Henry Hudson Park

Nice quite park with a very spacious kids playground and sand pits as well as slides and basketball court.

Another beautiful park in the heart of the Bronx. I almost at the Henry Hudson Park by Accident. The bus I was riding on had a detour and everyone had to come out. It just happened that the closest bus stop was in front of this beautiful park, the Henry Hudson Park. Quiet and peaceful with some residents walking their dogs.

Nice park. Lots of shaded areas. A few playgrounds, handball courts, basketball courts, and a sledding hill in the winter.

I am biased because I live very close to this park, but Henry Hudson Park is lovely and spacious. There are some dedicated people who I believe do their best to keep this park beautiful in the spring, summer, and fall. This winter, the central hill was utilized for a lot of sledding because of all the snow in February 2021. Sadly, earlier in the summer of 2020, Hurricane Isaias was responsible for laying waste on several ancient trees in the park. But there are many more to enjoy. A word of warning, I did stumble upon a huge patch of poison ivy in the northwest corner of the park along the main trail. While it didn't pose an immediate threat, this park is dog friendly, and if a dog accidentally wades through the brush on the side of the path where it is, it is possible they could roll around in it. I called 311 and reported it, they closed the ticket, but I think it was still there.

Lovely short walk. The park is split in two parts. We had to cross the street to see half of the park. Beautiful greenery.
