Estella Diggs Park is a 0.9-acre (0.36 ha) public park in the Morrisania neighborhood of the Bronx. In the late 1960s, many properties in Morrisania were abandoned and demolished, leaving vacant lots that blighted the neighborhood. The New York City Parks Department acquired this property in 1978 and it was briefly used as a community garden but later again became vacant. In 1990, additional lots were acquired by Parks and the site was named Rocks and Roots Park.
