Claremont Park
Claremont Park is a park in the Morrisania section of the Bronx in New York City. The land on which the park sits was once part of the Morris family estate and was the site of the Zborowski Mansion. After becoming a municipal park in 1884 as part of the New Parks Act, the mansion was used for a time as the Bronx headquarters for the Department of Parks and was torn down in 1938.
