This summer, they had the Charlie Parker jazz festival at the amphitheater. This was a great free event for everyone to enjoy. They have various performances throughout the year at the amphitheater, and the best part is that most are free events for the community to enjoy. In addition to the free events, this is a great park for families to enjoy. There are playgrounds for the kids, picnic areas with barbecue grills. They have a free outdoor gym where mostly men lift weights and exercise. You can also take exercise classes in the recreation center and swim in the outdoor pool in the summer. I completely recommend coming here to visit during the day while the sun is still out. However, this place gets very sketchy once it's dark, with people coming to use drugs or take part in x rated activities. Just use common sense and come here during the day.

Named after Marcus Garvey and in one of the increasingly affluent parts of Harlem, this park has a lot to offer. Marcus Garvey Park offers an intermediate sized swimming pool, an often used amphitheater, barbecue pit area, picnic area, a meeting center (which often offers CPR classes), playgrounds, baseball field with dugouts, book boxes, sprinklers, a dog run, and also free Wi-Fi access in case you tire of staying put and want to move elsewhere. This park is very well maintained and patrolled. MGP is easily one of the best parks in Harlem. During the Summer, one can often find artwork installations and artists throughout the park, concerts and a variety of community events ranging from swing dance to spoken word which is always an interesting pleasure. Flowers are always in bloom, so much so that the Marcus Garvey Park gardens have won awards within the City. Definitely a great stop to check out in Harlem.

The long-awaited Davis Center at the Harlem Meer finally is open!!!…read more Living next to this northern part of Central Park, it adds a lot to the neighborhood - bringing well-needed state-of-the-art recreation facilities compared to the prior Lasker Pool and Rink. Together with all the adjacent design improvements to the Harlem Meer shoreline and nearby outdoor park space, the Davis Center certainly provides an amazing resource for us in the community. It's a big deal! Opening Day provided a well-enjoyed kick-off to its programs in the new Harlem Oval public green, (i.e., the covered Gottesmen Pool and Rink,) but welcoming the Davis Center's everyday benefits, adjusting with the season! The Harlem Oval will function in the Spring and Fall, while the Pool will open in June. The Rink will operate during the Winter. Come over to enjoy those immediately available free and low cost activities such as games, yoga, serene retreat sessions, and line dancing. Beyond the Davis Center's views overlooking the Meer, you'll notice the facility's beautiful Adirondack Granite, wood panel ceilings and picnic tables, deep green tiles in the shape of Central Park, plus walkway and green roof above, but what may be less visible is the special bird-friendly glass used to prevent inadvertent flights into the Davis Center windows. Take one of the 3 approaches to the Davis Center that have received a superb refresh: through Huddleston Arch in the North Woods; over the new Kepner Boardwalk along the South edge of the Meer; or from East Drive via the pedestrian bridge over the reestablished water flow between the Loch in North Woods and the Meer. (This reconnected water features have been designed to eliminate the flooding that plagued this park area since the culvert built in its place during Lasker's construction in the late '60s.) Thank you Central Park Conservancy and everyone involved for making the Davis Center happen!

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.
