PARK FACT:
A small portion of the park was donated by the Dreier-Offerman Home for unwed mothers and their children when it closed in 1933, thus the reason for the park's well-known former name, Dreier-Offerman Park.
Calvert Vaux Park
Gravesend Bay, Bay 44 St. to Bay 49 St., Shore Pkwy.

Acres: 85.53
Named for Calvert Vaux, an English architect who spent 40 years of his career in New York City, mostly working alongside Frederick Law Olmsted and designing numerous public spaces, the park is a fitting tribute to a man who valued community space so much. Largely bounded by Gravesend Bay, Calvert Vaux Park not only offers water views and glimpses of the winged wildlife naturally attracted to such an ideal setting, but also a playground, basketball courts, bocce courts, six baseball diamonds, and a soccer field.
