Steinway Park, also referred to as the Municipal Pool[1], is a park in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in Steinway, Dukes, Liberty City.
Character[]
The park, bounded to the west by Franklin Street and to the east by Concord Avenue, is located in the Steinway neighborhood of the Liberty City borough of Dukes. It is linked to Dukes Park located in BOABO in Broker by the means of a pedestrian tunnel.
The park contains three large outdoor public swimming pools, trees, a basketball court, a main building and a vast amount of open space. Many pedestrians can be seen hanging around the place. However, the park is poorly maintained, indicated by the high amount of trash and dirt, specially near the pools.
The large swimming pool in the middle has markings, indicating it is a short course swimming pool. The pool to the south has two diving boards that the player can climb up using a stair at the back and jump into the water. The pool to the north is empty and has been converted into a skateboarding ramp.
The park is near the Humboldt River, and thus offers a great view of Charge Island and the Algonquin skyline, specially the East Borough Bridge, Lancaster and Middle Park East.
Influence[]
It is based on Astoria Park in Queens, New York, United States.
