    Great park for hiking. Clean park. Nice views of Harlem river.

  • Review 2 (2023-10-11 - Rating: 4)

    A beautiful park with a lot of ongoing restoration projects, such as American chestnut restoration project.The park is operated by The New York Resoration Project, an NGO that inspires privetly owned foundations to invest in this type of project.This park, along with Inwood Hill Park, is one of the last wetland sanctuaries in NYC. Our city has already lost approx 70% of wetlands.

    I always enjoy visiting and walking, biking or running down the paths of this enormous linear park. Being engulfed in nature is relaxing and worth a visit. You see views of the Harlem River and get on High Bridge which connects Manhattan and the Bronx (car-free). The greenway offers access dedicated space for biking.

  • Review 4 (2019-08-19 - Rating: 5)

    Beautiful, historic park filled with activities and playgrounds for everyone. Plus the historic High Bridge pedestrian walkway which is open to the public from 7am to 7pm everyday.

  • Review 5 (2024-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    As far as parks go, this is probably my second favorite place to take a walk by myself. Its so expansive, you can spend three days here and still see all new places. Immense. LOTS of private areas to relax without being interrupted with noise or nosy people. Excellent place to reflect and be alone, or to spend time with a friend or buddy and enjoy the outside air.

  • Review 6 (2019-04-04 - Rating: 5)

    The view in the middle of winter isnt that great...but in the summer and spring items beautiful with all the trees and plants. Breeze is amazing and calming. I would definitely recommend coming here for a picnic or just relaxing

    I grew up in Washington Heights from the late 80s till 2008. The bridge and everything behind Highbridge pool was always closed, full of stolen cars and homeless people its great to see that they have cleaned up everything and made walking paths for people to enjoy the history thats back there

  • Review 9 (2021-10-29 - Rating: 5)

    On return from biking from Roberto Clemente State Park to Astoria I and my six years old took the advice of a DOT advisor and chose the high bridge route.The views were stunning on the High Bridge. My little son was so happy with the green pathway 🏞️ after the High Bridge and the Central Park scenic route he didnt complain about the twelve mile distance even once! 💚He was singing along the way.

  • Review 10 (2024-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Very nice views. Pretty high up. It was used as a water reservoir. You can cross it and end up in the Bronx.

  • Review 11 (2022-10-09 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely stunning park with plenty of greenery and a way to disconnect from the urban environment nearby. Offers a little isolation and not a high of amount of pedestrian traffic. Beautiful views of the High Bridge. Plenty of easy access for pedestrians and bikers like.

  • Review 12 (2018-07-07 - Rating: 4)

    A very beautiful place to walk/jog especially the trail. It isnt as large as most other part but certainly long and beautiful to think and wander.

  • Review 13 (2020-06-01 - Rating: 4)

    Highbridge is a clean, safe family friendly park. Since the pool, playgrounds, baseball fields and courts are closed its more quiet than usual. During COVID you can still find folks picnicking and exercising, lots of dog walking too. Very enjoyable

  • Review 14 (2019-10-17 - Rating: 5)

    Love this park! When you walk through, you can appreciate the city and nature. Now lights are being install which will add an improvement in security. Nice job 👍🏽

  • Review 15 (2016-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    Great place for a walk, jogging or bike ride since the park has been restored in 2015. Beautiful scenery too!

  • Review 16 (2019-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    Its a nice little park to sit down and take in the view or a nice stroll across the bridge. You get an excellent view of the Harlem River, the Major Deegan highway or Harlem River drive. During the early days of summer is the best time to walk the bridge because of the cool evening time and the amazing sunset view from the bridge.

  • Review 17 (2022-06-24 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect for running and and worknig out. Is also good for just sitting down amd relax

  • Review 18 (2020-12-13 - Rating: 4)

    Now that the leaves are gone the beauty is dormant but the drama of the city is on full display. The river, the highways, the Bronx, and the bridge still make the hike worthwhile.

  • Review 19 (2021-08-17 - Rating: 5)

    Beautiful experience with my husband and my son. We biked through here and had to stop for the view and of course some photos... Lovely place to enjoy a nice breeze and view.

    One of my favorite places to go especially in the summer!! There is a beautiful meadow on the lower level that is like out of a movie.

  • Review 21 (2024-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    One of the most underrated parks in all of New York City! Many different trails and paths that can lead you to places that you wouldnt even believe are Manhattan. Highly recommend.

  • Review 22 (2020-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    Features unpaved trail with a view of the Bronx and a Highbridge, of course. Parts of this park are currently under reconstruction. Its a part of multi million revitalization program by NYC Parks.

  • Review 23 (2021-05-30 - Rating: 5)

    One of the oldest bridge crossings in NYC. Great route across the East River from the Bronx to Inwood Park

  • Review 24 (2019-10-07 - Rating: 5)

    This nostalgic historical bridge that has been refurbished is an ideal unobstructed method to commute from the Bronx to Manhattan. The ability to walk, jog, or ride a bike without worrying about car fumes is refreshing during the day. There are a few benches to sit and watch the boats riding along the river. The only safety concern is that once you walk the bridge from the Bronx towards the Manhattan path, there are no lights to guide you once it gets dark. People have been seen using flashlights and walking accompanied to avoid traversing alone; although the bridge is closed and not accessible approximately after 8pm.

  • Review 25 (2024-09-28 - Rating: 5)

    Love the many trails secluded areas to be alone but be careful sometimes to secluded

  • Review 27 (2024-05-20 - Rating: 4)

    The park itself is mostly clean, just at the bridge connecting from the park to the Bronx is dirty. There are many playgrounds for the kids to play in. Theres one playground in every 10 blocks or so. Theres also a Mountain biking course at the northern side of the park. HighBridge Park is a very good park for everyone with some outside interests.

  • Review 31 (2019-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    The place is very clean and safe. It is surrounded by trees and so the air is fresh. This is a great place to bring your family and friends.

  • Review 32 (2018-10-31 - Rating: 5)

    Off the beaten path less used park, great connection over to the Bronx via Highbridge pedestrian overpass. Also a low traffic alternative throughfare and nice way to avoid the hills of the westside on the Harlem River Path. Lastly there are dirt jumps and legal mountain bike trails in here actual elevation and some interesting runs, wouldnt want to fall in here alotta strange items on the side of the trails nonetheless very cool.

  • Review 33 (2022-05-12 - Rating: 5)

    There is a lovely paved path on its northernmost eastern entrance heading south. The bridge, however, isnt the only thing thats high. Keep your eyes open for used needles on the ground! The graffiti museum under the Bridge is gorgeous and love the maps pointing out the starting point of the Old Aqueduct Trail.

  • Review 34 (2017-12-31 - Rating: 5)

    Highbridge Park, a wonderful quiet hideaway that my dog and I enjoy everyday!! Has a great trail that goes up to a walkable bridge that lets you end up in the Bronx. The scenery along the trail is awesome and peaceful...My dog, PETRA loves running and sniffing every part of the woods!! Bring your dog and lets enjoy them enjoying nature in the middle of Manhattan!!

  • Review 37 (2021-01-06 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place to walk over even on a rainy day. The view is not scenic more industrial views if you like that kind of stuff. Interesting history associated with the bridge. I wish they would beautify both sides more to make it more a destination from both sides. Easy to get to via subway. I recommend this nice walk over!

    Spectacular Views coming off the GW rite by High Bridge Pk. Routes for Cycling as well

  • Review 40 (2016-11-30 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely love this park. It sits at a higher elevation, allowing for great views of the surrounding areas. Lush with trees and with unpaved, sometimes non-existent walk paths, it makes you feel like youre in a forest until you hear and see the road traffic beneath the park. There are natural exposed rocks like the ones in Central Park. The autumn colors are amazing, similar to the famed foliage of New England. There is a path to an aqueduct-style walk bridge, which you can cross to get to the Bronx.

  • Review 46 (2018-05-06 - Rating: 5)

    A nice place to explore and spend some time with the kids. They have events organized by the parks dept. and they have a public pool as well.

  • Review 47 (2021-08-18 - Rating: 4)

    Very clean pool. The only problem was that ever few minutes the kids were finding rusty nails all over the pool. Mostly in the little ones section. Fortunately no one stepped on any of them. Oh and my bathing suit was stained by the rust on the grates at the edge of the pool. Aside from that, all staff we encountered were nice.

    All this years living in The Bronx, and I never came to this bridge. A bridge that serve a important purpose for this City. It was awesome for me to visit this forgotten Bronx landmark.

  • Review 50 (2019-09-13 - Rating: 4)

    Beautiful. What a renovation. I was lucky to witness the great renovation and even read about it. It was a wreck. The homeless used it as a safe haven. Monumental! The work seemed to go on and on. However, today itsnot only beautiful but clean with a great view of the Bronx (Yankee $tadium. What a great bit of history. Check it out.

  • Review 51 (2022-03-05 - Rating: 5)

    I truly love coming here during the winter time. The view from this park is so beautiful and you can have a clean view of the city. .. During the summer time it’s too clogged with people and this isn’t a place I would recommend if you don’t want to someone too close to your side.

  • Review 52 (2019-01-14 - Rating: 5)

    Its a beautiful park and they offer many different things to the community from exercise, swimming lessons and many more. They have a large Olympic pool and a big kiddie pool for small children. They offer many activities for everyone from children all the way to senior citizens.

  • Review 53 (2017-11-20 - Rating: 4)

    Pretty good park, definitely has the neighborhood flavor. Pool is big but could definitely use a renovation (plus some seating on the pool deck would be nice). Bring flip flops and a lock (they dont let people in without a lock).

  • Review 54 (2021-07-18 - Rating: 4)

    Highbridge park is beautiful, but it could use some improvements. I know the city has been working to update some of it, Ive seen the updates. But I wished there were plans to add more garbage cans. Maybe it would I courage people not to litter there. It used to be an easy 5 stars park but people have been leaving their garbage everywhere. I see the odd garbage can is being used because its full. We all need to do our part.

  • Review 55 (2022-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    By far my favorite place in Highbridge, makes all the drama worth it when you can just walk across the bridge in peace. (Side note, on the Harlem side of the park it is definitely a male hookup spot so I do not recommend going that way after dark)

    I love this park! It has everything. From trails which you forget your in manhattan, tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball field, grass fields, sitting areas, and my favorite the two dog runs. One for larger breeds & one for smaller breeds. Both include fresh running water, pools with small pebbles grounding for no dust, good drainage and easy clean up.

    I love this park but could we finish it?? I was walking around with a toddler for an hour and a half because we found ourselves at dead ends several times. We followed a path and then it was gone. We finally got out except we were blocked by a construction site.... so I taught a 2.5 year old how to slide on his belly under a gate. So.... finish the park.

    An outdoor park with multiple sections to do different activities with your children and family.

    Awesomely challenging hardcore urban mountain biking trails. Nice dirt jumps up at top as reward for climbing from lower flowing skills section.

    I remember this park back in 73-75, I was just a young boy , went walking, swimming, played baseball, went to the swings or just explore. Man that was so much fun! I lost mom and two sisters along the way and I guess when I look at this park it reminds me of them, cant believe it still brings me to tears.

    I use to go here all the time when I was a little girl. Its a huge park. Beautiful view. They have a huge pool. Theres always vendors in front selling food and icecream. They have lockers. You can come and walk around or even do excersise or go bike riding. When I was little my mom use to go and play bingo in this park. They sometimes do festivals and concerts here or even do fundraising. Theres stores across the street. When you come for the pool you have to wait in a big line so try to come early so you wont wait as much. This park is very old been here for years.

    A perfect place for skate boarders. Safe place for kids from noon to dusk. Also great for views of Manhattans Eastside and the Bronx. With a jogging and walking trail. The walk on the newly renovated and opened walkway across the Harlem River. Great views during the day of the Eastside of Manhattan and the west side of the Bronx. But at night the view is more magical. Try it out.

  • Review 96 (2018-12-01 - Rating: 4)

    Not a very big park, however its trail does extend from about 158th street to about 172nd street so its safe to say the trail is fairly distanced. You have the actual High Bridge at the top North end of the trail, which also offers a different view at the center of it, and a great view of the Bronx across the Harlem River on the East side. If you stay on the trail you can have yourself a pretty good run and its not often crowded so it offers a little relief from the average busy NYC streets.

  • Review 97 (2019-11-16 - Rating: 5)

    They finally after years of deterioration, they have renovated and open the bridge for everyone to walk in it, though getting there from the Manhattan side in the park is dangerous if youre not careful. Back then you can see the bridge from Washington bridge not too far (the bridge connecting Manhattan and Bronx) but would never cross it because of the state it was. Some people did tend to pass through the barricade, and went in, (before camera phones were invented and people taking selfies) for the thrills.

    The bridge is cool. Theres a nice isolated road for cycling and running. The good thing is to get there there is long steps down, going up is the bad part.

    One of the nicest place in the Bronx for a short walk. If riding a bike, you can take 155th st, jump over the highway and ride all the way till the end of Harlem River Drive, then take some pictures of the Boat House

    Nice park. Like the walk across the old old aquaduct to the Bronx. Not a very crowded park. Some parts of the path way out are a little rapey feeling.

    I lived in the Bronx back in the 60s ,grew up over there in South Harlem area. And it brings back memories when crew of friends go up there to high bridge park and go swimming. Afterwards eat outside before heading home, frenchfries at the vending truck. It was a lot of fun!

    It was great to visit this historic park and finally cross the oldest pedestrian bridge in NYC. I only wish I could have gone inside Highbridge Tower. I would pay for the privilege.

    Highbridge Park is located in Washington Heights on the banks of the Harlem River near the northernmost tip of the New York City borough of Manhattan, between 155th Street and Dyckman Street. The park is operated and maintained by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. Prominent in the park are the Manhattan end of the restored High Bridge, which was re-opened in June 2015, the High Bridge Water Tower, and the Highbridge Play Center
