Bloomingdale Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bloomingdale Park is a large park on the South Shore of Staten Island. It is located in the Woodrow neighborhood, and is bounded on the north by Ramona Avenue, on the west by Bloomingdale Road, on the east by Lenevar Avenue, and on the south by Drumgoole Road West and the Korean War Veterans Parkway. It is nearly bisected by Maguire Avenue, but the avenue's two spurs into the park from the north and south do not meet in the middle.
In the early 2000s, the park was renovated and upgraded, with the addition of sports fields, walking and biking paths, and a playground and rest center at the corner of Ramona and Lenevar Avenues, which serves residents in the western portion of Woodrow. On the corner of Maguire Avenue and Drumgoole Road West, there is also a small pond habitat which is now accessible by footpath. All the recent renovations have taken place east of Maguire Avenue, and west of there remains untouched woodlands.
