The James J. Walker Park is the name sake of the Mayor of NYC form 1926 to 1932. He grew up and played here as a child when it was a burial ground and still is to this day the final resting place of close to 10,000 souls. They are buried beneath the Park and surrounding buildings. Pictured is St. John’s Cemetery cir. 1895.

Too many smokers around young children! Definitely not a great park. Needs a serious makeover to clean all of the filth. So close to the pricey brownstones but in need of repair.

This park is great for kids and in summer there is a life guarded swimming pool. Additionally , one side is on attractive Leroy St. Which has a public library.

My kids love this playground, it has two Pokemon go gyms in it too. When the weather is warm, theres a sprinkler, the kids love getting wet. Next to the public library, when its too cold outside, you can always warm up at the library.

Walked in to find a bench and eat my lunch from the famous Faccios Delicatessen nearby but upon entering there were a bunch of High school kids taking up the entire park smoking weed on what seemed to be their lunch break. I had to look elsewhere to enjoy my break.

Great turf, great goals, great location. Some of my favorite pickup soccer is at James J walker. I can usually find parking right across the street from it. The fences are really high and the ball rarely goes over the fence. If it does, its usually into the park, and almost never into the street. Shake shack around the corner for after game meals

I cannot tell anyone how much I love this place. this place is an empty space devided in half with steam pipes sticking out of the ground, fenced in, right next to a public school. Something tells me downtown NYC pedestrians wouldnt appreciate a picnic on the sidewalk next to the NYC passport agency.

Cool park and great ppl you meet there. Too bad it has a baseball field too. It should only be a soccer field in my opinion.

As far as parks go, this is perfectly competent and adequate. We play softball here for work and it serves as a good softball location. Fair warning: you may need a permit to enter though, as we have had to kick several groups off for a lack of permit.Not something we like to do, but rules are rules.Would receive 5 stars if we would win more.

I visit at lunchtime. Lots of students from the high school so it can be a little noisy at the benches. The playground is pretty nice. Better for toddlers. Good ballfield with artificial turf. Used to be a graveyard! And they never moved the bodies. They just broke up the headstones and turned over the dirt.
