John Jay Park is a 3.3-acre park in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is located between East 76th and 78th Streets, and between the FDR Drive and a short street called Cherokee Place, on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The park is named for statesman and New York Governor John Jay. In 1902 the city acquired through condemnation a parcel of land at the site of the park and opened a public bath house in 1906.
