You will see many families, people exercising, and doing yoga. There are two playgrounds and many other game areas as well as bathrooms. I walk here to use the walking and jogging path, as well as sit down afterwards and admire the trees and the view West of midtown. There are also benches specifically for doing sit-ups and pull-ups. Unlike many of the parks in the city, you will not see homeless people here or drug addicts. There is quite a bit of litter on the ground which is sad, since there are so many garbage cans in the vicinity. However, I am so happy to have found this park near my residence.

I'm delighted to have discovered this park. It appears small on a map, and it is, but feels wide…read moreopen and spacious once you're walking in it. There are trees, slopes, benches and all the other usuals in adequate abundance. I was worried that since it is near a high school it would become crowded and loud, but not so. The teenagers are scarce and mostly very polite. It is a happy place, where people bring their kids and dogs. For us young at heart, the swings are often available :) Pro-tip: for a tranquil, quiet stroll visit the ancillary cemetery where you can walk completely unhealed.

Stumbled across this dog park/bar after having dinner nearby. What struck our eye was, they had…read moremusic going, a DJ and the entrance looked like a beach. We weren't sure if they had a bar, or whether it was a dog park only, but they did. The bartenders were pretty cool, they didn't have many options, but I opted for a drink with Casamigos and Ginger Beer. The place had a nice vibe, along with views of the William Vale hotel, as a backdrop. I'd definitely return here in the future.

This park has come a long way since I was younger. The plus is that people who are moving into the…read moreneighborhood are the lucky ones because they get all the benefits of the new 2010 - 2012 renovations and the in progress renovations. In the 80s and 90s the front of the park was the area where all the drunks and druggies use to hang out. Not anymore those days are over. If you see pictures of this park from the 80s to now you wouldn't believe your eyes. There is a baseball field with fake grass, handball/ basketball courts, Bathrooms(winter 2012), swings for the older kids/adults and swings for small children, dog run and a garden that Alex runs, multiple water fountains, and spray showers. There are some days that you cannot play in the field because the local high school has permits for the field. This was never the case until that school moved into town. The field used to have no grass on it and it was a little torn up but no one complained. I feel as if this park got fixed only because of the yuppies and the new building that was put up called onemurrypark. It's really sad that these changes didn't happen for the locals. The plus side is that no one has to try and work there way into the surrounding stores to try and go to the bathroom. I remember throughout the years people would have to go around the corner to my house just to go. Either way this park will always hold 5 stars because I lived here my whole life. Granted when you walk around the area you tend to not know anyone but at least the rich people moving into the area are nice because they see you as a potential babysitter. I recommend checking out the sculpture that is currently inside the dog run this piece is called "Bigger Bird".But check it out before it's too late because I read that there were plans that they were going to take it away since the dog run ruined it. Also now this park has traffic lights on every corner something the locals tried to get back in the day that suddenly sprung up as soon as the yuppies moved in, so that's a plus even though we are no longer children and can cross the street with no issue. This park is really big (2.524 Acres) and it is something that you should check out. Your kids will love it!

All right for a dog park. It's okay for most times. This is located right next to Sternberg Park…read more It has space for more than a few dogs. There's also areas to get shade. It has small and large dog areas. It has enough room for several dogs at once. The people there are mostly friendly. It's also conveniently close to the main park.

I think it should be less crowded during the afternoon and/or weekdays since people are working. There is a playground for children that is right across the dog park.

The plaque says that it's a gift to the City of New York from an interested citizen. What a nice and generous thing to do if you have the means. It's a lot bigger than it appears. I walked from the West Side where I took a photo of the first sign to the East Side where I found a sign that said Pinetum East. There's one small area with picnic tables and then on the East Side a large picnic area. The space called the playground is swings and I saw adults doing exercises near a bar used for chin ups. I remember I never could do those pull ups when required in school. There's plenty of benches in the pines to sit peacefully. The trees are beautiful. I really enjoyed visiting this location today. I think it's a great place to meet friends for a picnic some day!
