    This is by far my favorite place to play tennis indoors in NYC. Coming from Astoria, it takes me…read moreapproximately 45 minutes to get here and its not too far from the 4/5 or 2 Line. They have about 12 indoor hard courts that are very well maintained and well lit. The pricing here is by far the better compared to all the other places in the city. Off Peak it's $60/hr, Peak $105/hr. What gives this place the advantage is that it's much easier to book courts here at your preferred time than other places in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens. Especially if you are doing for more than an hour and/or more than one court. The place has a cool lobby / waiting area, with a snack bar, ping pong, and a pro-shop for racket stringing. Locker room is small but extremely clean and well maintained. The staff here is very friendly. My tennis league has voted to make this our weekly practice spot. My friends that I've played with here are huge fans.

I normally don't write reviews but the front desk attendant was so nice that it is warranted. She was a pleasure to work with today while my partner and I found a way to play for two hours. I would highly recommend using this facility for your tennis fix!

Location is just north of the clay courts on the grassy hill with some trees for cover and shade on the hill. Most people bring blankets because chairs are really only stable near the sidewalk or at the parking area at the top of the hill. Getting here is tricky if your map doesn't give good walking directions: GPS: 40.79786° N, 73.97636° W Arriving on foot- enter at 100th St, walk down and around a few curvy paths to find the bridge and underpass for the highway and then walk to the water and south from there to the courts. It's also possible to arrive by car in a small parking lot- but parking is limited and shared with tennis players so you'd want to arrive very early. The sound is projected into the hill; so it doesn't really travel too far beyond the picnic area and sometimes the sound team needs a little extra help, but the musicians are passionate and the scenery is lovely, so enjoy the free summer sounds and views!

To the point where I was wondering if there's staff to maintain the cleanliness of the park. I'm rarely in this area of New York but I'm hoping that if/when I decide to return here that the experience is better. It was also a little too loud in there for my liking.

Jackie Robinson park is teeming with activity year round for young and old alike. A somewhat recent boom in newer housing options has increased the value and potential of this slice of upper Harlem. As a result you will find a varying myriad of residents, visitors and tourists. During the warmer months you will find a number of dominoes tournaments, dance competitions, local bbqs, Harlem Little league games, NYC bike riding classes and accessing the Community center leads to more. I usually feel pretty safe during the early mornings, afternoons and early evenings. I can't speak on the nature of the park after the sun goes down but I'd say keep your wits about you as with any other park at night. The park is very well maintained with very little graffiti or waste laying about. If you don't mind a few (a lot of steep) stairs, this is also a great way to cut across the avenues between Frederick Douglass Blvd, St Nicholas and Amsterdam avenues. Bathrooms are well maintained for public park restrooms, but we all know that a Starbucks is right up the street. The park is easily accessed using the M3 and M10 buses or the A, C, B, D, trains to 145th Street. Taking the 1 or 3 trains will lead to a bigger workout. Go and have a great time.

It is a large public park, but of course, no Central Park for size comparison and neither the landscape of Conservatory Gardens which are my ultimate favorite. Nevertheless, it does contains beautiful full bloom lush green scenic landscaping with cohesive impact of a community park. It was built on a steep incline, which I surely felt as I was walking uphill on Cathedral Parkway and it was surely strenuous physical activity. There are outlook posts via stairs that fends a cliff-like towering view where visitors pause to intake a scenic views from above street level. These stairs are not ADA accessible. There are benches. The grounds are clean and peaceful. My visit was a fleeting moment in passage of my travels. It awoken my spirit to be grateful to be alive to see nature's beauty. My favorite are weeping willow trees which are beautiful and ultimate picturesque scenic for landscaping beauty, but to no avail. There are giant rock boulders that serve as fence or border. On Saturdays there is a outdoor farmers market. There is a bronze sculpture "Alfred Lincoln Seligman Fountain," by Edgar Walter dedicated 1914 depicting a bear leaning on rock hunting its prey with faun sheltering below and a adjacent plaque located north 114th Street and Morningside Avenue, at the foot of the stairway. This park is accessible via MTA NYC Transit B, C trains at Cathedral Parkway-110th Street station and local 1 train at Cathedral Parkway-110th Street station in Upper West Side, Manhattan, NYC.

St. Nicholas Park is like an urban oasis with lots of green space. Mostly safe during the day. There's lots of cool stairs. It has a pretty interesting design with it being on the side of a hill. Lots of stairs that are helpful getting up some of the more treacherous areas in the park. The park is like a big slope and it gets pretty steep. Has lots of bike and running paths on the upper area. There's also wide open spaces good for picnics. Festivals occur occasionally and there's some concerts. The stairs make for good exercise and there's always some exercise group here it seems. Could be cleaner. It need to be more maintained. There too often is lots of left behind junk and trash.

New York City College of CUNY is located within the perimeter edge of this park. St. Nicholas Park contains lots of lush fields of green lawns and abundant trees for 22.74 acreage. (source: https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/st-nicholas-park/history) I can visualize the autumn / Fall scenic landscaping of how beautiful the change of leaves color. I walked around the northern perimeter sidewalk which was very hilly as a uphill battle against gravity to ensure diaphragmatic breathing. St. Nicholas Park was built on a rugged mass of rock of steep, high elevation hills, rugged uneven terrain and irregular topography of northern Manhattan which has hills and steep inclines. Alexander Hamilton's 1802 estate, Hamilton Grange, was relocated to the St. Nicholas Park's northern end. This park gets the job done for my leisure of its history settled by Dutch farmers in the late 1600s and its lush green landscape scenery. Note: This park is easily accessible by B and C local trains at 135th Street station intersecting St. Nicholas Avenue. Bring a camera for scenic landscape photos and wear sneakers to climb the uphill gravitational battle.
