Van Cortlandt Park

With the exception of tournaments, our bocce courts are first-come, first-served and no permits are required to play. Be sure to arrive early, as this Italian sport is growing in popularity!

Know Before You Go

Van Cortlandt Park

Due to construction at Broadway and West 242nd Street, the entrance near the subway is closed. Please access the park at the stairway adjacent to the public comfort station (Broadway & Manhattan College Parkway). There is an accessible entrance at the end of the block. The barbecuing area at Van Cortlandt Park has temporarily been moved behind the Nature Center. For more information on the progress of this construction project, please visit our Capital Project Tracker page.
Anticipated Completion: Summer 2020
