Seton Falls Park is a 36-acre (15 ha) wooded area in the Edenwald area of The Bronx in New York City. The park is named after the Seton family (of which Elizabeth Ann Seton was a member), who owned the land in the 19th century.Seton Falls Park is located southeast of the intersection of East 233rd Street and Baychester Avenue. It contains a playground and athletic fields, as well as the only above-ground section of a small creek called Rattlesnake Brook. Due to its seclusion, the park site has been used for dumping in the past, and several corpses have been left there. Seton Falls Park's site was occupied by the Siwanoy tribe of Native Americans prior to European settlement in the 17th century. The land was later owned by several individuals, including a Roosevelt family ancestor, before being passed to the Seton family via marriage. The Seton family estate and surrounding area was annexed by New York City in 1894, and the city acquired land on the site in 1914, officially designating it as a parkland in 1930. The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks) subsequently added recreational facilities to Seton Falls Park. After a period of disrepair in the late 20th century, Seton Falls Park was restored.

Haffen Park is a 9.24-acre (3.74 ha) public park in the northeast Bronx, New York City. The park is named after Louis F. Haffen, the first borough president of the Bronx. It is bordered by Burke, Ely, Hammersley, and Gunther Avenues. The park was officially created in 1958 when New York City acquired the land. Actual construction did not begin, however, until more than a decade later. In June 1966, local homeowners held a rally attended by Councilman Mario Merola at the site of the proposed park protesting the construction delays. A meeting with Borough President Herman Badillo had been held April at which it was promised that construction would begin in July, but it was later announced that delays would push that back to some time in 1967. A follow-up rally was held in July, with 600 people showing up to begin work on their own, removing weeds and clearing away debris using tools supplied by State Senator John Calandra. The park was designed by Clara Stimson Coffey with groundbreaking in May 1969. Facilities include picnic and play areas, tennis, handball, basketball, and baseball. There are also swimming and wading pools. A $13.4 million project was announced in April 2026 to reconstruct the pool complex, including upgraded locker rooms, showers, restroom and mechanical systems. The pool facilities were not in the original 1958 plans; they were added during a c. 1970 renovation funded by the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Additional renovations were in 1996 and 2006, the latter funded by the Croton Water Filtration Facility as part of their parkland mitigation program. In 2007, children's character Hip Hop Harry performed at the park for an audience of 500 pre-teen summer campers. The large yellow bear with a pear-shaped body and no knees rapped about personal hygiene and hand washing accompanied by break dancers.

Harry S. Truman High School is a public high school at 750 Baychester Avenue, in the Co-op City section of the Bronx, New York City, United States. The school is designated as an Empowerment School by the New York City Department of Education, which allows it more autonomy in choosing a curriculum. Truman shares a uniquely designed and interconnected campus with two middle schools, MS 180 and 181, and two elementary schools, PS 178 and 153. The campus was designed to be a one-stop and close-to-home solution for students and families in the Co-op City neighborhood, although many of the students commute to school from other parts of the city. The main Truman building is also home to the Bronx Health Sciences High School, which occupies a portion of the third floor, and PS 176X, a special education school for autistic students, which shares a small portion of the first and second floors. Truman High School is one of the remaining large high schools in the Bronx that has not been phased out and broken up into a number of small schools. This trend, which has been popular in the city, has seen other high schools in the borough, such as Evander Childs High School and Roosevelt High School closed and split into a number of smaller schools located in the same building. The school does, however, host Bronx Health Sciences High School created as part of the small schools movement, and previously hosted two additional high schools which have since moved to other locations. Truman High School and Bronx Health Sciences compose Harry S. Truman Educational Campus.
