Friendly and colorful play equipment welcomes you when you walk into Vidalia Park, a family-friendly park in the Bronx's West Farms neighborhood. This large neighborhood park features two basketball courts, handball courts, and a big lawn with a loop that's perfect for jogging or running. The name Vidalia Park itself is a play on words based on the names of surrounding streets Vyse Avenue and Daly Avenue, and the sweet Georgia onions that share its name.

The eastern half of the park is hilly, offering healthy walks and great views of the lower areas.
