Answer: Pelham Bay Park

Pelham Bay Park has quite an extensive history dating back to 1639, when it was first purchased from the Native Americans by the Dutch West India Company. Several attempts had been made to colonize the land, including an attempt made by famed historical figure Anne Hutchinson and her family. Unfortunately her attempt was short lived. It is said that Anne, along with five of her children, was massacred there in the year 1643 by Mahican Indians. Today Pelham Bay Park has much to offer. There is a playground, along with tennis and basketball courts. In more recent years, a dog run has been added. Farther back in the park there is the Split Rock golf course. There are also horseback riding trails and picnic tables. If you're not in an athletic mood, however, there are several historic sites to see also, such as the Bronx Victory Column, or as Bronxonians refer to it "The Monument", which is a 75-foot structure listing the names of Bronx veterans who lost their lives in World War I.
