Crotona Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crotona Park is a public park in the Bronx, New York City, United States. The main portion is bounded by Fulton Avenue (aka Crotona Park West) and Crotona Park North, East, and South; Claremont Parkway and Crotona Avenue pass through it. Four blocks to the west, at the end of Claremont Parkway, is Claremont Park. Robert Moses famously refused to realign the Cross-Bronx Expressway to pass along the north edge of the park and save a number of homes several blocks to the north from demolition.
