An urban oasis for residents of the Lower East Side, the Hamilton Fish Park was completed in 1900. It consists of a modern gymnasium, an Olympic-sized pool, a playground, a basketball court, a recreation center and an after-school program that offers varied lessons to both children and adults. The original landscaping of the park was remodeled in 1936, when the park was outfitted with a swimming pool, and the open space was more effectively used to construct tracks and tennis lawns. Today, it consists of terraces and planters with trees preserved from the twentieth century.
