Jackie Robinson Park, Urban park in Harlem, US.
Jackie Robinson Park extends across 12.77 acres between 145th and 155th Streets, featuring baseball fields, basketball courts, and recreational facilities on steep terrain.
The park, established in 1911 as Colonial Park, received major improvements during the 1930s through the Works Progress Administration, including the construction of a swimming pool.
The park's name change in 1978 commemorates Jackie Robinson, the first African American player in Major League Baseball, with a bronze bust installed at the entrance.
The recreation center operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 9 PM, offering indoor pools, weight rooms, basketball courts, dance studios, and art facilities.
The park contains an open-air concrete bandshell built into the hillside at 147th Street, displaying a mural of Jackie Robinson painted in 2006.
