Annunciation Park

Annunciation Park occupies about 1.25 acres in the Hamilton Heights section of upper Manhattan, near the intersection of Convent Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue at West 135th Street. The park takes its name from the Church of the Annunciation, a neighborhood landmark.

The park provides recreation space in a neighborhood known for its handsome residential architecture, including many brownstones and apartment buildings from the early 20th century. Hamilton Heights has been home to many prominent African Americans, including jazz musicians, writers, and civil rights leaders.

Facilities include a basketball court, benches, and landscaped areas with shade trees. The park serves as a gathering place for the surrounding community, hosting informal recreation and providing a green respite from the city streets.

The area around Annunciation Park sits within the Hamilton Heights Historic District, designated in recognition of the neighborhood's architectural and cultural significance. The park's green space provides visual relief amid the dense urban fabric.

Annunciation Park connects to the broader network of parks and green spaces in upper Manhattan, including nearby St. Nicholas Park and the City College campus, creating a corridor of green space through Harlem.
