Nice park, but the visitor center was closed, and restrooms not available.
Even though poe park is in the hood is still a cool place to visit
Nice an peaceful a block from the library and other places: to eat, buy clothes, etc. I tend to go there and wait for the luv of my life to appear 🙃🌺
Had a marvelous time so did my emotional support puppy he loved playing and running in the grass on his own journey and next to the park was a food market where I also did some shopping my aid, myself and my baby what a beautiful day! ✨😊
If you like history and/or American Literature and/or poetry, it's pretty cool to see the house where Edgar Allen Poe lived, and by extension how the Bronx must have looked in the 1800s. They were doing renovations when we were there in June 2021, so we didn't get to go into the little museum or get close to the house. There's also a playground nearby for kids!
Excellent park. I performed with my students and then they enjoyed the playground to the fullest.
A very small park past Fordham Road on Grand Concourse. It has a kool playground but no swings. This park has seating area and a public restroom as well as an office. I have brought donations to this location before.
I live in Manhattan and love exploring the boroughs. Poe Park was a highly pleasant surprise. Initially, I was just excited to see the residence of Edgar Allen Poe, but I was quickly welcomed in to the lovely community center. Although I arrived late, I was allowed to join a free bottle painting session where I met and made friends with local seniors. There are also activities for kids and a public restroom. Highly recommend !
