I'll be honest. The picture that pops up on Google and on Yelp is the field that you see. However,…read morethe park might be bigger than I simply had the privy to see. The park that I saw had a small dog park area than a park for children and then like a smaller court. No grass whatsoever. And it was on a dead end street. And across the street where houses. I did not see any field for soccer, football, anything like that. If this park is that large then maybe there's a different section. However, the section that is on the immediate block did not contain any of these things.

As a kid I would come to this park all of the time. It's fairly big and never too packed. There is…read morea small area for dogs( if you have a small dog just be careful because the gates are large and they may slip through the gates) there is a nice size playground, water area, basketball courts, handball,skating area and bathrooms in the middle. This park is hidden in the neighborhood so I dont think many people in the ridgewood area know about it. A block or so up is the YMCA and a police station. Its also not far from the freshpond train station for the M train. It's about 2-3 blocks from freshpond. I really like this park and I definitely recommend this place to others.

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.

It's new. It's clean. It's shaded…read more Lots to love about this newly completed (finally) playground(s). 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!

Today it was still covered in snow and ice from the recent winter storm we had. From what I've read it's also a decent catch and release fishing spot with largemouth bass, bluegills, and other fish populating the waters. Also, it's a 55 acre man made freshwater lake. I need to bring my rod here this summer and get some fishing in!

Theres 6 different play structures in this 1 park, and 4 areas of swings. Park is big and can be accessed from both 18th and 19th ave. Theres a baseball field, basketball cpurt and handball court. A tiny section for water play. Some of the play structures are unique in that it resembles more of rock climbing. What I dont like is that the areas arent fenced in so the kids can run far and itll be hard to keep track of where they are if you have more than 1 runner. Theres bathrooms available as well. Occasionally I see many classes of students come here and it gets crowded but when theyre not there, its quite nice to let my 2 year old run free. I just came on a tuesday morning 10am and there were no students here

There are lots of slides for kiddies to older children and all play areas are newly constructed, colorful, and sturdy. Kids will have fun running up and down all of the areas.
