Reviews
"This park has a wall with two Kith Haring murals - Murals were well maintained, but the area and the 15 min walk from the subway felt a bit desolate/ eerie during the day, but would definitely recommend! Plus no tickets required, free for all to see."
"Pretty dope wall art. Lots of courts. Definitely could use some more attention to make it nicer but it's chill."
"Crack is still Wack. One thing: the mural is actually on the side of the Harlem River Dr, for some reason google maps doesnt allow to give review to that location (at least for me)."
"This park has been rebuilt in so many wonderful ways. 5 different full court basketball areas and 2 big handball courts and lots of seating makes this a must visit park for New Yorkers and tourists alike."
