Description

The park's green lawn is framed by trees, rocky outcroppings, and a paved loop for jogging and biking. Beyond the Hudson River overlook, the space is built for active locals, offering basketball and handball courts alongside a large central field. Families can take advantage of distinct play zones, including a sandpit for toddlers and a larger setup for older kids. There is also a cordoned off-leash run with water facilities for dogs.
