Falta seguridad, limpieza en los baños públicos y áreas verdes. También falta patrullaje Policial. En las bancas públicas se nota denasiada presencia de personas durmiendo y en estado de ebriadad muy alto,.Lo que hace riesgoso para la seguridad de los niños y visitantes.

Its good--lots of places to play! It is often very crowded, so bring wet wipes--theres rarely TP in bathrooms, and people dont always pick up after their kids (food) or dogs (poo--especially in snow). Nice little running track, places to skateboard, work out, jungle gyms for both little and mid-sized kids. Water in summer. Until a big storm hit a couple years ago there were big, beautiful trees. The Parks Dept. has done a decent job of trying to replace them. Theres a dog run too!

The park is fine, but crowded. The dog park is garbage if you have a non-small dog. All the owners crowd in one small area, which means the dogs crowd there too, which means any level of aggression compounds itself into a full-on redline maniac incident simply because all the dogs are in one place. If owners spread out more itd help a lot but people love sitting on the dang benches and so its never gonna change.

Great park and the people here. Without this park I wouldnt have had some of my childhood memories and all the times walking home from school. The strong suit of this park is the shortcut. You can easily walk from irving avenue to the middle of knickerbocker avenue in 5 minutes its also has a big playground and some times stands to buy food or drinks for the little kids big grass and an amazing place to go

If youre a skater who lives in the area this park is good for a flat ground sesh, game of skate and chilling. Its also a cool spot for non skaters a.k.a pedestrians. They never complain about us skating and we never complain about them sitting, chatting, or instagramming here. Theres a playground for the kids and a sprinkler when it gets really hot. It actually amazes me that skaters arent harassed here.

A Lovely outdoor, picnic, gathering ooasis in a concrete ocean. Why? Meander on over and tou know. Enjoyed entire block sized green lawns, tress, picnic area. Host to events, celebrations both for personal and professioñam. Large Iron Gates at each entry way that usually say open throughout the seasons. Sunday is perfectly located BLOCKs away. Allowing you to hear the birds sing. Remarkable!

I love park since I was a baby/kid i sudden and I have a few days of the park. Every day I was going to the park everyday. But now I dont go to park anymore. Because I getting big girl now. But their water in the summer to get wet . for everybody. The Strategy is a bit more about the other like people do crazy things sometimes . but I love park.

Great park! The playground needs some TLC but is mostly adequate. The local precinct gives out too many permits to churches in the warm weather months which is not a good thing. The park turns into a place to be yelled at through loud speakers by self-righteous religious religious people which diminishes any enjoyment the park might provide.

Andrea Fjeld

Lovely little park. In the summer there are children playing catch, skateboarding, and having an overall great time. Theres also a farmers market that pops up every so often and plenty of street vendors for when you need a snack in the sun. So, go and spend a lazy day lounging on the lawn — you wont regret it.

Es un parque que cuenta con una zona especial para perros, canchas de baloncesto y voleyball, parque infantil y es posible trotar alrededor del parque

No me gusta hay mucho vendedor ambulante los baños muy sucios y gente borrachos y drogadictos que les faltan al respeto a los niños

Franco Campese

Great park in the neighborhood with lots of space, basketball courts, soccer field, wall ball court and playground for the kids. This is perfect if you have pets too, or if you want to take a few laps around the park. Fun to hang out on a lazy day and people watch too.

Has two dog runs (one for large dogs and one for small dogs), but theyre dirt not grass and pretty gross. The water fountain has rarely been working in the large dog run too. Otherwise its nice to have a park in the area. Can be a bit creepy after dark.

Love Shit

I grew up playing in this park, I rate it a 3 because it used to be the best , used to have way more fun things to do for kids , and now alot of things were taken out for "safety" just because a few irresponsible parents didnt watch their kids

Bryan Tirado

This park oh man this park my childhood its here since I moved on 2006 this park has been my friend n great place to be and hang out. Summer they give movies for kids and for a basketball lover the tournament its always great for our youth.

Barbara Herrera

Is a good place to enjoy at outdoor and jogging. Un buen lugar para disfrutar al aire libre y trotear,

Steven Anderson

Pleasant, clean local park with a variety of facilities, including a very nice playground and courts for basketball and handball. There are plenty of shaded grassy areas and a large central area frequented by skateboarders.

Tyler Lund

A small but nice block park in Bushwick. Not a ton to do here, especially in the winter. The area is nice to explore with lots of street art. Not the cleanest or safest feeling park, but decent for getting some fresh air.

Jaime Kruse

This park is well utilized by the community, and includes two dog parks (small dogs and big dogs). Because it is highly utilized by the community, I wish it was better taken care of for everyone. But this is NYC lol

Carolyn Gilliam

Its a park! Its got cool skateboarders and crack heads and guys working out and people jogging and families doing stuff and pups running around in their own, smaller park. Also a parrot mosaic which is rad.

Trezell Truesdale

The park is the biggest in the area plus for people who have dogs of any size the is two different play areas. Only downfall is some seat are directly in the sun and that can become a problem.

Fantástico. Muita segurança para crianças .podem brincar a vontade. Com var iOS brinquedos

Wayne Lee

Nice park to bring the kids to the playground, but teenage kids there openly smoke marijuana where the skate boarders skate. Its illegal to smoke in parks in NYC...but marijuana?

Jaime Berrezueta

Bonito lugar, me encontré con un mexicano, que me contó su historia de vida.

Eduardo Avalos

I came here for a movie screening of "Selena," and the park was very family friendly. It is without a doubt the center of public life in this neighborhood in Brooklyn.

Violeta Escamilla

No me gusta es sucio y no es muy agradable para los niños. ..

Ellen Gomory

Rafael Hernandez

Park was a former place of illegal activity and was named in honor of a loved community activist who fought to change that,Maria Hernandez Park.

Calum McMillan

Love this park. Theres a circular path around the park that you can walk or run laps on. One of many wonderful gems in this lovely neighborhood.
