“Love this park. I come here to workout occasionally. It has a massive track, soccer field, outdoor pool (open in the summer), handball, rockwall and basketball courts. There's a small area where you can do some calisthenics, lots of benches to sit at around the track as well as a few seating areas.”

“Pretty new and nice Park. Very big and open space that is supposed to take a lot of people but unfortunately due to circumstances is almost completely empty. There were a couple kids playing basketball on the courts and kids in the skate park but other then that not much. Can definitely see there being a possiblity post covid how this park can be really useful and active within the community.”

“This park is always wonderful in any kind of weather. I always feel good when I come here and most of the time I ride my BAT CYCLE to this park and watch people play football , soccer and just watch the kids play. It really make my heart feel so happy. And since this month is July the pool is open for everyone.”

“It is mostly clean, perfect for all forms of exercise, a few spots to du pull ups, pushup, chest and core stuff. No real grass that bummed me out coming from the Carribbean but the turf is ok”

“Absolutley love this pool. Not just bc it's the closets I can get to but the wait in line is never too long. They are organized and strategic when it comes to the line being overly too long. They staff is typically the stern yet friendly! They also give free lunch during the pool break, female locker and pool pool itself is spacious. I make my way here every summer since moving to ENY.”
