English term or phrase: Harlem River(Translation)
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish.

Translators from Spain feel free to send me your suggestions in European Spanish.

It's an editing about parks. It's about the construction of a park in New York. Is Harlem River translated as Rio Harlem in this case or is the name should be left in English?

Here is the context:

Queremos saber de ti! Ven
a compartir tus ideas para
construir un nuevo parque en
el borde del Harlem River, en el
sur del Bronx.




Please let me know.
Thanks.
