Is a good park for the kids and groups have tennis and run 🏃♂️
I love walking around the park in the mornings. Beautiful nature, peaceful. I hugged a tree upon invitation. I giggled for quite a few minutes. Clean and well tended. Everyone can get their excercise groove on. Its absolutely great. I love this park!!
Its a very nice park. Theres a gym in the park and theres a track as well...
Lots of benches, really great childrens playground, and a well maintained outdoor running track. Nice quiet area, not many people in the park despite it being a beautiful day outside.
The first love of my life began here, I am biased but this park is spectacular.
Nice park for the kids to play
This is one of my favorite places to relax or take a nice walk. Theres a big playground for kids and a running/walking track for everyone.
First time I went, it was fun. They had events for families to participate and staff was friendly. There is a large running track and field to play sports and the park is overall clean. The second time I visited, it was like going to a totally different place. There were teenagers jumping a girl, and a crackhead yelling about her family issues. Bathrooms were nasty and smelled like seafood city. Needs improvement.
Very good birthday celebration for Lisa lots of friends
Really nice place for kid to play. Also has a track to run and play all kinds of sports.
Great big park and they do great events so stay on the look out for their free events that u can take your family to.
Grew up in this area all my life, this park has always been great to walk and spend a morning or afternoon. Only thing keeping it from perfect is cleanliness. They dont seem to give much attention to the bathrooms. Also, better care of the park perimeter with clean up.I am sure there is staff for that but there are many times garbage will still be in places after weeks. I personally tend to clean up the dog park myself everytime i am there.
Nice place but some of the people are kinda sketchy.. even some of the parents at the playground. Be careful who you let your kids play with. Alot of the women at the playground are struggling single moms, with multiple baby fathers, they look overwhelmed, children look neglected and lack manners, courtesy and respect.
This was very nice place to visit. We took our daughter there and she had a fun time. I must admit I had a good time also. For me it was the energy of the people. Seeing everyone having a good time.
I enjoy walking around the track while listening to my music. It does my heart and mind good. I enjoy watching adults staying active and children alike. Its even better in retirement.
I had stop going there for over three years because of an medical condition that I have, but it felt good returning to the park after all that time I thank Almighty God that I was able to live and see it again and for the last two weeks the weather has just been fantastic, so again I thank Almighty God.
It is a very quiet park, it has a very nice soccer field, some good spaces to have a good picnic with the family, a playground for the children, a jogging track, a large area to ride a bicycle or skateboard, 6 fields tennis courts, 2 basketball courts, lots of benches to sit and relax, a very good park to relax
Good Park for workout ans space. And very sad the Center is close for Senior and adult people. I miss the adult class programs, yoga, workout and speed bike.
Williamsbridge Playground is a good Park to bring your children to. In this park there is a tennis court race track field swings slides and bunch more. It has a lot of things, and just amazing
This park is a true family oasis. This park is a hidden family gem. Great childrens park, running track, jungle gym, swings and picnic tables.
Great park to exercise and have the kids play and run around. Been coming here for years but there are also quite a few folks that are very disrespectful. Beware of the people that come and smoke weed in and around areas where kids are playing. Specially around the new skate park.
The park is very nice
My family loves this Park. So do I , but I am a bit picky about this park because either it gets really packed or because the groups of teenagers
Nice! I played football with my husband there in the snow again. We did our dance while was snowing! I remember I was wearing a short white sexy dress we was side by side staring into each eyes like no one else was there. However, our kids was with the Nanny. 😌
In this park, I found myself. As in once I was lost and wanted to blow my brains out but this park turned my life around. Being as it may be, this isnt a morbid or sad story, this is a story of something stronger, more tangible than hope. Rebellions are built on hope. So are Teepees and wigwams. The playground in its self isnt where my life turned around into something more better, more beautiful but the playground and its environs. Granted adults without children arent permitted in NYC play grounds , I am an adult, I am a Serviceman , and I had this experience about 5 weeks ago at or around 2A.M. so its not like there were kids there and I was just having a moment in front of a bunch of innocent civilians, it was at 2A.M. and my experience took up the whole park and the playground.
Its really awesome in the morning, but in the afternoon yand nights is crowded and dangerous.The basketball courts are in bad shape
Beautiful park
I love the Running Track there Theres great atmosphere whenever Im there,
Very nice park. Full football field with a track, tennis courts, 3 childrens playgrounds, sprinklers in the summer. It also has a recreation center with a decent gym (for a rec center). They also started doing movie night in the summer for the kids.Our whole family enjoys this park very much. Highly recommend.
I go here regularly to get my walk on.Great park always filled with people.
This park ,this world is so beautiful ❤️Note: please people who are in charge of NYC PARKS this and all other NYC parks need a decent clean , bad people draw bad simbols for humans all over the parks(walls,floors, trees) becareful. Use proper tools to remove them.
Love playing tennis, riding my bicycle, playing basketball, roller skating and more
Not bad, however the park is tailored to children and teens up to age 14. Older adolescents have limited options for fun here. One upside is that a skate park will be built here so that might help liven things up a bit.
Is good place to do sports activities and for children playgrounds
The park is okay, would only be better if people respected it and kept it clean. It does get completely packed of people all agdd, so if you have little kids you must keep a big eye on them especially in the playground. Teenagers will literally play in the toddler playground and even get on the swings.
The Oval is a very beautiful and safe place to exercise, play, and relax. The staff tend to the plethora of flowers, shrubs, and trees. There is often police patrolling and occasionally high school sports teams practicing.
A really nice secret hideaway. Sad you find parks in the Bronx by accident. You could live a block or two away and not know it is there. No signs nothing. NYC is very stratefied and the city government has no respect for its residents. Particularly outer borough residents. Dogs leave piles in front of our houses and there is no enforcement from the city. Yet, they have triple and quadruple signs for parking that you need a special training to understand. They completely exploit us with parking tickets. Why are the fines so high compared to other cities. Then they put bikes, outdoor dining, low fire hydrants, and limitless nonparking zones in parking spaces in a city totally overcrowded. Why are those eent a bikes taking up parking spaces. I want out of the city. Why are the tolls high here low everywhere else. Where ia the regard.
Excellent place, quite spacious for sports, walking, taking the dogs etc going with the family is spectacular
Williamsbridge oval is really a great park , theres just several things that can be fixed. First ,its hard to run the track. You have this youth football practice almost everyday. I am totally for conditioning our youth but instead of taking the field , theyre all over the track . My question is, in order for the people responsible for this activity , do they have a city park permit . Secondly the parents and coaches park their vehicles right in front of the park entrance leaving little space to enter. And last , these young men with the motor bikes , they are out of control . Unsafe conditions. Other than that , the park is fair
Theres a lot of activities in this park. Its always a lively place.
My favorite park it has a huge soccer or football field, it has a skate park, tennis courts and playgrounds. Lots of fun.
A great place for children and adults of all ages! Therere two seperate playgrounds for small and big kids, a wonderful turf field with a nice track around it. They have basketball hoops and 8 tennis courts that are in great condition. Plenty of places to sit and an overall nice family atmosphere.
Its a great family park! We love it and been going there for 20yrs. Now! Best neighborhood bronx park!
Very relaxing park. People with their dogs and families and some school football games, events for seniors and etc!
Great playground for kids! They have sprinklers and plenty of big and little kid swings. The park also has benches and picnic tables.
I grew up in this playground and to see the improvements that were made to the Oval as we call it is amazing. There are playgrounds, running tracks, skate board park, sprinklers and a community building!!!
The park was very clean n the people were very friendly !!!! The new renovations r very nice...the food vendors were very nice n there prices r great ...
Interesting and utilized park playground. Game courts clean. Young childrens seeing play area: unfortunately an unsanitary mess. Neighbors bring their dogs to Doo Doo...and do not clean up the mess. Never saw a park so filled with dog mess! This is a great neighborhood too. How sad. No respect for children wanting to play...and others wanting to use the park.
....great place to exercise for free- very well maintained!Highly recommend!👌
Grounds not well-maintained. Not a nice place to walk. Sports facilities seem good. Shame
Wish the parks crew would keep up maintaining the grounds. Over grown plants and grass. The dog park fences keep breaking. Also during the summer there would be poor water pressure, barley anything for kids to play on and get the relief needed. Alot of the garbages where over flowing with garbage.
Very quiet neighborhood very clean and no negative vibe .familys and food ppl and the night life is very cute
Great park for kids and adults. Skatepark is also nice
Our Family enjoy this park so much to do and we love the race track.
Nice job clearing snow from path
They have recently painted lines for pickleball courts and have nets as well.
Always in Utilization, Sports, and Families taking in the Day, Great asset for the Neighborhood, and Well Kept by Park Dept Crews, dont Forget the Effort it takes to make it look like it Does, thanks,2021!!! People are Out , And Many are Going to The Oval, The Community Value That EveryoneCan Count on. Stay Well. And Remember the Covid Protocol for Your Protection & That Of Other Community Members. Be Safe.
I love the trees and flowers in the Spring whilst walking around the outer edges. My children are adults now, so I cant go on the swings, my favorite thing, but what can you do?
Super chill, lots of space and shade. Multiple areas to play different sports like volleyball, basketball, futból and football. There are also many places down bainbridge to grab food and many vendors close by with chips, candy and ice cream.
Great place to bring the childrens to play and spend the day with the kids and family and have a lot of fun together.
Great family park,something for everyone. Tennis, football/ soccer field. 3kids play grounds. Running track and bball courts. Restrooms available. Close to major bus and trains.
Great place to relax,play tennis, football or run around track.
Beautiful and well maintained. Has a skateboard park, basketball court and soccer Field. Its so clean!
Very nice and very clean. Great place to take your family. There are multiple playgrounds throughout the park.
Was nice park. Good for jogging Now lots of trash. This Park department employee they are dont care .
The Oval is a hidden gem in the Bronx!! It has a track, football field, BB courts, skate court. As well as playgrounds for children.EXCELLENT
I used to be employed here, the staff are great. They keep this park clean. Even tho.. you have people in the neighborhood that trash it.. everyday the do the most to keep it clean.
My dog loves the dog park i just want people that use it to clean up after themselves....its not fun bring your pup to the dog park only to find surprises left by previous users...💩💩💩
Most favorite place to spare time with myself.n
Well you have three different Williamsbridge that connect together you have the Williamsbridge where you catch the Long island railroad. then next to that you have the Williams bridge where you go underneath and you can erase the little model cars down there it has a water. And then you have the Williams bridge that has the big playground the track field soccer the bathrooms and everything else its pretty cool
Williamsbridge Oval is a great place to spend time outdoors. Tons of green space. Play all types of sports or jog the track. There are fun playgrounds, a center, there is even a dog run for our furry friends! Movie night in the park are fun. Visit the famous Valerian House. There is so much to see and do, you will never get bored.
A very quiet oasis within the city limits for meditation, practicing your favorite sport, or even to improve on your long distance running. The crowds dont get overwhelming here, therefore you wont experience the normal frustrations that go hand and hand with parks. Its a very good dog run on the above platform and stroller walk around the track. Now the basketball court in my opinion is more of a practice court over a gaming court. (3 on 3 or less)Awesomely there is a local running crew here by the name of The Bronx Nomads. A really helpful bunch who have a variety of experience feom marathoners to beginner runners. They have a Personal Trainer/Coach in the group and if you are part of the team hell advise you on topics. Youve got vegans and carnivores running together without judgment so its safe to say that its rather easy to get along with this group.But I have seen other personal trainers giving boxing lessons or fitness sessions at the track area as well.
Great park. Dog park with multiple sections. Full track. Tennis courts. Basketball courts. Bathroom and multiple exits.
My baby loves that Park, secured, clean and with kids and parents
Play area is closed, make sure to bring roller blades, a kite or a bike to keep active. It was pleasant
Complete sports Complex for almost every sport including soccer ⚽️ tennis 🎾 and skateboarding they even play cricket 🏏
Very nice park for kids and adults. You have a running track and a park recreational center. No BBQ allowed

2022-05-10A nice spot in that area of the Bronx. Love to come here play tennis. The public courts are free, which makes them appealing to those who can’t afford pricey tennis courts. There’s a football pitch, a track for running and area for kids to play!

2021-05-22The Playground is large enough, more spacious for various outdoor activities. Has an open field for various sporting activities with kids playing ground etc.The Playground has public toilet for both men and women.

2022-06-01Great place to go for a walk or recreate with your kids. I love it because they have a dog run and my dogs can play safely.
Review №4
2021-10-21We cant even use the field no more cause there is always a football team taking up the whole field. They got permit but the management should have permit limit cause it is a public park but the public cant even use it cause it always been taken by private users. There was a day we almost got jump by a team that was practicing football and the coach was leading it.it just sad that we are playing peacefully in a public park and a group people treating to beat us up if we dont leave claiming that they got permit.

2019-04-14Beautiful park. During summer it gets crowded but compare to some other parks located in the bronx this one is okay. I just wish it has more lightening at night specifically in the playgrounds and during winter time. In general is a good place to go for a run or spend sometime with the family
Review №7
2022-03-26A quiet, peaceful park that is treated with respect by the community. I rarely see anything mistreated or neglected, and the slopes make it a great place to exercise.

2022-05-05Park can be better maintained. But the activities and overall improvements to the park are great
