Bronx Gem* Crotona Park East

Crotona Park East
I have the pleasure of living right across the street from this beautiful park. This park has so many different areas for anyone to enjoy such as tennis courts, basketball courts, multiple playgrounds, a lake and the borough's largest pool! I love that I just have throw a jacket on my daughter and cross the street to enjoy this nature.

Named after the Greek colony of Croton, known for its Olympic athletes, Crotona Park has served the Bronx community steadily since its purchase by the City in 1888.  Among naturalists, the park is widely known for its variety of tree species (28 in all) and gorgeous 3.3-acre lake, which serves as home to turtles, ducks, and fish.
