Friends of St. Nicholas Park The Friends of St. Nicholas Park is a coalition of residents and community based organizations, working together to revitalize our Historic Harlem Park.

Saint Nicholas Park is a New York City public park located in Harlem at the intersection of Manhattan neighborhoods Hamilton Heights and Manhattanville. The nearly 23-acre (93,000 m2) park is contained by 141st Street to the north, 128th Street to the south, St. Nicholas Terrace to the west, and St. Nicholas Avenue to the east. Much of City College's campus, including the famous Shepard Hall, is located just across St. Nicholas Terrace. The north end of the park contains the National Park Service's historic farmhouse of Alexander Hamilton; the Hamilton Grange. The wooded park features basketball courts, playgrounds, handball courts, a dog park, and New York City Department of Parks and Recreation-designated barbecue areas. Other attractions include large Manhattan schist outcrops, and monarch butterflies that cover the butterfly bushes at migration time.
