"Ahead of its official release on streaming services in early July, Questlove’s award-winning documentary Summer of Soul will be shown this Saturday, June 19th at Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park. His film sheds light on the legendary Harlem Cultural Festival - a huge event in 1969 that honored Black history, culture, music, and fashion. The free outdoor event begins at 5pm, but seating is first come, first served for all ticket-holders so you should probably get there early. After the film, there will be live music performances and lots of dancing in the park. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Nice joint... greenery, benches, and wide open spaces. Offers good respite against the rat race in the Belly of the Beast.

An excellent park to swim work out or relax. For the next few weeks they also have a free rendition of Shakespeare's A Midnight Summer Dream.

This park is a true, beautiful Harlem gem! They take extra great care of the grounds and foiliage/plants. The dog park is a great addition as well. The art exhibitions & installations have been a great conversation piece and culturally enriching. I feel our neighborhood is finally being given the proper attention and care again...gentrification, definitely. My family has been in Harlem since 1932. I'm glad for the restoration to when Harlem was clean and safe.

This park is always popping. There is a swimming pool, playgrounds, swings and plenty of rock climbing activities for the kids. There is also an outdoor theatre. Facilities include locker rooms with bathrooms. This park truly has all the amenities the parks & recreation department can offer.

The atmosphere is great. Doubt that is the park planners success but rather the majority of visitors - assumingely members of the local community.

Nice enough place during the day but it turns into a whole different monster at night. It's best to avoid the hill especially, as shady characters start crawling out of the woodwork doing shady things in the shadows. It would be nice to have a more secure presence at the park so you could actually feel safe taking in the views at night but alas, that just isn't an option, and no view is worth being robbed (or worse) over. I guess that's Central Harlem for you though. It's just a shame since it is a very pleasant place during the day and a nice environment for all ages, and as I said before, the views from on top the hill would be great at night but, I just did not feel safe at all when I had attempted it.

In terms of the park its very nice. There are playgrounds, plenty of space for walks, there is the swimming pool in the summer. I didn't like that being with my 3 children by myself there were a few people just hanging out there looking at us. That make me feel unsafe to walk aorund and explore more.

I saw the last performance of the Classical Harlem Theatre's A Midsummer Night's Dream at the park's amphitheater, and it was amazing!!! I love the interpretation of the Shakespearean play, from the set to the music and the dance. The costumes were quite fun as well. Fantastic performance overall.
