St. Nicholas Park, Public park in Hamilton Heights, Manhattan, US
St. Nicholas Park extends through twelve blocks from 128th to 141st Street, featuring exposed Manhattan schist rock formations and steep terrain.
The park, established in 1895, includes Point of Rocks where George Washington positioned troops during the Battle of Harlem Heights in 1776.
The Hamilton Grange National Memorial, Alexander Hamilton's residence from 1802, was relocated to the northern section of the park in 2008.
Multiple basketball courts, handball facilities, and playgrounds provide recreational opportunities, with access from the A, B, C, and D subway lines.
The park's terrain serves as a natural migration path for monarch butterflies, drawn to the numerous butterfly bushes throughout the grounds.
