A shimmering stretch of green amidst the sea of concrete, asphalt, and tightly-packed buildings, this vibrant park features a turf soccer field, several playgrounds and several green spaces.

Look for cool art nestled among the flowers and trees in the lovely block-long M’Finda Kalunga Garden, though a gate on Chrystie Street (open Thursday 5-7pm, Saturday & Sunday 12–4 pm). Up to 50 volunteer gardeners including community groups maintain individual beds, and contribute to the upkeep of communal areas. Highlights include a small pond with koi, goldfish and turtles, a chicken coop (that donates eggs to a nearby senior center), a Bocce court and a children’s area with a sandbox. Sit and picnic at tables and benches throughout the garden.
