Reviews
"The story of the Collyer Brothers is fascinating urban lore. A cautionary tale to hoarders and all people whose homes begin to fill with junk. The fact that their building was razed and this very cute corner lot park now exists in it's place delights me to no end. Google Collyer Brothers if you don't already know their story. Enjoy"
"A super small park. The size of an apartment around here"
"This is not a park. This is a garden where a house once stood that housed 2 hoarders who were brilliant but idiots due to paranoia at the same time...if you want a park there is a big one that is "central" in NYC..."
"Truly a hidden gem. The history behind the park is one for the books, but I love this location for quaint portrait sessions. This petite park has a few benches and great shade. I find it best for meditation or simply reading a book. This isn't a park created for parties. Consider this a library if you will."
"This tiny little nook of a park has the spirits of the Collyer Brothers watching over it, keeping peace over the land that their home once occupied. The Collyer brothers were an eccentric duo who play a small but memorable part in New York and Harlem's history. They were reclusive hermits and hoarders who progressively shut themselves out of society in the early 20th century. Eventually they were both found dead in the home, days apart even though they were just a few feet away from one another. Their story is one for the ages, not nearly done justice here. I recommend sitting on a bench in the park and reading about them on your phone, and then saying a little prayer for the brothers so they can rest in peace."
