Dukes Park is a park in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in BOABO, Broker, Liberty City.
Description[]
The park is located on Creek Street in the BOABO neighborhood of the Liberty City borough of Broker. It lies along the bank of the Humboldt River and is connected to Steinway Park by the means of a pedestrian tunnel which runs beneath Hooper Street.
Dukes Park offers generous views of the northern Algonquin skyline, especially of Hatton Gardens and Middle Park East, and Colony Island Cemetery and parts of Charge Island. The Algonquin Bridge and the East Borough Bridge can also be seen. The park is scattered with trees and has a large Sprunk advertisement sign in the middle. However, it has outgrown vegetation, walls covered in graffiti, and pedestrian paths littered with trash, indicating the lack of maintenance to the park.
The player can buy a Sprunk bottle for $1 from a newspaper stand near the stairway that leads to BOABO and use the binoculars to have a better view of the Algonquin skyline. The park also has a dock that goes by the water, making the park accessable by boat.
Influence[]
The Sprunk sign is inspired by a Pepsi Max sign on Gantry Plaza State Park in New York City.
Collectibles[]
- Pigeon inside the tunnel connecting the park to Steinway Park.
- Stunt Jump on the abandoned railroad tracks.

Trivia[]
- The room where Niko Bellic fights Dardan Petrela in Bleed Out overlooks the park. The player can also throw Dardan out of the window and onto the park.
- The real-life Pepsi Max sign was placed close to a Pepsi bottling plant that closed in 1999, hinting that the abandoned building adjacent to the park once belonged to Sprunk.
