Oval Park

The Bronx has a land area of 42 square miles (109 km2), making it the fourth-largest in land area of the five boroughs and about a quarter of this area is open space (Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bronx).  This vast area of open space includes Woodlawn Cemetery, The Bronx Zoo, The New York Botanical Garden and a number of public parks including three of the largest parks in New York City, Pelham Bay Park, Van Cortlandt Park and Bronx Park.  Visit the NYC Parks Department website for a list of all Bronx Parks.
