Chelsea Park, Urban park in Chelsea neighborhood, Manhattan, US

Chelsea Park spans 4 acres between Ninth and Tenth Avenues, featuring sports fields, basketball courts, handball courts, and a children's playground with sitting areas.

The park opened in 1910 after the Chelsea Improvement Society proposed the space in 1904 to address the absence of recreational areas along Ninth Avenue.

A granite memorial with a bronze statue of an American soldier, known as the Chelsea Doughboy Statue, stands in the park since its dedication in 1921.

The park contains multiple drinking water stations, wheelchair-accessible paths, restroom facilities, and bicycle parking spots for visitors throughout operating hours.

The surface combines tarmac and artificial turf, incorporating pits for plane trees and dedicated spaces for annual flower plantings across the grounds.

Inception: June 1910

GPS coordinates: 40.75003,-74.00092
