History
The Williamsbridge Oval Park was built on the site of the Williamsbridge Reservoir after the reservoir was drained and the land transferred to the Parks Department in 1934.[3] The park was funded, designed, and built by the Works Progress Administration under the supervision of the New York City Parks Department and was officially opened on September 11, 1937.[4][5]
Attractions
Williamsbridge Oval has multiple playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts, plus an athletic field, a 400m 4-lane running track, a dog run, playground spray showers, ornamental flower beds and walking paths shaded by trees.
The original 1930s recreation center was reopened in 2013 after extensive renovations.[6][7]
The park hosts community and NYC Parks sponsored events all year round.
In popular culture
