Crotona Park

Crotona Park sits in the heart of the South Bronx, surrounded by residential blocks and busy corridors like Southern Boulevard, Crotona Avenue, and East 174th Street. The neighborhood’s vibe is park‑centric and community‑minded, anchored by the 127‑acre green space with Indian Lake, twenty tennis courts, playgrounds, and the landmark Crotona Pool. Traffic is steady on the main arteries and can bunch up near park entrances and transit hubs, so planning ahead helps you move around smoothly.

Street parking is the norm and fills fastest along Southern Boulevard, around Crotona Park South and East near the pool and ballfields, and by commercial strips and schools; off‑street options are limited, so availability varies by time of day. Know the basics before you arrive: alternate side rules, meters, no double‑parking, and that all of NYC is a tow‑away zone; always verify the latest regulations with official sources when you plan your visit. Booking parking in advance turns parking in Crotona Park into a quick, low‑stress start to your trip, whether you are meeting clients nearby or exploring the park’s trails and courts.
