★★★★★Featured review by Heart & Soul Concerts

Great part of the upper east side of the Bronx NY. Easily accessible via exit 11 off New England Thruway I95. The is a public swimming pool, basketball and soccer field, children's playground with slides, swings etc. There's also a performance stage and lots of open areas for picnicing and gatherings. Occasionally, there are food and beverage vendors in and around this park area. Like the day we were happy to suppor Black businessman Dru and son Jermaine and their homemade Lemonade Stand on the corner of Ely Ave and Arnow Avenue.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Excellent choice for families with children of all ages seeking a full day of activities. The combination of swimming, playgrounds, and sports courts makes it ideal for mixed-age groups. Plan to visit during daylight hours for easier navigation and bring supplies for picnicking in the open areas.

“It's a great looking park, i link the layout. They have beaches and all different areas. They had basketball courts, a tennis court, and all the other basic things. I came night so it certainly wasn't packed. It's got stairs on some sides, but it was no problem for me. I was glad that it was nice park, that seemed to have a lot of features. I think it can be a little challenging to navigate inside the park at night, it would definitely help to have a flashlight.”
