Claremont Park, on the neighborhood's edge, was once part of the Morris family estate. Its later owners, Elliott and Anna Zborowski de Montsaulain, named it 'Claremont' and built a mansion there in 1859; the land joined the Bronx park system in 1888. Source
Grant Park, a 4.7-acre park along East 170th Street, opened in May 2026 after the city joined 15 vacant lots and a closed block of Grant Avenue into one park with a lawn, a basketball court and fitness equipment. Source
