Rucker Park
Lonely Planet review for Rucker Park
The legendary Rucker Park is home to some of the most exciting street-ball games in the city (along with the W 4th St courts in the Village). Die-hard basketball fans will want to check out the place where actual NBA stars have stopped in for some hoops. Sweet, right? And how appropriate, considering that Sugar Hill got its name by being considered the place to live the ‘sweet life’ during the Harlem Renaissance. (And playing hoops, to many, is high culture for sure.)
