Woodstock Park

Woodstock Park is a neighborhood park in the Longwood section of the South Bronx, providing green space in one of the borough's most historically significant and resilient communities.

The Longwood neighborhood contains the Longwood Historic District, one of the finest collections of Renaissance Revival row houses in New York City. The district's beautifully ornamented brownstone buildings survived the South Bronx's devastating period of arson and abandonment in the 1970s and 1980s.

The South Bronx's recovery from the devastation of the 1970s, when entire blocks were burned and abandoned, is one of the most remarkable stories of urban resilience in American history. Parks like Woodstock have been essential to the neighborhood's rebirth.

The park serves the Longwood community with playgrounds and recreational space in a neighborhood that has fought for decades to rebuild from the fires that made the South Bronx a national symbol of urban decay.

Woodstock Park represents the ongoing revitalization of the South Bronx, providing green space in a neighborhood whose survival and renewal inspire communities facing similar challenges worldwide.
