Comments
 * "127.5 acres (0.516 km2;" I think converting to hectares (as you do below) rather than km2 is more appropriate.
 * Done.
 * "to the Bathgate family" any chance of a few words of context since the family isn't linked?
 * Done.
 * Could link "parkway".
 * Done.
 * Could also link Manhattan.
 * Done.
 * "system.[5][6][8][9]' are four cites really needed for this one short sentence?
 * Removed the last one. epicgenius (talk) 17:21, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Is the ancient Greek city the same as Crotone?
 * Oh yeah, good catch. epicgenius (talk) 17:21, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * " in 1903.[18]:10[12]" order.
 * "was built as well" no need for "as well".
 * Fixed.
 * "the athletic field and bandstand were too loud" presumably you mean "activities taking place at" those locations were too loud...?
 * Fixed.
 * "1964 promotional photograph of the pool at Crotona Park" avoid starting sentence with a number.
 * Fixed.
 * "WPA renovation" I wouldn't use the abbreviation in the section heading before you've explained what it is in the prose...
 * Fixed.
 * "Deal.[32][31]:456 " order.
 * Done.
 * "Moses planned to create 23 pools.[33] Moses, along..." ->" He, along..."
 * Fixed.
 * "The pools were to contain..." I think "have" rather than contain, as the first thing is length and "contain" reads odd to me.
 * Done.
 * "By mid-1935" "By mid-1936", it's just unfortunate formatting on my screen I guess, by they are "visually" repetitive if that makes sense?
 * Fixed.
 * "at a pace of " I would prefer "rate"?
 * Done.
 * "$2.87 million" inflate?
 * Done.
 * "a previous wooden boathouse that " one, rather than repeat boathouse?
 * Went with something else. epicgenius (talk) 17:21, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "Work had begun by early 1983, and the complex was closed for two summer seasons while work was " work repeated.
 * Done.
 * "benches, repaving of paths" and repaving...
 * Done.
 * " federal funding was provided by the federal" feds x 2.
 * Fixed.
 * "came to the park, while Pope John Paul II said mass at the park" the park x 2. And when you say "came to the park", do you mean they just visited or anything else?
 * Fixed - yes, they just visited to take a tour of the facilities. epicgenius (talk) 17:21, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "a serial rapist" strictly this isn't a crime, this is a crimial.
 * I realize now. I've fixed the sentence. epicgenius (talk)
 * " communities.[18]:11, 13[65][50] " order.
 * Fixed.
 * Morrisania is overlinked.
 * Strange, Claremont shouldn't link to Morrisania. Fixed. epicgenius (talk) 17:21, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * " park's eastern section.[73]" period yet "the park's northeast section[73]" no period. I think these are mainly fragments so they shouldn't have periods.
 * Fixed.
 * Tremont and Bronx Borough Hall are overlinked.
 * Fixed.
 * "spray showers" don't all showers spray?
 * Yeah, but this is the official NYC Parks classification. I have changed it to "showers". epicgenius (talk) 17:21, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "An early photo of the lake" photograph, and specify this is Indian Lake.

 * Fixed.

 * "Crotona Park, Bronx". 1922–1925" either remove the period or put one after teh date range.
 * Fixed.
 * Ref 47, double hyphen should be en-dash.
 * Removed, as that part of the title is not necessary. epicgenius (talk) 17:21, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission" overlinked.
 * Done.
