Richman Park

Richman Park is a two-acre park at Westchester Avenue and Noble Avenue in the Soundview section of the southeastern Bronx. The park provides recreation space in a diverse residential neighborhood with growing connections to the waterfront through new park development along the nearby Bronx River.

Soundview is a mixed community of apartment buildings, modest homes, and public housing developments with significant Puerto Rican, Dominican, African American, and West African populations. The neighborhood's cultural vitality is expressed through its restaurants, churches, and community organizations.

The park features a playground, basketball courts, and open areas. Its location along Westchester Avenue, one of the southeastern Bronx's main commercial corridors, makes it accessible to the surrounding residential community.

Soundview has benefited from recent waterfront park development along the Bronx River and Long Island Sound, creating new public spaces that complement inland parks like Richman Park. Together, these parks form a growing recreation network for the community.

Richman Park serves the everyday needs of a working neighborhood, providing the kind of reliable green space that supports family life in a community where public parks are essential rather than optional amenities.
