This park is great. The views are amazing especially the view of the GW Bridge looking north. The track is nice and the facilities seem to keep the local kids happy. Living a block away is good!

It's really nice! The basketball court is big and the rollerskating rink is super cheap 5$ to get in. And the view from here is impeccable. Highly recommend

This covered outdoor rink boasts spectacular views of the Hudson River and the Jersey Palisades. The rink is divided into two sections for different skills.

Great a scenic view of the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge . Also, there are tons of different sport activities . In all, anyone could have a great and fun day here.

None of the tips mention the 50m swimming pool ! Adult lap swimming every morning, family swim most days. Rarely very crowded (except summer afternoons).
