Jackie Robinson Recreation Center
 89 Bradhurst Avenue (at 146th Street) |
This park was acquired by the City of New York between 1894-99 and opened as a playground in 1911. Originally called Colonial Park, its construction was part of a nation-wide reform effort to provide organized play to children in inner cities. The Park and Recreation Center were re-named for Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play in a major league baseball game, in 1978. Jackie Robinson has provided the “Sugar Hill” community with access to innovative educational, arts, and athletic programming for almost 100 years.
