I love this little park. Lots of nice cool people enjoying freely and lots of action in the playground. Everybody behaving nice and courteous. If this is Hell's Kitchen, I wonder what will Heaven's Kitchen would be....
Edit, 06.28.2022 - looks like Google finally corrected the name of this park.
Old review:
The name of this park is Hell's Kitchen Park, not Lorraine Hansberry. I've tried to post the edit twice but Google keeps saying that it can't be verified, even though the name is clear on the parks department website, and on the park signage. There was a brief movement to rename it, but community pushback didn't want to lose the name Hell's Kitchen Park.
There is a plaza diagonally across 10th Ave which will instead be named for Lorraine Hansberry. But I wish Google could get the name of this park correct. It's iconic in the neighborhood.
My Hood also the 9thave Festival before all the mayhem begins!! Midtown the best Hood to have grown up in in my day and the old-school cats can say the same!! It's changed but it so beautiful now that dam u can't really hate it's just what us true KITCHEN people go through know what im sayin!! Kepp it lookin beautiful and right well be here forever!! ONE LOVE!!!
There's something for everyone at this park, and you'll find a mix of people of all ages in the evenings. Lots of park benches and tables for the elderly, slides and swingsets for the little kids, and tennis and basketball courts for everyone in between. It's a small park, looks like it's meant for people from the surrounding neighborhood.
