Hidden Gem of a park! I been living in the area for about 2 months and I never bothered to explore this park for the lack of good pictures, but im pleasantly surprised at how cool and dense this trail is.

Its 100% covered by trees, it feels nice and shady with some challenging hills. I wouldn’t recommend taking dogs here because of the wild life but it’s certainly allowed.

It took me about 1 hour to walk the big loop and the whole time I felt like I was outside the city breathing fresh air.

Really gorgeous park and a great place to start a tip to tip trip. In a very hilly area which is a nice contrast from most of NYC.

The most secluded place in Manhattan.
See tulip trees and a site where Manhattan was purchased.

A secluded, majestic haven on the north tip of Manhattan. There are not many lush, unadorned parks like this, places not overcrowded, places where the hiker can wander and explore. Expect a steep elevation, but the exploring is not hard if you're reasonably fit. Springtime ensconces the park in an emerald wonderland, leaves erupting from wispy tree branches and tiny plants blowing in the hearty breeze. If you want to be apart from the rush of the city, come here and feel the transcendent beauty of solitude among a vibrant world of life.

A very beautiful park. I went with my friend on a saturday. The park is huge, I saw alot of people walking their dogs, babies in strollers, joggers, photographers, and random folks. Park is by the water front, I think the Hudson. I saw train tracks too. At a point if we continued their would be more trails to explore.

Beautiful park filled with a wide variety of activities and a great way to disconnect from the urban environment next door. Massive amounts of green space, watch a community baseball game, climb up high and view the Hudson River from a high vantage point.

Beautiful park with lots go do.. sports fields baseball. Several walking trails.. it's hilly not flat, that's Inwood.. walk around the path that leads to the Hudson river.. catch a nice sunset.

This park has grown on me, since my son loves to come here to ride his scooter and watch the Metro North trains pass by. There’s always plenty of space to hang out in the grass, great paths for hiking/running, and they’ve made some nice changes to the waterfront area by the dock. There is an open soccer field (no nets), baseball fields and a playground…and plenty of space to bbq/chill.

Plenty of trails for bike riding, hiking and exploring the more naturistic side of New York City. Basketball courts, 5 baseball fields, 8 handball courts, 2 playgrounds. Next to Columbia university stadium.
