Peaceful place to go, especially if your in the Bronx and feeling bumbed out.
Very updated and clean. Fun place for the kids. Pool and sprinklers
When I first moved to River Park Towers, I found it incredibly fortunate to have a state park as your backyard. In the cooler months like feb-march the park isnt too impressive because like most things in the Bronx, it's neglected until it can become a tourist attraction in the summer. That being said it's wonderful now, the grills are open, still waiting on the pool (also waiting to see how the hygiene of the pool will be maintained) and there are amazing views of the city.
My dog and I are big nature lovers so I try and get as close to the water or to secluded nice views as possible. Defintely a great park for the Bronx to have, I just hope with it's rising sucess, it doesn't gentrify the area. I give it 4 stars because it needs a dog run at least in the nearby area, and it needs friendlier staff.
I do like the place, everything is clean, everyone keep distance. I recommend if you have a kids with special needs bring them in the morning because we tried to go back in the afternoon and it was a chaos. Too much people and don't follow the protocols as the mornings.
This hidden gem is tucked between I-278 and the East River in the Bronx. There is parking available within the park and on the street; the Metro North (Morris Heights stop) drops you off at the entrance.
The park was recently renovated and updates include more barbecue grills & tables, an outdoor stage for musical performances, & new baseball, T-ball, and soccer fields.
There is a playground, basketball court, kiddie pool, Olympic pool, and a deeper pool for diving.
The main building also includes restrooms, Park Ranger office, and an indoor basketball court reserved for park leagues.
Side note - this park has great views of High Bridge and the nearby High Bridge Water Tower for any NYC history buffs.
It a nice park by the Hudson river where there is a track, basketball courts, kids pay grounds inside gym and activities fot the kids.
Beautiful view and great big pool for the whole family. I went to just walk around and catch some sun and look out into the Harlem River. Very cool place. It's under construction but what's there looks great so far.
Let the people out of their homes and enjoy life. I cant wait for things to get back to normal. I know this is one of the places I will be returning to. Not the best, but will do.
Nice serene setting haven't been here in years prior to the upgrades of the ball fields and walkpath
