St. James Park is a public park in Fordham, Bronx, New York City.[1][2] It is located in between Jerome Avenue and Creston Avenue. New York City purchased the land on September 13, 1897, graded it, and created the park.[3] It is named after the neighboring St. James' Episcopal Church and Parish House.[4] A recreation center, originally for senior citizens, was built in the park in 1974.[4]
