Ramac Park

Beautiful little park. Nice baseball field and well taken care of. Play area clean and safe. Pinic areas.

Beautiful park! The park and the surrounding area is under new construction. It’s going to be even better once the construction is done. So I give it 4 stars:)

RAMAC Park (RP) is a fairly new park that was built at the former IBM plant where computer disk storage first originated. The name RAMAC (Random Access Method of Accounting Control) is an homage to the name of the IBM machine that first used the now infamous read/​write technologies. The site itself was actually designated as a historical landmark back in 2002, and the surrounding streets are even named after cities in which IBM had other plants located in: White Plains, Poughkeepsie, Kingston, Endicott and Rochester (NY), Charlotte and Raleigh (NC). The approximate 11-​acre park is pretty large for a neighborhood park, and doesn’t have a whole lot of features. Here’s a quick list:
–x1 half-​court Basketball Court
–x1 Tennis Court
–Non-​reservable picnic tables and BBQ pits
–Lighted Softball field
–Lighted Soccer field
–Private parking lot, as well as street parking on Lexington
–Slightly above-​average Tot Lot and Playground
–Huge, grassy fields that are –surprisingly– well maintained for a CSJ park.
–Restroom
RP isn’t the most impressive park, by any means, but the layout, size and manicured lawns really help it to standout. Unless you live close by, I wouldn’t recommend coming here for the playground, basketball, or tennis. I think this park is best for soccer and softball leagues and the restroom is always a nice touch.

I accidentally stumbled upon this park on a toddler mom’s blog. She posted pictures of the clean play structures and all the open space here. After googling how far away it was for me, I decided to take my kids for a stroll and go to a new park. There is TONS of open field there! My toddler had a good time watching older kids play soccer and then mimicking them by running up and down the field. There were tennis courts and basketball courts as well as a small toddler play area and a bigger kids’ play area. There wasn’t a lot of shade (which would be my lone star I had to take away). What makes it awesome is that a brand spankin’ new Target just opened across the street! This is a toddler mom’s paradise — play at the park and then shop at Target! Score!

We meet friends here from time time for playdates. The park is newer so there isn’t much shade, but the place is fun to run around and experience the climbing structures. There is a lot of space to run for the kids as there are multiple soccer fields. Bring a ball and let them run!!!

This gorgeous park is the same location as the birthplace of the IBM RAMAC (Random Access Method of Accounting and Control), which was the first commercial secondary magnetic storage device. Amazing right?!
This park has it all: playground for kids, great softball/​baseball field, as well as a soccer field. Let’s not forget basketball courts too!
Great accessible sidewalks and pathways for families with strollers. Also there are picnic tables available to host your next local birthday party.
Highlight: Well lit and very safe park. Great place for people who want an early morning run who can’t access park trails.
