Crotona Park, Public park in South Bronx, United States
Crotona Park is a public park in South Bronx that features a lake, sports fields, and playgrounds across its grounds. The entire space offers different recreational and sports options for visitors of all ages.
The park was founded in 1888 and developed on land that was previously part of a private estate. Later, important buildings were added that improved the facilities for visitors.
The park serves as a central gathering place for the surrounding neighborhoods, where people spend time with family and friends throughout the year. The green spaces provide room for everyday activities and create a spot where the community naturally comes together.
The park has tennis courts, baseball fields, basketball courts, and a swimming pool for visitors. You can explore the different areas on foot and use the available facilities depending on your interests.
Indian Lake within the park provides a natural water surface that attracts birds and other wildlife. This body of water creates a quieter contrast to the sports fields and gives a different character to one section of the grounds.
