Murray Park

Murray Park is a public recreational space located in the Murray Hill neighborhood of New York City. The park spans the area between 11th Street and 21st Street, bounded by 45th Avenue and 45th Road. It serves as a vital green space for the growing Long Island City community.

The park features a diverse range of facilities catering to various recreational needs. On its western side, there is a large synthetic turf field used for soccer and other sports. The eastern entrance of the park contains an active dog run and a lawn area with a performance space, providing a venue for outdoor theater and community events.

At the heart of Murray Park lies a vibrant children's play area. This central zone is equipped with swings, a clubhouse, and a leaf-shaped spray shower, offering relief during hot summer months. The park's layout and amenities make it a popular destination for families, sports enthusiasts, and pet owners alike.

In recent years, Murray Park has undergone renovations to enhance its facilities and appeal. The eastern portion of the park was revitalized with a $1.275 million project, which introduced a new central green space and improved the performance area. These updates have further solidified Murray Park's role as a key community gathering place in Long Island City.
