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
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.
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.
The only park in New York City with a professional grade BMX track. The water tower tour is a must do. Be careful on their off road track. If you fall you can go 20 feet rolling down hill.
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.
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.
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
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
Beautiful walk in the trees to a pedestrian bridge crossing the Harlem River, connecting WaHi and the Bronx. Just reopened the iconic water tower for scheduled tours by park rangers.
The best on Washington Heights .for sports including swimming .and we can do our Rumba.
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.
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.
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 👍🏽
I love it, its my park, born and raised here, k vivan los 🇩🇴.
Been there done that, I took a walk around that park numerous times and it took me to relax, enjoying my time for myself.
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.
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.
At 15yrs old my first Job was at the Highbridge Recreation Center, my 2nd Job was for Bette Midler and her NYPD I was her youngest Crew Member 1996
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.
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.
Very nice and clean park. Feels like a completely different environment while still being in the city.
Great place for a walk, jogging or bike ride since the park has been restored in 2015. Beautiful scenery too!
Come and try our trails, I built a drop in this park it’s a wall drop, you don’t need a lot of speed to do it it’s about 5 feet tall try it!!! Also we have a pump trak and jump line
Me and my girlfriend came here on our first date and walked over the bridge it was very nice and romantic.
Its a nice scenery high above but just average on street level nothing to boast or brag about
Great open public space with a bridge connecting Washington Heights and the Bronx and some terrific views of the Harlem River and Manhattan.
It such a beautiful place for a walk, stroll and even a bike ride. It also has a pool, playground and picnic area.
The bridge and directly adjacent parts are very nice, but the areas to the north end are decrepit and strewn with syringes. Ashamed that this is an nyc Park when it could be a very nice area.
Always a lovely walk, up close w nature the views are awesome and you get to see 2 Boros.
Love walking in the park. Great for daily exercise routines.
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.
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.
Its a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the view
Nice neighborhood park to chill specially the summer
Fantastic. Very good to spend time and relax .
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.
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.
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!!
Its a nice, safe place for exercise or relaxation. Its clean for the most part and well maintained.. The view from the footbridge is a stunner! Be prepared to capture many images for your scrapbook.
Some trails are blocked off and lots of debris on the side of the park area
It is good but the long Hill can end up into accidents
I went for an event but the park was really nice
Nice place to visit with children.
Spectacular Views coming off the GW rite by High Bridge Pk. Routes for Cycling as well
We are currently working on the water tower, and i gotta say the view is amazing from above. You guys tell me what you think
Thats my mountain bike there in the pictures its a pretty cool little park lots of glass so on the trail so make sure you have puncture strips theres even some Adventure trials I cant do definitely worth it for free especially in York City grab your mountain bike come on out and get your backflip on
Nice pass to get over and bike by the west side bike lanes
Oh them Dominican boys after dark are so between my legs
Nice huge park.Kids love it
All down hill and just ramps. To get to the park you have to walk thru the most and do the most all at once highly recommend for BMX and roller skates.
The park is lovely right now. Theres alot of things for kids to do. If no kids theres quiet places to go. I say just make a day of it and enjoy.
This is my spot for a great run! I love the idea of running from The Bronx to Manhattan in less than 5 min and vice versa.
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.
Nice cool walk it takes 15 minutes to cross to Manhattan from the Bronx dont go at 🌃 I didnt see any cameras or police 🤔
An outdoor park with multiple sections to do different activities with your children and family. Great for family picnics and gatherings, also to play many diverse sports and games with your kids. One of the best places to make any of your plans happen. If you are from the neighborhood, its very close to everything.
Great. Awesome environment. Great for athletic activities. Great way to spend a day doing active things. I had a really good time.
Amazing place for your kids
Nice park if you wanna just walk around and breathe in so mother nature. Park can be dirty at times but has gotten a lot better in the last couple of years. Pool in the summer and rec center all year. Even a jungle gym for kids. Park is small and dirty at times my only compliant
Nice park. Nice views. Do the walk across the historic bridge. The parks department does free tours of the bridge and I did one and it was good. There are plaques along the bridge that tell you some of its history. The outdoor public pool in this park is free and big. Two pools, one that goes to about 2 feet and the other one that goes to 10.5 feet. Second one starts somewhere between 3-4 feet I think. Its the only free outdoor public pool in the city where you can swim in water taller than you. Love it.
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.
Great views of the city! This is a must see for native NYers and people who are visiting. Its a hidden gem and the bike trails leading up to it are in great condition well maintained. You are riding along and all of a suden you come to an opening and there is this bridge that connects Washington Heights to the Bronxs. The views are amazing and there are a few benches to sit and enjoy the views.
Best early bird place to workout
This park is getting better every year thanks to the efforts of the parks department and volunteers. The views are great and a walk across the bridge is a unique experience. The surrounding neighborhood has good food to offer, an experience in itself
Beautiful park. Theres a walkway down to the restored bridge and you can cross over to the bronx. Wonderful views and so much to do. Theres a pool, playground, small baseball field and of course lots of places to sit and have a picnic if you want. Theyve cleaned up this park and its great
Great views... I may have come at a bad time as the bay was low and emitted a stench that I couldnt stay to long, was getting a headache. But I can totally see myself coming back when the tide is higher and have lunch on the beautiful patio.
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.
Awesomely challenging hardcore urban mountain biking trails. Nice dirt jumps up at top as reward for climbing from lower flowing skills section. Various sections to learn on or flow together at top section from rock gardens and rooty to water logs and rollers. Just know your limits and be aware.
Great place thanks to NYC!
Amazing park, you can walk or ride your bike. One of the drawbacks is that restrooms are not easily accessible, only few point along the way have restrooms and at times are closed.The pool here is used by the community and it is well maintained. You will have to make long lines to get in once school is over.One of NYC finest locations. Once a year they offer and inside tour of the water tower.
Beautiful scenery and relaxing
I love the fact that its so big. It dont matter how packed it gets you will still have space to swim.
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.
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).
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.
The walk/jog/bike path is really nice. Mostly shaded. Small playground with sprinklers are fun for hot weather...
The bridge itself is nice to walk. Would recommend with a friend or 2.
A wonderful walk along the old Croton Aqueduct from Washington Heights to the Bronx, crossing Highbridge. The marked trail begins on Edgecombe near 150th Street. For accessible participation, a paved path begins at155th and Edgecombe.
Great place to spend the day especially the hot summer also very clean and modern.
I was there to get the Covid 19 test done.There you can get tested for both of them, the nasal and also the blood to check if you had it before.maybe you have the antibodies.Thankfully I got a negative result but be ready to make a long line.The healths personal are very professional.Just get there early and have patience.Good luck and keep you mask on.
Was so nice, a little dirty, because the people not care the child ans dogs, but fine after all. Recommend..
It has a pool and its where the Major League Domino players are at. Friendly ambiance, kids park, 10 feet pool and a kiddie pool. It has a Kids play ground, tons of open space ***it also has a solar panel charging station*** how cool is that? It has a baseball field too. And a walking bridge that takes you to the Bronx aaaaand a YMCA
Visiting, walking along Highbridge Park is refreshing, invigorating. It always brings me a lot of memories since I have lived in the neighborhood for such a long time and I am familiar with this park. It looks clean, neat. Id wish the Watertower section would be open.
The pool here got renovated 2 years ago and the pool is incredibly popular. Theres 2 huge pools with one specific to children and the other for more adult crowds. I would definitely go again
Ive havent been here since I was a child. To come back yrs later with my own children was a dream come true.
Went looking for the skatepark, the way there was crazy sketchy but the park was pretty cool
Beautiful open area great for kids and picnics
Too many lowlife pigs going there in the night mostly. The park is filled with Marijuana smokers. Though there aare cameras there, I seriously doubt that they work. Feels decent in the morning. Turns ghetto in the night.The bathrooms borderline useable. Cleaning staff shows up way to late and leaves way to early. I wouldnt be surprised if prostitution goes on in the park. Park police never truly patrols nor adequately enforce the rules. Go at your own risk
Lovely clean right on the river
A great place to go for a swim or workout. If you plan on using the pool, they strongly encourage you to bring a lock. The staff are pretty strict about following the rules.
Very busy! Lots of teenagers. If thats okay with you then its cool. Water is very clean. Definitely trad the rules before you go. Bring a lock to put on your locker. Free!
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.
This is a wonderful park. Its space is big and it has enough space to organize and coordinate for any public events or any occasion as well as for family picnics even concerts.
Wow ! The city fix this place really good . Great view from all directions . Definitely worth taking a trip there.-1 for the occasional smoker see there ,overall the place and the view are phenomenon. Highly recommend you take a trip on a sunrise or a sunset
I always go to the pool here during the summer, its okay but sometimes when one person does something stupid a bunch of other people follow and then everybody gets kicked out. And it sucks sometimes because you cant even bring in water to drink if you get thirsty & they dont even have vending machines inside where you can buy some .
Very nice bridge for pedestrians!
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.
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. Do yourselves a big favor, forgive one another, love one another, care for one another. Be blessed , may Gods richest and best be yours.
Love this pool my family & I go to this pool its big & it have a bby pool off to the side that go up to 2 feet & the other side go from 3 feet to 10 feet this pool is the best & they also give lunch at 12pm . If my family and I love it I know you will
Very nice, hospitable and professional staff. I took my mom over to get tested and they were so accommodating
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
Great experience at this park. They had been renovating some of the areas and it looks so much better. I just love taking long walks here.
Its simply lovely, with playgrounds and ball fields and basketball courts. Theres also a pool! It would get 5 stars except that there always seem to be hookah smokers around!
I love the bridge to the Bronx, even if its shorter than I thought it would be. The pool is pretty cool. There are a couple of playgrounds. Parking in the neighborhood is scarce.
My nephew saw In The Heights and loved it! Had to take him to Highbridge Pool to commemorate! He loved it! #washingtonheights
This park is quiet and peaceful. But watch out for little girls they can sneaky sometimes and I got caught by one of the little girls who keep on asking me to hangout with them but I cant since I was busy with my track workers.
Not much here but there is some wildlife so thats nice!
I love to come here to swim. The pool is huge and it has a deep section too which allows you to dive. Its never too busy to swim your laps either.
An awesome place for all kinds of outdoor activities. I love it specially bc it has a Mountain Bike Trails and Dirt jump area. Also has many basketball courts next to the MTB trails which is very cool.
Majestic views up & down Hudson River from way above water from High Bridge. NYC skyline, Palisades cliffs, Washington Heights, Cleopatras Needle, several bridges. Quiet oasis in bustling city. Completely renovated and rebuilt w new playgrounds and exercise areas. High Bridge gate gets locked at night on Bronx side
The pool is big and clean, o like to go for the first shift when is nice and quiet. The rules are very strict but just relax, dont forget your lock and bri h a good oaperback.
Probably one of the better parks in Washington heights, and its pet friendly. Very clean! Be weary at night because their are some giant squirrel bandits near the darker edges of the park.
Its a nice park just watch with the tigers or as americans would say hoodlums. Nice place thoAs a young kid i was swiming in the nice pools they have only to come back to my locker being rob and broken into had to walk home in bare foot no shirt and wet with trunks on
We did not explore the entire park just a playground. Honeslty i did not really like it. It was dirty, there wasnt much of a playground, and the adults in the basketball court have no respect for the fact that there are little ones very close.
Great recreation center. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. Its clean. The equipment is well-maintained. My only complaint is parking
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.
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.
Good park, if it was bigger it would be much even better, it really feels good to walk to it, or to ride the bike, it really fills the lungs with fresh air.
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.
Love walking to this park also really enjoy the pool. I have been going there since I was a teenager
👀
That old school New York City charm. Vibrant, views, swimming and BBQs. A mixed urban crowd. The sort of a place a woman should expect to catch a holla in passing. If your looking for a park to restore your faith that there are signs of life in the city that isnt AMEX fueled, look no further. If you come open minded youll find one of the more uniquely beautiful parks in the city.
It’s a nice part there’s there’s a lot ofNo spaces and children to do different activities and then on Monday I want to go on a trip on there because I’m going to have a field day also there’s a playground
Its good during the 1st session. The second session has too many people. Its a younger crowd who dont know how to behave much. Some staff do not know how to talk to people.
Even after heavy snowstorm the park was well cleaned and maintains good trails & views.
First time going to the pool with my friends, I have to say it we okay just not the best. Why?? Because they enjoy throwing peoples money away instead of returning it back. My eyeliner pencil and my friends UNO cards were thrown away without an explanation. My friend asked if she can give them back, they said no and threw them away in front of us. I understand there are rules and regulations but it doesnt look right. There are lockers, they could have just returned our items and we can put them away or better yet, have ALL of the pool rules outside the pool enterance. After the pool my friende and I saw a full 2 liter soda in one of the garbage bags along with other material that is just a waste. I had to speak with one of the workers who was very nice to explain why are they throwing away some of our belongings. The rules arent clear and theres a chance I will not return to this pool. However, I dont like holding grudges against this place in general the pool is nice and there are lots of lifeguards who keep an eye out for people in the water I just dont like the service.
I like it to exercise is a very nice place to relax and have a nice breeze is excellent but sometime is a little overcrowded that you just cant do as much people like us so much what can you do
Great, they have one of the most biggest public swimming pool in New York City during summer, all you need is a lock and a bathing suit to enjoy the pool, Its free.
It is a beautiful place to pray
I had a awesome time the pools are great the place was clean the only i didnt like was the locker situation there outside they used to be inside the building
This park is awesome .lost of sights and lost of friendlys the pool is 10 thats a big plusss the have 2 sessions they also have akiddy section life guards and like I said friendlys.. bring your own combination lock no floties for ur babies they arnt aloud aside from the pool the walk around and in the park was great lots of trees with pathways u cant get lost I took my friends through the bushes and found some great chill spots ...but also bump into the deeper part where it was nasty filthy and fool of needles from crack heads
Needs a little of TCL ... And a RESTROOM
A bit on the dirty side. Given the pool is there, theyre prone to alot of people traffic but if you want to grab a quick and cheap bite, theres people selling food everywhere.
Park was nice. The locals were a bit wild with burn outs and donuts in their cars near kids playing.
Great park, the recreation center offer fitness classes, including zumba, cardio kickboxing, arts, huge pools during the summer and much more.
The beautiful park was so natural , nature boys paradise , but the crack and K-2 smokers messed it all up
Great view 😍
Great view of uptown Manhattan from a historic bridge that has been restored in the past few years. Plenty of trails to hike on in the park too.
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!
The water sprinkler should have been working today. The weather was very nice and warm. The kids would have enjoyed it
A lifeguard was harassing my brother to go to the 3 feet for no reason because my brother is gay. It doesnt matter if he is gay or not. I thought lifeguards are suppose to save you if your drowning not laugh at you just because you are something different.I think the should fire him.
Good place for walk, run or just pass a good time in peace out of house. Really beautiful views. Good persons who help you with you activities.
Super cool place i go there since 2003 n i love it! Very clean ,nice & safe for kids & families as well😍😍😍👌👍👍👍🌊🌊🤽♂️🤽♂️🏊♀️🏊♀️
Smooth ride, picturesque scene to aide your cruise or slow stroll
I love this park, nice walk/bike trail, great few from pedestrian bridge and huge pool which goes to 10 ft deep.
Fun trails for walking or biking. The now-open bridge has great views, and theres a shaded seating area and water fountain in the east side.
Very cool,, clean and nice bridge with a view over Manhattans skyline. Really awesome
The mountain bike trails are really great, especially considering theyre in NYC and I dont have to drive there
Chiodhood memories... i went for a covid test so its not the fond memories i have of this place but nevertheless the staff was very helpful.
It always a pleasure to be at the place seem I grew up in this neighborhood....all my childhood memories that comes from here its amazing.... I love it
Great big swimming pool ,as well as one for children clean fun awaits youLocker rooms available just bring your own lock.
Fantastic location in upper Manhattan to hang out with family and friends plus a huge pool with an active recreational center.
Ive been living in The Heights for 42 years and never thought that I would see The Highbridge brought back to life.
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.
Its a decent neighborhood park gets better every year good views great local food surrounding area.
Great place to just sit and gather your thoughts its also fun 😁
Is a great place to exercise, enjoy the fresh air, excellent view and spending time with family and friends. I love the highbrishe Park!
One of the best park in the Bronx , nice view, good place to work out here and also can cross to Washington heights In Manhattan....
Theres something about oar(a. Best place to be when lost. Or when you feel tired. You can really clear yourself. Your thoughts. Your insides. Totes recommend.
Big excellent pool. All communities tend to flock at this pool. Good people, large pool for a day of family and fun.
Wonderful place to breathe ans enjoy with family, picnic
I information on the ground is dope
A jewel in the Bronx, you have to visit this place. Its a pedestrian bridge/park. Connecting the Bronx and Manhattan, views to upstate and downtown Manhattan.
After all the work they have done to this park. Its become one of my favorite places to ride.
Great dirt jumps & trails
Cool park, nice bridge. But the place is on the edgy side. Should be OK for a group of 6+ physically fit people.
I like coming to this park and just relax!
Really nice and big park. Go to the pool during the summer to cool down!
I just wish the bathrooms were a little more cleaner but i cant complain muvh because it is a public bathroom.
Nice park in the city.There is courts to play sports and lots of open area with grass to walk around. One can walk the bridge.
Nice place to hang out with friends
Pretty cool way to get a different view of the city. Seems like it is easier to find parking on the Bronx side of the bridge
Nice bike path. Great views. Lots of greenery. Dominican culture. Water n bridge. Great people.
The worst park I have ever seen! Filthy! There was even a heroine spoon on top of the empty to dispenser in the restroom. Full of thugs. Not a nice place.
Nice walking path with a great view, takes you from the west Bronx over to Washington Heights 165th and Amsterdam Avenue. Great exercise!
This place is gorgeous with beautiful views. I have it 3 stars because of Dog poo everywhere
Great place for jogging
Absolutely beautiful bridge! Lovely park, lush greenery, and rock formations... plus a great pool!
The park was beautiful my 6yr old had a ball riding his skate board the problem is the entrance with all the crack head and junkies hanging out under the Walk way and tunnel and all the orange caps Left by the junkies horrible
Very relaxing place to take a long walk and enjoy nature
Great pool but does get crowded. They have a pool area for babies too!
Has the most beautiful view. Its relaxing and wonderful place have a piece of mind.
Great place to go for a walk. Full of hills and wildlife. Really nice views of the Highbridge in the Bronx.
It good to go on a walk btw it gokd yo go.on a run to and it have fun if u have bad things about this f off that it is it a good park and a good to go on a walk love it
Nice one my son likes it and even more when theres kids
Besides it is located close to the subway the neighborhood is squelchy and you must be careful, it is a good place to attend a free concert and have a picnic or go outdoor for some sport activity
The pool I went to as a child has cleaned up and got better with security, not bad for a public pool
Horrible pool. The staff rush you when they are ready to leave and force everyone to get dressed in the open area. Very disgusting. They also close the pool bathroom when the second session is up.
Its cool to hang out and bbq but unfortunately the Bathrooms are disgusting. You have to hold your breath the whole time.
Very clean and tranquil, I take my runs and walk at least 3time a week

2022-05-12There 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.

2021-10-29On 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.

2022-03-05I 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.

2021-01-06Nice 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!

2022-05-26Very neat space especially in the summer as its lively and reminiscent of a more calm peaceful time. Its a good space to just enjoy a summer day or have a stroll to experience a neighborhood
