4.7 (55)park
Free entry
This leafy Bronx park offers river views, shady paths, and the historic aqueduct bridge that once brought water to the city.
Description




The park highlights a clear contrast between populous city and untouched nature, drawing local runners, chess players, and plenty of birds. While it is typically a relaxing spot, visitors should expect some noise due to ongoing upgrades and renovations.
