Corporal Thompson Park — Attraction in New York

I LOVE ❤ LOVE What Council Woman Debi Rose 🌹 & Mayor Bill Deblasio did with "Corporal Thompson" Park, I am Staten Island Native who grew up in Mariners Harbor, yet has lived right across the street from this Beautiful park "TWICE" in my lifetime...first time I lived here 7 years and "this" around I've been here for over 10 years so I saw not only this area get a makeover yet I can testify to seeing Corporal Thompson park go under construction and was there with Councilwoman Debi 🌹 Rose, Mayor Deblasio & my now West Brighton family. It was a day to remember and I'm proud to call this park home! ❤ NO one on the north shore has a reason to be lazy, pay for a overrated gym membership. We got the park. Not only the state of the art track field with stadium lights but there are all kinds of bars and benches where you can get a full core workout in. If we could set up weights 💪🏾 and benches out here it would be "SUPER" lit, yet hey you can mimick weights with the pull up bars...just use your own body weight...OHHHH! & SUPER "SHOUT OUTS" to the NYC PARKS DEPARTMENT because they "KEEP" this park immaculate and we respect it too I see....no heavy litter AT ALL "EVER"...people Respect 🙏🏾 both the 🙌🏾 Blessing & the Gift!...if you're in this neighborhood stop by, encourage your youth to take full advantage of this GREAT OPPORTUNITY!!! There's football games & the soccer games be "LITTY IN THE CITY" they don't be PLAYING...THEY BE WINNING, or going hard trying to...like⚽️ you're watching ESPN!!! #BRAZIL against #JAMAICA or something!!! oh and they have had free concerts here too!😁💪🏾✊🏾💯...

They've just laid down a new track over the summer. While exercising along it, you get fatigued and say to yourself, "I wish there was somewhere to sit along the baseball field fence." Which is not a huge deal. It just makes you wonder why the seating is so limited unless you're sitting in the bleachers that are directly in the sun? Park staff works very hard to keep up with this wide open space. They could use more workout equipment here like other places in nyc. We have many senior citizens who come here in the morning to work on their disabilities or strengthen...

Both the football field and track are brand new, having been renovated within the past year. They're in use most afternoons and Saturdays by youth teams for practice and games. There's also adult leagues that make use of the facilities a few evenings a week. By no means does that make the track and field completely unavailable. The park has a lot more to offer too. There's a nice playground for young children. As well as a baseball field and basketball courts. It's a beautiful well maintained park. Great for a family outing and for someone looking a place...
