Great park if youre looking for basketball/tennis courts or a REALLY nice view of the coastline of lower New York and New Jersey. Located under the George Washington Bridge is this really nice and quiet park. Ive only been through 2 entrances which were the bike trail and a small trail that leads underneath the highway to the George Washington Bridge. Although you have to travel much more than you would with other parks, its well worth it when you see the beautiful view. People here are pretty friendly. Mostly encounter cyclists passing by as the park is conveniently located right on the West Henry Drive. Aside from that, theres always park events going on.

I came here with my daughter to see real live lighthouse. After reading wonderful book about this place. Here you have a picnic area, tennus court part of long trail. The way we came from 181st street is quite steep so have good walking shoes. But the view of the bridge and little red light house make the walk worth it. Be back soon. :)

A wonderful place for families and exercise enthusiasts to visit. There are bike paths, picnic areas, playgrounds and basketball courts. It is a massive free green space in Harlem, New York. It is clean, and has security that roams the park checking for trouble. I had a great day walking through this park with friends, and would return.

This park is so beautiful. It was my first time there and when I started getting in, I was amazed by the beauty and peace of the place. You can only hear the water, wind, leaves and birds. Picnic tables are awesome and theres tenis courts. If you want to relax a little, this is the perfect place for it.

It has a long and narrow waterfront park that starts at Dyckman Street and abruptly ends near the Henry Hudson Bridge, without any way to exit other than to go back to Dyckman Street. The waterfront is beautiful in its own rustic way and the walk path is even and paved nicely.

Fantastic location, going there is a bit tricky, so I wouldnt recommend for the elderly, but the lighthouse is great place to visit. Theres a few benches near the lighthouse to sit, watch the water, eat lunch, etc. Great place to visit at least once.

This is probably the most scenic park in NYC. It sits high on the Hudson with an amazing view of the GWB and TZ bridges. It is nice and breezy and never to hot for the basketball court. I nice get away from the urban jungle.

Nice little park under the George Washington Bridge. The little red lighthouse is here and the views across the river are great. Also great for a run along the river and not very crowded. Be careful of the bikers.

A really nice park with lots of greenery. Nice for cycling as youre past the crowds further south on the west side and youre removed from the highway, surrounded by trees. Nice and relaxing!

This place is beautiful. Be aware if you are on the walking/biking/running path between the water and train that it does not connect to the trail further south. You will have to turn around.

now safer than when i was at columbia med in the 1980s when it was crack city and full of drug dealers, now safe in daytime, good tennis courts that are often empty, good view of bridge:)

Awsome views of the G.W. Bridge and surroundings. Extensive trail system with intricate stone walls, stairs and parapets with great views of the Hudson. Very hilly and a good workout.

Great to visit the only lighthouse left in Manhattan. We subsequently bought the book which is based on this lighthouse. Great views over to New Jersey and of the bridge.

Lovely park where you can bike or run, all the way down the West Side of Manhattan, almost without interruption. Views of the river are fantastic from the park as well.
