Description
This Queens neighborhood park carries a layer of local history, known informally to residents who grew up nearby in the 1970s and 80s as Ajax Park. Today, the property functions as a straightforward open space for neighborhood recreation. While the layout accommodates traditional field and court sports, visitors note that it lacks a dedicated calisthenics area for outdoor workouts.
