This park is big and has many playgrounds, some better than others. You’ll definitely want one of the playgrounds with sprinklers on the hot days but I’m not sure if here’s a map that states which ones have them. I think the nicest playgrounds are at the entrance of Corona Park East and Claremont parkway. There’s a couple of nice basketball courts throughout that never seemed to be crowded. The tennis courts and adjacent building have been updated, the pool has been rehabbed and overall the park has enough wide open spaces for family events and mini music festivals. We were there for the Fourth of July and the park was clean, grass was mostly trimmed and there were plenty of trash cans. The only bathroom is in the air controlled modern tennis building, which has stairs and a handicap ramp. It’s brightly lit and has numerous park staff offices. There’s even a small seating area in the hallway area.

I came here for oldtimers day Aug 5 2018 and the atmosphere was festive. The love and community of the people from the Bronx is amazing. No one was left hungry. Many different groups of people cooked food and shared their food with others. There were several porta pottys and they were well stocked with paper. One child fell in the lake but he was taken out. I feel that the lake treat is covered by weeds and moss is a hazard. Something needs to be done. The ampitheather is very nicely done. I was very glad that the police allowed everyone to enjoy themselves until 9pm People respectfully left the park. I took lots of random pictures and videos.

Crotona Park is a very clean and accessible park. If you love to jog or generally do some fitness exercises. There really aren't any benches but you can find a rock to sit on if you choose. My visit was a quiet and peaceful one. Just be careful crossing the street especially on Crotona Avenue between parks as I noted a few speeders due to a good stretch of road having no lights. There are 25MPH speed signs but they were ignored for the most part. Have a wonderful day folks.✌🙂

I grew up in Crotona Park. I lived right across the street, went to hip hop jams in that park, got my first bike stolen there and spent many days playing by the tennis court after school. I even worked at the tennis court during the summer. It's a beautiful park-I wish they would do more with such a beautiful lake like boat rides or a something. Other than that, it's one of my Bronx treasures. And I fell in love with hip hop there!!
