground for kids, new and nice bbq area but all of this is a waste of money if the portable restrooms are disgusting.
Was nice, not too crowded. Was able to take a few laps around the track
This is a great park to visit - it has a track for running, a play area for children and exercise bars for working out and in the Summer months a pool right next door! And if you are hungry when you finish having fun the Italian restaurant Raos is right on the corner!
This park is open and fun truly has it all a doggie park, a skate boarding course, baseball, soccer, tennis and basketball courts as well as a running track and not forgetting a childrens playground that has been renovated!!⚽️⚾️🏀🎾
Beautiful park ,,,,,, enough tracks......pool nearby........
I come here almost everyday its were me and my friends come to chill and talk about life.Its also a great place to throw a party being that there are a few options of places to go to in this park
It was calm and peaceful today, not too many people. I was able to walk without my mask for the greater portion of my time out. A perfect day.
There are cool things about this place. One of the only 3 or so parks in NYC where you can legally BBQ. However, in the summer, on weekends, it is madness. To get a grill that isnt occupied is almost impossible.There is a skate park, a soccer field, a basketball court, a pool, a doggie park, a baseball field, monkey bars, and a childrens playground. So pretty much, you want it - you got it. Its a little dirty, but I think thats mostly the fault of those of us who uses the park and doesnt clean up after themselves.Overall, I am happy its so close to my house, as I try to bring my doggo here at least once a day.
Jefferson park is a nice park, there’s plenty to do now especially like basketball, baseball, soccer, football, handball, paddle ball, racquetball, skate park and the pier. The only issue is the youth in the area that sometimes cause problems in these areas. Just be mindful of what time you visit this area, I grew up a few blocks away from it so I’ve been here thousands of times. 👌
Pretty cool park. 1/4 mile track. A section for body weight exercises. Grills and picnic tables available
I remember Jefferson. Used to swim in their pool as a teenager in th 1970s. Now, I use it as a shortcut whenever I go up to the mall, which isnt often anymore, to get some cardio.
We came here so my daughter could participate in the City Parks Jesse Owens track and field program. The park is beautiful, well equipped and well maintained, and the program was fantastic!
It can use a few more bathrooms 🚻 it was really bad when there are so many people only two where I was really unclean
Great running track , great monkey bars and friendly strangers!
This park needs renovations big time. Its a dump. Workers at the pool have a bad attitude. They wouldnt let my niece in because she had a maxi pad in her bag. She told them she it there for emergency purposes and they still didnt care. They said women have been leaving bloody pads in the locker room on the floor and their tired of it. My niece filed a complaint.
Quiet and peaceful and not crowded
Dont go at night, rats will scatter everywhere. During the day expect alot of kids due to the school nearby but it is good to just sit with your dog and do some training in a busy place.
Love this park! Its close to home, has an olympic sized pool and is well maintained. They also have a nice sized dog run for big dogs. However, keep an eye out, as criminals frequent the area. My phone got stolen there... in broad daylight. I went to the police station and filed a police report, but the cops couldnt do anything. Google later told me my phone ended up in DR. 🤨
We just enjoyed it because we were able to get the chance to stretch out our legs and walk as well as run around the track as many times as we wanted to. We did a virtual video as a family and took plenty of pictures.
I love the skate park there. My 3 yr old can ride his scooter while my 7 ur old learns to ride his skate board. At times it is busy with other boarders but it has enough ramps for all.
They have exercise area, running track, soccer and baseball field, outdoor pool, indoor exercise room. There is a great part under construction. Bathroom in Center when opened.
It’s very dangerous, Park next to the Highway there’s not a closed hole in the fence. At any time, someones child can jump out onto the road. And since all the slides are closed, many children walk around here.
The city put money into the park and it showsThe kids looked so happy, also the park was extremely clean.
I went there 4 my H.S. school reunion. The park was full with people; families, children etc. E-Z access, along with plenty of activities 2 behold. Only staid a few hours but I absolutely enjoyed myself, especially reconnecting with a few old friends.
The park itself is great. The pool I would not recommend. The lifeguards are a joke, they have their own little groups that they allow to do WHATEVER. They banned an autistic child, Mother and her new baby, for false reasons. After a bigger, heavier child dunked him in the water. The child is autistic, how did they expect him to react. We were all shocked, we took her number down to advocate for her... 2nd session is the worse....The chief lifeguard she is nasty, cocky and unreasonable..The lifeguards wear socks, sweats, text, dont care who is doing what to who till a teenager dumps a small child in the pool and if that child causes them to move, that child that was dunked is banned for the year. I honestly wish someone investigates. I will recommend the park, its beautiful. The pool is dangerous. Boys touching up on everyone. Total madness. Not pictures allowed, I wonder why???? Someone needs to monitor this pool.
I love the track and the exercise stuff but the actual park is filthy. Inman as soon as my daughter goes on the jungle gym her hands and knees are visibly filthy. Plus th paint is peeling off the park and it gets stuck under her nails. Gross
Its a cool place to relax with excellent shade. For birthday dinner, barbecuing and hanging out with friends. If youre into soccer game, you have an amazing pitch for your game and running track for runners.
The track is so necessary right now for walking/running. Not going back to a gym. Clean and well kept. A good place to exercise.
Kids had a ball and clean and safe to play iam just wondering when are they going to open the bathrooms or have porter potties for us
Its a great place to go relax and enjoy the playground where you can see familys and kids just having fun. And on the field they have people playing soccer ⚽ and or running on the track getting there exercise in. Its just an awesome park.
My family had a BBQ.GOOD PEOPLE. GOOD FOOD. GOOD TIMES.Great views of nature. A swimming pool.
Horrible staff. Nasty and rude staff. I went with my family to enjoy the pool and because I did not have a bathing suit, they literally threw me and my kids out. Will never ever go again. The cleaning lady was soooo rude, she chased after me and made sure I left. It was too much for me.
Its a really big park it has a pool its wheel chair accessible you can BBQ in the park it has a big field to play hand ball or basketball and its a lovely place to watch fire works
A nice place to bring the family for a BBQ and enjoy a beautiful summer day.
We love the upgrade park is clean, wish they wouldve install bathrooms
Great place for BBQ and close to all especially the mall. New playground for kids .
Nice park for barbecuing and to take your kids to play
Clean, visited the sprinklers and pool. A bit crowded but everyone minding theyre own business and enjoying the day. Friendly staff maintained the locker room.
Its clean nice to walk thru with your dog. The only thing is that the dog park is small and hiden away in the back corner. You wouldnt know its there unless someone showed you or you noticed it from the FDR highway.
Great spot to take a walk. Lots of open space great for kids, dogs, and athletes.
Great place for summer fun. Many different available activities in the park including a Olympic size swimming pool with a childrens pool, grills for cooking, childrens playground, dog park & basketball courts. Beautifully redone recently.
Thomas Jefferson just like so many other New York city parks and recreational centers around New York City Jefferson Park is one of the most outstanding parks that you can just go there to appreciate to lay in the grass go swimming during the summer hours play basketball play racquetball even exercising area that makes it so beautiful how could you not come there to love this park? Lets not forget the beautiful garden that the community developed and take care of Awesome
Great for sports BBQ and kids...also dog park on back
The playground has been renovated and it is amazing for the kids to play.
Randal Park is a great experience, much opening out doors , well-known and well kept cleaning ,lol.Parking if your early),Bbq grills and all. Children playground ,and Good scenery, for every one . ✨Sports and much more...
Has a recreation center with a pool. A large play area for the kids. a skate park. Handball court basket ball court 2 baseball fields . Soccer field and race track. A small dog park and you can bbq there. I give it 3 stars because it gets very crowded in the summer and well people dont pick up their trash. At night its infested w rats looking for some leftovers.
Picnic area with grilling and tables. City swimming pool, playground. Basketball court. Come early. Two blocks to shopping center if you forget something. Roller, skate board park with ramps. Fun.Costco Target Aldi
Free public pool, actually two pools, one shallow one foot deep kiddie pool, while the other is four feet deep. Nowhere deeper than four feet. Masterlock lockers available, several lounge chairs, but not enough to serve the pool capacity. Strictly enforced rules by the dozen life guards.
I had a wonderful Fathers Day Jefferson Park so hes been a great part for people to visit
Pool, skate park, lots of space.
A busy park, crowed... Good space perfect place to bbq, grab your spot early.
Street games were hosted here.
Community gardens, nice baseball field, great soccer field, perfect basketball court. Skateboard park is awesome with plenty of good talent. This park has it all. Plus the view of the river.
Nice park to relax and take your doggy friend to play with other dogs. Once summer rolls in the only con is the birthday party and barbecue garbage left behind.
Some friends had a picnic there. My problem here is its not large enough...or has too much concrete to allow you the think youre someplace elsse.
They are very hard working..staff is wonderful. My one complaint is..I hate walking entire isles..to find what I want.
Plenty of athletic fields and playgrounds. Nice breeze from the East River. Pretty clean.
This is a great park thats in a not to busy location. It draws a mixed crowd of ethnicities. There is an oval track for walking or running. The best thing is that you are very close to the East River Park
Great place for an outdoor work out!Looks like there is a pool and rec center as well...however its been closed this year due to Covid
This is had plenty of places to BBQ. Her there early and grab a spot. The Recreation Center is always cool inside. They offer free programming to members!
There is much that you can do here. But it is always dirty. And theres always a bunch of noise. The track is great, and normally pretty empty if you run early in the morning.
The track and soccer area is nice but the rest of the park area is a dump - lots of garbage and filth everywhere. It’s a shame the city doesn’t maintain this park because it has a lot of potential. The pool wasn’t open when I stopped by so I can’t comment on that
Been going her since i was a kid. its under renovation at the moment. Has 3 baseball fields 2 different basketball areas, dog park, skate park, turf soccer field with quarter mile track and a large pool with baby pool
Great park to workout at, especially for cardio. I jump rope on the track field and workout at the monkey bars from time to time. Also, they have a huge public swimming pool.
A big park located between the FDR Drive and 1st Avenue. The Park has a Running track with a futbol/soccer field, Handball and Basketball courts, Baseball Fields, and a Community Center with a pretty large pool. Theres also a Pedestrian Bridge that goes over the FDR Drive to the Pedestrian/Bike path along the east coast. Theres also 2 playgrounds inside the park and some art sculptures too. The east river plaza mall is nearby as well.
Great little park to take your dogs 🐕 or children for a playtime. Great basketball court and soccer ⚽️ field
Thomas Jefferson Park is a Wonderful Green Space for All ages. Theres a Wonderful Pool and Recreation Center. Track, Soccer Field, Baseball field, Outdoor Work out Area. Playground Area Hand Ball Courts, Basketball Courts, 2 Dog runs!! Barbeque Area with Barbeque Grills! Beautiful sunsets!
Oh it was so nice to watch the kids play basketball and the children swimming it was such a beautiful visit to this car actually I grew up here when I was 15 years old I spent the whole summer at Jefferson Park and now to see it as a grown man of 72 greatest thing on earth
THE PARK IS CLEAN AND PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY. NICE PARK AMONGST MY COMMUNITY.
Nice children event
Really enjoyed the place no problems clean park
Attend a Church Event out side Very nice and the Park was also
Large park by the East River many shade trees,public pool
The bathroom situation was horrendous!! I know its a public park but come on!!
Has BBQ grills and picnic tables, amazing! Ready to picnic here in the summer
The park gets to crowded with kids and sometimes these parents let kids twice the size play in the little kids playground makes no sense
It’s a sick skate park well kept fairly new it is a safe place but it is a bit small still a really good park to skate at
Is good not to much people. The pool is clean.
Great park with pool in the summer, turf field with a track, plenty of bbq pits, a children’s park area, a skate park attached, a dog park, and an entrance to the Harlem river walk on the east side of FDR Drive.
I love walking around the park and crossing over to the east river to walk along the trail. Its peaceful and you just feel close to nature.
My child likes coming to the park. its usually quite , clean and I never had any problems.
Its upper level is really nice. Good play area for kids. Dog runs are good. Just wstch your purse
Such a nice park where you can relax have bbqs, small play ground, basket ball courts, handball courts, baseball field and soccer field. And a pool!! Come and visit its such a nice park.
Very nice very big. 2 baseball fields new soccer and track and field. 2 playgrounds 3 basketball courts. Outdoor workout equipment.
I think the park is really good.
Some of the staff in the recreational center are a bit rude and unfriendly. but otherwise, the park is a great place to enjoy the fresh outdoors
Great park for bbq and having the kids around
Great park lived here my whole life, theres always an event going on around there has good fields to play in.
My favorite park . always beautiful I always walk my Dog in the doggy area
The kids park is not sucure enough for me children The gates do not lock
A great place for the whole family. My kids and I love the place!
This has to be one of the worse public parks I have ever went to, no real restroom especially for women and no way to lock the porta-potty , pool not open and even if it was looked shabby. Not a good look at all.
Had a great baby shower out there, great place for cook outs
Playground needs a new paint job. Has a very nice skate park and huge pool.
I like this park. I come here every summer to do bbqs or just to hang at the pool. My only complaint, a fight breaks out everytime were there.
Peaceful fun atmosphere. I enjoy sitting by the water and chillin.
A park for everyone.....small kids skateboarders trackrunners basketball big kids swimming barbecue fishing etc etc etc
Its a nice place to relax. You could go for a run, get some ices, or just sit down and enjoy your day
Its got a track for running, thats the best thing. The pool is a city pool an not that great. Mabey if they had better hours, they might have gotten four stars.
I had an Amazing time with Fast Food Justice. It was a good turnout. I love our growing family. Stand for change!
Pool was amazing nice and clean very feel good vibe
Im only giving 4 stars because the rims have no net. But overall, the place is really good
Jefferson Park has been a beautiful for many years. It was well patrolled, kept very clean and the parks department always did a great job in maintaining the grounds. Every May & June the baseball and softball fields were properly maintained. The various courts (handball, tennis, basketball) got a new fresh coat of paint. The pool was scraped and repainted.Well since DiBlasio took office everything has changed. NYPD patrol has ceased, this year Di Blasio and Micthell Silver decided not to repaint the courts as well as filling up the pool without scrapping away old loose paint and not painting the pool at all. Once again Di Blasio is taking NYC back in time to the 70s & 80s. Undoing everything Michael Bloomberg worked so hard to upgrade this city.Beautification in NYC Parks is very important. It makes individuals respect & care about our grounds. If it looks good people treat it good. Our youth and families need these parks.
Good for the familyGood for the kidsThe view ( is beautiful )It is safeCops everywhereI will suggest ( is better to go in SpringAnd in the summerYOU WILL LOVE IT
I be there .. You shh.know that
Soccer field, track, barbecue grills, and swimming pool. Dog run in the back by the 11th St. Bridge which goes over the FDR to the the East River Esplanade.
BBQ area, pool & park for the kids great place .
The mobile toilettes are never serviced. They are a major health hazard.
Good park. Especially love the big fields and the adult calisthenic area near the track.
A very nice park I used to go there when I was a kid its gotten better in the years
Been going to this park since a child, has a place u can jog,huge swimming pool, baseball field,basketball court, a lot of benches, and ab area for exercise.
Its a great place to bbq & bring the kids. There are no bathrooms! 3 portapotties and needless to say disgusting.
Harlem skatepark 114th street and the FDR. Similar build to “cooper park” in brooklyn. Fun mellow mini Ramp. Definitely worth a trip uptown, but make sure to hit Lenox ledges while you are in the area, the best ledges in NYC!
This place is a good pool because its clean but the only thing is that you have to use a master lock else you cant get in
Chill pool vibe. Cant beat free. Workers should not be hollering at women using the pool! People just want to go and relax not feel pressured.
It gets a five from me because I grew up here. There are lots of stores, supermarkets and themall are close by. Ok pool soccer field basketball courts, handball courts and the center is alot nicer than it was when I was growing up.
Very beautiful and filled with a lot of great history.
I love this park, wish I could go more often
Very clean and much safer than it used to be.

2022-04-10Decent park for sports, baseball ⚾️ and soccer. Drainage could be better, but there is parking. They have a porto-potty seems like the regular bathrooms arent open (atleast when we were there). Lots of cops around if youre into that scene.
Review №2
2022-06-23It good, the track is great for a good workout. You could do a quick picnic, take the kids to the park, dog run is fair.
Review №3
2022-03-24Small park 3 blocks with common amenities like basketball courts, handball, track, workout area, playground and skate park. Theres also a public pool during summer season that usually offers swim lessons, and indoor activities vary on the time of year. Play area for kids can be extremely crowded on nice days but its also closed to Costco, Target, Aldi, Marshalls.
Review №4
2022-02-21That dam park is horrible I love the track and the football field but other then that dont ever leave anything laying around. Always stay alert especially at night many people have been mugged and a body was found inside the trash not to long ago. Overall the the running track is great👍
Review №5
2017-11-21Its a beautiful space in East Harlem that the city has not invested in. My son started having flag football scrimmages here on Sundays in October, 2017 and the bathroom has been closed every time he has played. The baseball field is dirt. The soccer field that they utilized a few weeks ago is dirt as well. The park has a lot of potential, but the city has not done much with it. There is no parking lot, so you have to find street parking or pay to park in the lot on E. 111th if they have space.

2019-04-27Nestled on the edge of East Harlem. Thomas Jefferson Park is one of the forgotten beautys of NYC. A park full of amenities for all ages ranging from Track and Field to outdoor swimming. Thomas Jefferson Park also boasts a Recreation center for children & seniors.

2019-06-28What a beautiful park! The largest public pool Ive ever seen filled with kids enjoying themselves, also basketball courts, playground for the little ones and a very popular skate park. This day Ryan Sheckler was at the park visiting with the skateboarders. We enjoyed ourselves very much. #RyanSheckler

2022-03-27It’s a nice park, big open fields. However it’s right next to the highway so it’s quite loud and the air is very polluted, the skate park is small.
