Riverdale Park

This is one of the places that makes me happy to live in Riverdale. Nestled between the Hudson River and the furthest western street in the Bronx is this beautiful park. It is quiet with many trees and squirrels to keep you company. I sat on log the other day, gazing through the red and yellow leaves at the river. I could actually hear the water lapping at the shore. I spent an hour there reading my book. It is a thin slice of park, but it is fairly long, so you can spend a long time there. The only thing that annoys me about it is the people who walk their dogs without leashes. Read the signs folks, I have enough problems in life, I don't need to worry about your dog biting me.

So awesome. Beautiful trails. Peaceful. My new home away from home

A secret wonderland! No restrooms or picnic area but hiking trails with magnificent Palisades and Hudson River views.

It's my hidden weekend gem. It's a lovely place to walk the dogs. The lovely place to meditate. It's a lovely place to go running. It's a little busy during the week so I tend to only go on weekends.

U gotta love this place.. 🖤

Beautiful peaceful trail by Hudson River

It is largely undeveloped and under the radar. Nice break from the city.

Quiet quaint area... Juts along the Hudson River and the Metro North tracks. Great for dogs and beginner hikers. Would avoid on inclement weather days as there are several hills that would be slick

Quite, peaceful, beautiful

Nice trails close to the city and with nice views of the river. Bring your mountain bike if possible for an even better time.

Peaceful and relaxing. Breath taking views and beautiful trails.

I live going for runs on the weekend here when its less crowded. Kind of a semi-wild area with lots of trails. I'm not sure why it's less crowded in weekends than during the week. Go figure.

Gorgeous view, lovely hike.

Beautiful & peaceful.

Riverdale Park seems more like a woods than a typical NYC park. There is a trail and it hugs the Metro North Hudson line tracks at most points.

Great place for hiking. You can catch a beautiful sunset over here

A wonderful Park. Grew up in Riverdale, & always loved getting great exercise there. I don't live in Riverdale anymore, but when I visit I would love to walk in that Park again.

Great trails to walk or run. Beautiful view of the river and Palisades.

I absolutely adore this trail! I walk it every day. You forget you’re in the Bronx 😌

I love going for walks here. So does my beloved Lucky. It's very peaceful, has good views, & is good exercise.
