Tremont Park is a medium-size green space in the middle of Tremont neighborhood in north-western…read moreBronx. It borders to the north with E Tremont Avenue, to the east with Arthur Avenue, to the south with E 175th Street, and to the west with Third Avenue. On the north-west corner there's an ornate staircase that climbs to some grassy fields. In 1995 the park was renovated, and several additions were made: chess/checkers tables, a baseball/softball field, spray showers, racquetball courts, and some new trees. The place is peaceful... I was here last weekend and there was barely anybody around. You would think that those amenities would attract locals, but it's just not happening. You can tell that, despite its huge potential, this park has been neglected by the city. The staircase is heavily damaged, the grass is a couple of feet high in some places, and there's a feeling of partial abandonment strolling it's paths. It's a pity, because it could look awesome. The close vicinity of this park with commercial and touristic Arthur Avenue could play a vital role in resuscitating its usage. However, the Italian Arthur Avenue is several blocks north, and a few minutes walk from here.

Cool Park in the middle of Broadway. Traffic is running North on one side and South on the other…read more It's Close to the subway trains. Lots of foot traffic to people watch. Lots of people chilling on the benches. A gathering spot for neighborhood residents. There's a beautiful dedication with a monument to those who served. It is well kept. See my photos. I enjoyed my time there looking at the Joy Brown on Broadway sculptures. People kept sitting on them. Finally they'd move on. I eventually took a few shots of the sculptures without men on their cell phones sitting there! If you're in the neighborhood you may want to stop and check this park out. Especially if you're a statue/monument fanatic!

I was walking in the area and walked by this small park and decided to take a quick stroll inside…read more I loved the two statues on the floor that were looking at each other. I saw kids walking by and taking cool pics. I can see this being a great spot for people in the community who live and work here to take a small respite right in the middle of busy Broadway and St. Nicholas. Its a great spot to enjoy lunch or unwind after a busy day at work. There's a beautiful bronze group sculpture which focuses on local veterans killed during service. I googled this park and learned Mitchel Square honors the memory of John Purroy Mitchel (1879-1918), the youngest mayor in the history of New York City. Beautiful park to check out when you're in the neighborhood.

Checked out this historic park in Inwood. Isham Park is located on Broadway alongside the 207th…read moreStreet Subway. Lots of history about this. First it was owned by a local family. Then it was donated to the city and became one of the many parks. Before you go it helps to learn some things about the history and the area around. It's a 20 acre historic park created by gifts to the city from the William Bradley Isham estate and his family. The park once extended to the Harlem River, but now equals the original Isham estate after the creation of Inwood Hill Park and reconfiguration of the area streets. Isham was a leather merchant. Later he became the vice-president and later a director of the Bank of the Metropolis, and the president of the Bond and Mortgage Guarantee Company, a member of the Down Town Association, the Metropolitan Club, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New England Club, the New York Botanical Garden, and the New-York Historical Society, and among other things. In 1862, Isham rented a house and property on this site from the estate of Dr. Floyd T. Ferris, a physician who died seven years earlier. The two-story house was built in the 1850s and was an interesting brick and frame building, having a spacious central hall with a winding staircase and gallery from which the rooms extend in three wings. It was used for various civic activities, including a museum and a place for the Daughters of the American Revolution for meetings, but was torn down in the 1940s due to its deteriorating condition. Two years after renting it, Isham bought the property as his summer estate. It also included a greenhouse, a stable, and a cold spring, one of the few natural sources of fresh water in the area. When Isham was having a wall constructed along the Broadway edge of the estate, a worker found an old milestone that read "12 Miles from New York." Isham had it built into the wall, just north of the entrance to the estate, where it still exists. Unfortunately the original lettering has worn away though. On its southern end are some exposed marble outcroppings which date from the Cambrian period. This is a popular location for college geology classes to visit. A public garden is in the northeastern corner. The rest of the park has trees and brush growing pretty wildly, although the center of the park at the top of the hill is a lawn good for picnics and stuff. Easiest way to get here is take the A Train and get off in Inwood. It's basically just next to it and there's no need to find parking spots. There's often festivals and other things.

There are children and adult swings along with sprinklers when the weather gets warm. It is very crowded especially the baseball field where there are games happening along with the crowded basketball courts. Many benches all around the park for people to sit. Good thing about this park is that there are restrooms opened to the public. Usually public restrooms in the parks are closed but thankfully this park keeps them opened. Park is close to the G, J, M,and Z trains so it's very convenient to get there. Also in the middle of the Lindsay Park Housing Corp buildings.

The park is overall safe. It seems like an okay place for throwing a ball around. The park has a large amount of baseball fields. This park seems to be more of a place for local schools and youth leagues to meet them for the public. It looks clean but the area isn't great. Keep in mind this is East Williamsburg. It's really a separate area. This is still up and coming. It's no McCarren Park of course. One advantage is there's less of a crowd. The people seem more authentic here too.

For starters, it's just a wonderful use of what was dead space underneath the subway overpass. It can be a little noisy, but shade on a hot summer day is pretty clutch. Perhaps it's because my kids are still little, but we get a whole lot of use out of the southern side of the park with the swings, jungle gyms, and splashpad. As it's fairly new (5-6 years old or so?), these things are still state of the art and a lot of fun for the kiddos. We've also had plenty of luck hosting birthday parties there, as it's not nearly as mobbed as Carroll Park a few blocks north. I also look forward to when we can take more advantage of the basketball courts, turf field, and maybe even the skate park on the north side of the space. Really, just an excellent playground to have in the area.

Divided by Nelson St you get a combination of little kids to big kids to adult fun options. The South side has excellent playground equipment that is generally protected from a lot of the direct elements (think rainy day play). Cross over to the North side and you have some turf area for small soccer or similar. Short gated directly next to that there is a 3' mini ramp, rail and box features for the skate rat in you (or your kid). A small "exercise " area divides the skate zone from the half court basketball net. All of the North has a jogging/biking/walking track around the enclosed park. Considering it was a slog to complete and it's proximity to my home I'm loving St. Mary's!
