One of the largest parks in the historic area of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Saratoga Park is named after the famous Saratoga Avenue, which was named during the 19th-century Revolutionary War Battles fought here. In its earlier days, the park played home to touring circus groups and other performing troupes. Shaded areas, walking tracks and lush green trees make it an picnic spot. The park also features a granite monument dedicated to Saratoga's martyrs from World War I.

It is a great place to take the kids who will enjoy playing basketball, handball, football, kickball, soccer, baseball, bocce and tennis. The park has become a recreational place for the community.

The McCarren Park Pool hosts live concerts and is another good place to check out.
