Havemeyer Playground

Located just off Castle Hill Avenue, this neighborhood spot sits directly in front of the Cross Bronx Expressway. While noticeable highway noise is part of the backdrop, the space functions as a dedicated local respite. Visitors often note the welcoming, attentive staff who keep the grounds cared for. Alongside the children's play structures, the basketball courts are central to the park's life, though they occasionally show their wear—with local players noting the need for fresh paint, chain nets, and a higher gate to stop stray balls.
