University Woods

University Woods is a small park in the Bronx borough of New York City with the dubious distinction of having been named "the city's worst park" by the New Yorkers for Parks in the years 2003-2006.

The catalog of nasty things often found here include:
* prostitution
* abandoned cars
* the remains of Santería rituals, including animal carcasses, candles and dolls.
* abandoned dogs
* high concentrations of broken glass
