Beautiful park. A gem in the community. It’s a very recreational park. Sometimes there’s a hundred people here just to play soccer, basketball, or handball Travel tip: if you are alone I recommend staying on the north end of the park. Avoid nighttime wandering. There is a stabbing here maybe once every 3 weeks. A handful of robberies every few months. It’s generally a pretty safe area considering its proximity to the ave and Sutphin. Travel tip 2: always pick up after yourself. The park remains usually clean, but trash gathers quickly especially after events. Leave it better than the way you found it!

This is a historic park ,one of the main attraction is the museum which rufus king lived at a very long time ago.some times the museum is open to the public. This museum mansion is surrounded by a huge lawn that have seats out there in the summer time. The park also has a huge soccer field that is a major attraction in the summer time. This field is occupied with soccer games most of the times. You also have a nice size basketball court over there. Plus a decent size hand ball court.that is surrounded by alot of park benches, and a small playground for the kids . Sometimes this park has some homeless people situation. But it has gotten better over there. You also have a bathroom over there, that is not the best, but they are their.and the park can be really crowded In the summer time, there are so many park benches to choose from to sit down at.And this park is a pretty good place to have picnic at . The park happens to be located right on jamaica Avenue. So if you want some food to eat you have some okay food options in the surrounding area. And there is a police station across the street from the park. Also you can discover the history of Congress man rufus king and all he was apart of in America's history.

It’s my neighborhood park and love going there when I have time home. Enjoy watching locals in my neighborhood play soccer Aka football, handball, basketball, lots of space for kids to ride, rollerblade as well and the play ground to play. Would be nice if the playground area can be clean daily though and keep much more cleaner for the kids to enjoy. Lots of trees cause it’s a pretty large park. I think this space of park is pretty big and should have more events for locals to enjoy. Probably have seasonal stuff on display each season.

Rufus King Park is a lovely green space with plenty of walking trails, picnic areas, and a playful atmosphere. While it's not perfect (some areas could use more maintenance), the park's natural beauty and peaceful vibe make it a great spot to escape the city hustle. It's worth a visit, especially on a cloudy day!

Enjoyable local park. Has large amount of open grass area, playground, soccer field, handball and basketball courts. Even has sit down area (mini tables and chairs) in front lawn that gives free WiFi. Rufus King Manor museum is also nice to visit. Park also holds fun events for kids throughout the year.
