Chief Dennis L. Devlin Park — Attraction in New York

Having grown up just blocks away from here, I have a pretty biased view of this particular park. First, we'll get the negative aspects out of the way. Yes, like any other open space in NYC, homeless people do frequently squat from time to time. Especially with warmer, dry weather. And the recent influx of rentable electric bikes can make Devlin Park seem like a parking lot for scattered bikes. All that being said, Devlin Park actually makes for a nice respite from the everyday hassle of city life. I can even remember a brief time when a sandbox once occupied the park. Of course, the 80's weren't a kind time, even for the most residential areas. The sandbox eventually got paved over and the park is predominantly open space with the classic park benches lining its boundaries. From families playing volleyball to local cookouts. This is definitely a good place to rest...

It was ok but could've been more cleaner, it was alot of garbage on the floor. Also alot of strange people around the park around the kids drinking and smoking weed. My kids still enjoyed themselves with the sprinklers on, it...

I grew up across the street from here, 1977 till about 1990. There used to be a sand box back in the day, the parks department used to fill and maintain them. I used to ride my bike and walk my dog...
