Good park big with playground for kids restroom, places to buy food subway station, what I don't there homeless 4 o 5 sleeping there.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best suited for families comfortable with urban park settings who want sports facilities and convenience. The playground offers good size and amenities including restrooms and nearby food options, but parents should be prepared for homeless individuals in the area and potential traffic noise from the adjacent highway.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Be aware of homeless individuals sleeping in the park area
⏰Expect traffic noise from the nearby BQE highway, especially near seating areas
🎟️Take advantage of nearby subway access and food truck options
πŸš—Consider that recent 2020 redesign has divided the space and may feel less cohesive

β€œWhen I was there it is close for the β€œcorona β€œ but I remember is always busy ! It's a nice playground a large place that has various sports activities going on. The park is well kept and there were plenty of sports being played. Young parents also bring their small kids there for activities ,small jumps and some type of family things to do....”

β€œThere are so many homeless people around this park. Sometime we do go there to provide them food. Park itself is not big enough but it is still good for kids and youth to play basketball.”
