Great park for kids, dogs, and adults! There's a huge playground with a water feature, a dog run, and a lookout over the George Washington Bridge and the Hudson. It's a great date spot. Go get some empanadas from Empanadas monumental or from malecon, then sit and enjoy the greenery.

I loved it, I had never been there and the experience was beautiful. If you want to sit in front of the water and watch the others fish or you want to fish, this is the place, it has a large parking lot, benches, and bathrooms. In fact, you can go with your family, I recommend it

I was told today by another dog owner to be careful because “under that tree is a rat poison”. I will post picture below about which tree he was talking. Dog owners beware. Dog park rangers, what is going on? I feel that it should be reported to 311.

The spring flowering trees are gorgeous. The play area for kids was wonderful for kids of all ages. Not for teens. There are clean restrooms and plenty of places to sit. There is a dog park. It's pretty big.

It is a lovely park! I grew up there, and it has only gotten better. I just wish that the bathrooms were open by 6am for those who jog and exercise and are in need of a bathroom sometimes

  • Sherrie

Great hidden gem in the Heights. I would like to see more lights, because in some areas of the park it is very dark. Tons of benches, and overall the grounds are kept pretty clean.

  • Tiffany Chen

A small park that feels like a community. Open layout and a gorgeous view of the GWB. It has a great area for anyone who is a dog owner or anyone who wants to sit out on the grass.

  • Belarminia Ortiz

Beautiful little park. Love the big rock where you can sit on and absorb nature's beauty. They have a small area for dogs. I love animals, so it was a joy to watch them play.

My family took a chance at this park and it was surprisingly inviting! The children got along well and most children were around the age of 3-5. Very laid-back. We recommend!

Beautiful but on the smaller side. Def a dog friendly park with a small dog park that is enclosed! Lots of nice grass and some nice views.
