One of my favorite - and most underrated parks in NYC. Absolutely beautiful, perfect mix of charm. Very family and community oriented, they constantly have farmers markets and events for the community - which always have incredible turn outs!

Love it here! Off leash hours 9pm - 9am so many dogs go in the morning between 8 and 9 in particular. Beautifully kept park with tennis courts and a farmer's market every weekend.
