Starlight Park

"This park is a gem. Thank you to the Bronx River Alliance for everything you do to ensure that Bronxites still has access to not only a pleasant, but an edible garden (props to SWALE for giving BX a chance so many years ago). If you want a little reprive from the hustle and bustle of the area this is the place to visit. Be sure to check out the BRA website for ways to get involved and events going on."

"May 2023: The Starlight Park Phase 2 project was completed in early May 2023, and the result is amazing. There are winding paths, blue bridges, awesome views of the trains, and a dog run. But, the restrooms in Starlight Park are not yet opened because they are in a part of the park along Sheridan Boulevard that is still under construction as of today (Memorial Day 2023). The park is still worth a visit, though. Update from November 2023: All of the construction work is done and the restrooms are now usable. A sign over there says the restrooms are open only from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. I believe the restrooms are too small for a park of this size (the mens' bathroom only has one toilet, one urinal, and one sink)."

"The park is very clean and nice for a walk, it has a dog run, kids can ride their bikes, has a play yard and a football court. There is a lot of mosquitos due to the river, wear repellent or if taking infants carry a mosquito net with stroller."

"Nice space. Good walking/running paths. Lots of cookouts in the open areas. Nice play area with sprinklers for the kids to enjoy. Safe during peak times with a police presence there, particularly in the main field area. Lonelier areas throughout the park but never felt unsafe. Parking along both sides of Sheridan Blvd. wasn't to bad with people coming and going often. Kudos to those (groups/companies) responsible for building this section up. Years ago there wasn't much desireable here...but they've really built it up into a place where not only locals can enjoy, but others can come to visit...doesn't happen to much is the less desireable neighborhoods, or boroughs for that matter. Great job!"

"This park is even bigger since the last time I was here and it is my childhood park, the development that was made ro this park is insane. There are so many different paths to walk, a bunch of seating areas and if you are a person who wants alone time, this is one of those parks. So much evergreen to look at and don't get me started on the river, one thing I don't like though is the people who throw trash in the park & the river. But overall 100% worth coming to this park for bbq's, just to have a seat or relax on the grass & the 6 train is near"
