Description
Named for an 18th-century publisher, the park features a stone marker and small historical memorials. Its west side provides views of the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge.
Rather than expansive lawns, the space is built around practical amenities like a playground with a jungle gym, benches, and tables for games or picnics. Grassy areas are limited to small patches, but the open areas host sunbathing, skating, and routine community events.
