Marcy Playground
4.3 (156)park
A well-maintained Bed-Stuy park featuring multiple basketball, handball, and tennis courts, plus a kids' playground.
Description




While sports are the main draw here, the experience varies by activity. The park features basketball courts flanking Myrtle Avenue, clean public restrooms, and open space for rollerblading. However, runners will find no running tracks or field markers. Tennis players should expect a wait for the single court, which lacks night lighting for evening play. It is also wise to bring your own drinks, as visitors frequently report non-operational water fountains. For logistics, two Citi Bike stations and neighborhood bodegas sit just outside the park.
