Bellevue South Park, Urban park in Kips Bay, Manhattan, United States.
Bellevue South Park is an urban park located between East 26th and East 28th streets with walking paths, seating areas, playgrounds, and a basketball court. The grounds offer different zones for various activities and age groups in a compact and well-organized space.
The park opened in 1979 as part of an urban renewal project that the city had approved back in 1964. Its creation was part of a broader initiative to revitalize this neighborhood area.
The park gets its name from its location south of the former Bellevue Hospital and serves as a gathering place for neighborhood residents today. You can observe families using the play areas and people sitting together on benches throughout the grounds.
The park is accessible from multiple entrances and features level pathways suitable for visitors with mobility needs. The 2022 renovation improved accessibility and safety features throughout all areas.
The sculpture 'Skagerrak' by artist Antoni Milkowski originally stood in Madison Square Park before being relocated here in 2001. It remains a notable artwork that many visitors overlook while exploring the pathways.
