St. Mary's Park is the South Bronx's biggest green — 35 acres of rocky rise, ballfields and playgrounds above Mott Haven — and a produce market on its west playground side puts fresh food where families already spend the day. Regional fruit and vegetables, SNAP and Health Bucks accepted, and a park to eat in immediately afterward. If you are in Mott Haven or Port Morris, this is the useful stop.
What to expect
Expect produce stands beside the playground with neighborhood shoppers arriving on foot, many with kids. The market table handles SNAP/EBT and Health Bucks. Playgrounds, courts and open lawns are right there, so it is easy to combine the shop with an afternoon in the park.
