James J Walker Park
4.4 (562)park
Free entry
Once a historic cemetery, this Manhattan park is now a lively neighborhood spot for baseball, bocce, and pickleball.
Description




Named after a New York politician, this green space features clean fields that host local softball games, alongside a playground for kids. Those planning a visit should note a few functional shifts and limitations: all four original handball walls have been replaced by pickleball courts, and the park lacks public restrooms.
