About the Park
St. James Park is a large Bronx recreation area with sports courts, playgrounds, a recreation center, and a dog park section. Visitors consistently report the park is clean and family-friendly, particularly during daytime hours. However, safety is a significant concern as afternoon progresses, with multiple reports of gun violence, drug use, and uncontrolled motorcycles. The dog park area specifically requires better maintenance.
