Nice spacious park. There’s a bit of construction going on, so you won’t be getting the full aspect of the park.

A nice little park to take a stroll during the day. Don't recommend to go alone during the late afternoon. There is some drug activity noticable during this hour. It was nice to see families with kids picnicking and playing.

One of the best sceneries in New York City. Get to see the beautiful Greenery the people sitting down having fun laughing and talking with your friends and family the children playing in the park I mean it can't get no better than this. How could you not love this beautiful Park?

Alot of beggars and whinos in the park. Luckily there are spots to avoid these unwanted interactions.

Gorgeous amphitheater and public art projects throughout. Saw Classical Theatre of Harlem’s production of “Antigone” here.

Surprizingly clean for all the damage the area bring into it. Staff keeps up with the upkeep and does a great job. Pool is safe and lockers are monitored. Police regularly patrol. Overall i would visit on a recreational basis. My opinions are based on working at Marcus Garvey on temp basis.

The park is kept nice and clean by the ground crew
There is an Olympic size public pool were all ar welcome to swim or just cool down. There is a recreation center and a Newly renovated Amphitheater.basketball courts, a wonderful baseball field and areas were the kids can safely play.

Great venue for performances. Need to clean up the urine stench around though. Drain the large puddles after rain.

Wonderful evening watching terrific production of Sophocles' "Antigone". The script had been pared down to create an amazing 1hr show! Great performances. Intricate precision choreography!

A beautiful, well maintained park with lots of areas for kids to play. Excellent place to spend a weekend afternoon. They also have events regularly in the amphitheater.
