Bee T. • July 24, 2013The fruit stand has mangoes for cheap.

Susan Z. • June 4, 2022Not sure what’s good at this place. I got very creepy, negative energy from being there and couldn’t wait to get away from the whole area. This place has an active, dark past so proceed with caution…

V B. • October 27, 2013Great park with a beautiful view of NYC and in the summer there is a food area open next to it.

María Paz D. • July 7, 2014Sketchy neighborhood, but fun nightclub with a gorgeous view. It's a lot of fun to go with a group of friends and enjoy the view and dance to the break of dawn.

Bryant B. • August 20, 2017This park is nice and spacious. There are bathroom's right at the entrance for when nature calls.
