Marcus Garvey Park

A beautiful and expansive park that features a dog run, an outdoor swimming pool, ampitheatre, and gym. Follow up the stairs past the pool to the lookout and discover art.

Great park and has the same name as me

I am surprised to see the positive reviews of the park below. These are clearly superficial reviews of people who have NO idea what actually happens in this park. I live right across the street - in fact my apartment has a clear view of the park - and of course I have been inside it many times. First, let's be real - this park is filled with homeless people, some of them dirty and many of them drunk and/or on drugs. They mostly hang out on the northern side of the park, where the two children's playgrounds are. I can't tell you how disturbing it is to be pushing your child on a swing in full view of the drunken/drugged out homeless crew, many of which are loud and foul-mouthed. However, that is by far the LEAST disturbing thing about this park. I have seen from my window in the past few months, dozens of sexual encounters (mostly between men)- some of those encounters being full blown sex in BROAD DAYLIGHT on the weekends. I work during the week but can only imagine that it goes on then as well. These encounters take place at the top of the park, in the bushes, and oftentimes on rocks in a clearing, hence easily viewable from anyone in the building across. In addition to these disgusting sexual acts, I have seen frequent drug encounters in those same spots, the last of which was a man shooting up heroin in his arm. I have called the police on multiple occasions and they say they are fully aware of what goes in in this park but are too short-staffed to do anything about it. It is a disgrace to the community that the park authorities and the police allow this blatantly illegal activity to go on. I no longer step foot in Marcus Garvey Park.

Got to see 'The Wiz' in the park and the performance was amazing!!!

Its not that dangrous.. just mind ur business and dont look scared.. but theres a lot of places to hang out and chill in the park and play. Theres two doggy parks
