Beautiful neighborhood park. Nice little hill to walk up. Pretty place to sit or picnic.
Hidden gem, very shady. Not as as hilly as fort Tryon but a fair share of stairs.
Peaceful majestic and good for meditation
Very quiet and serene park ideal for a small picnic, yoga or meditation session or perhaps lunch and a good book. Nestled above busy Broadway streets under lovely trees that provide shade from summer heat. Take the time to look & smell the many beautiful plants blooming in the dedicated garden and flower beds throughout. Learn a little history about the Isham family of old that the street & park is named after by reading the inscriptions on marble bench & along the park wall. Steps & hill ideal for walk exercise.Many thanks to the older European - American woman who cleaned & cared for this parks grounds pre Covid19. I believe her name is Maria or Stella & she started gardening here before NYC Parks Dept. invested the time or money to do so. Hope she is well & pics of her clean up of this park are still posted.
Beautiful lead-in to Inwood Hill Park, Isham Park has its own character. Beautiful flowers, marble slabs, and a pretty walk up the hill from Broadway. Nice to walk, lay in the sun, and rest.
Very nice park, relaxing & places to sit have something to eat & enjoy the sights.
I grew up in the city and this is where I had sanctuary from the madness of midtown and the welfare hotels I resided in as a child. It really does feel like an escape to the countryside.
Beautiful place during cherryblossom
Beautiful escape from the daily city life. Especially during this time of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Furthermore, if you happen to go on a Saturday morning or early Saturday afternoon, youre able to enjoy the weekly Farmers Market. Theres nothing like purchasing fresh fruits, Vvegetables, and a variety of other items.
The plantings at the corner Isham Avenue and Seamans block are simply spectacular
Almost fainted but still had beautiful time there 😍
I have a mixed review. I see this as my neighborhood park and it comes with the usual NYC caveats.During the summer and spring there are several events for Easter egg hunts to kids camps using the space. These are great and fairly standard for activities.There is an amazing group of neighbors dedicated to caring for the park. They weed, plant, and clean on a regular basis. One woman can be seen almost daily, managing the planted beds. Kids play and older folks sun themselves on benches.The downside to this park is the rat infestation near the subway entrance. While there have been traps out for a while the rats seem wise to our human antics. At the same time the creatures are unfortunately heaven and I have had the misfortune of exclaiming in a higher octave than is my norm after having a beast run into my leg.
Gorgeous neighborhood park. Not very crowded, peaceful, perfect for meeting up with friends or for relaxing in solitude!
I live right next to the park. It is a beautiful place; lots of community; and an open feel. I love to go out into the mountains and relax.
Nice quiet park... plenty of kids running around... but is is not a playground... more like parents on benches watching them play.
This place is peaceful and great to do BBQs. In the summer you can enjoy walks in the park and enjoy sitting down on benches and big rocks. There is a field where you can lay down at or sit up against a tree. Its nice all year round honestly. There are benches with engravings on them too! Its an eye catcher.
Beautiful! Spring gives the color!
Very lovely park.
Grew up here. Its home and a great area
A small, well maintained, pretty park on top of a hill. On a nice day it can be a great place to hang out with family or friends and people watch. Some views of the George Washington Bridge in the winter and early Spring when leaves are gone from trees.
This park is a great place. Its huge, nice and quiet. I come here about every night to clear my mind and relaxe while strolling along the river. You have to sometimes becareful at night thought because some of the trails become flooded because of the river or rain. And during the winter it freezes and becomes icey. Also another thing you need to watch out for at night is the skunks and racoons. They go through the trash. All in all I think this place is neat.
Very nice and pretty to walk on. There is an area for dogs and like watching the dogs. Over all nice park.
Its like Im deep in the woods. Great retreat from the city. I think Ill be back many times over.
I lived in Inwood near Isham Park the past 30 years its always a pleasure to relax in this part
I walk by this park every day. Its one of the things that make me very happy seeing the beautiful overhang of the trees over the street. A mixture of art and nature that is unexpected for NYC.
Awesome park with nice paths in northern Manhattan. It was a great walk.
Nice park with tennis courts. Worth checking out even if just as as entry way to to the larger Inwood Hill Park that connects to its west side.
Beautiful park next to a beautiful award winning garden. Sits atop of one Inwood highest points for a nice vantage of Inwood and even some parts of the Bronx across the Harlem River. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the outside.
I love this park during three seasons of the year. Summertime bring out the nosie people. Families picnicking and kids having fun are over run by it. Otherwise, lovely.
We love our park. Its a peaceful safe place for our children to play ❤
It I see a huge park with an awesome view, you can get a good view of the Hollywood sign and get a wonderful pictures, the Parkin could be challenging. I recommend going at night, the view is fantastic at night
A beautiful, beautiful space —one of the nicest naturally formed parks in the city.
Beautiful park at the northern end of Manhattan. After walking & trekking all day, eat & drink at lots of restaurants in the area.
Quaint and charming neighborhood green space. Isham Park seems an extension of the nearby Inwood Hill Park and overlooks the weekly farmers market. This is a great place to sit down and relax.
Love this park very beautiful pass through here on my way to Broadway. One of those parts of New York I can never walk through without stopping and soaking up the great environment.
This is the park next to Broadway, and has steps that will get you exercised. Nice gardens. Nice lawn. Quiet. I really appreciate having this park here.
Nice and quiet...
I walk through this park mostly everyday. Nice for walking and enjoying a jog.
Really nice and family friendly place to hangout in inwood
It resembles Central Park in places but also has paths through secluded woods and beautiful lookout points. Does NOT have the Central Park crowds
Mystical and rich in history. Going right to the beginning of time.
A large park, very family friendly for picnics. Has a dog run and borders a forest to hike through.
Isham Park is an extension of Inwood Hill Park, with ornamental trees, particularly appealing in spring, a good Hill for sledding in season, and extensive areas for picnicking.Restrooms are available in nearby Inwood Hill Park, at the top of Isham St.
Winner of Annual Inwood Pumpkin Pageant 2018.
Beautiful park in the northwestern part of Inwood with great views.
This park was literally my whole child hood Id go here every day after school with my friends. I still go there and was actually there today
This is just a great quiet park made for a long nap on a blanket or where picnics or BBQs are perfect.
Just awesome!👌
One of my favorite parks in the area, and worth the steep stairs involved. I might be biased because I did get married here.
Theres a farmers market on Saturday. Theres always people about enjoying the park.
Beautiful park so fortunate to have it. Its beautiful in all seasons.
Its peaceful & tranquil environment. Nice place to relax and enjoy the sun!!☉☉
Beautiful hilltop park.
Very nice walk lots of trees lots of open spaces great views of the city
Quiet! No kids smoking hookah! Only a few adults smoking weed! Quality nyc park.
Isham Park is beautiful. Most of my visits to the park are walk throughs to the subway.
Its great and laid back.The only issue is that the raccoons and skunks come out night
Visited the farmers market thats open on Saturday...its decent, but its not on the same level as the farmers market that is located at Union Square & Gramd Army Plaza.
Amazing park
Its always a pleasure to walk through Islam Park on my way to the 207th St A train station.
Hilly park with some hidden areas. Very relaxing and quiet.

Best & friendliest neighborhood park for families!

Beautiful family place ❤

Good morning to all my friends.Practicing my Russian and sharing my beautiful park with the world.
Very good, it has a natural landscape in which you can be alone, as a couple or in a group, feel the fresh air, you see the people pass the children playing the animals also enjoying themselves in a big way
Beautiful place but this year I had a bad experience my husband bit the poison ivy and he was very serious they should put up a sign
Very nice, quiet and cool, ideal to go with the children and watch them enjoy
Very well
Beautifully very, relatively small park, near a playground. You can have a good rest ..
Beautiful park to walk and take your pet. They even have a place just for dogs to run loose.
Simply because I really like nature and it is a very quiet and relaxed place.
I go to meditate and good fresh air, a perfect environment to have a good family time.
Beautiful recreational park and on etodo for the puppies.

Review №1
2022-05-10After school times are a great way to enjoy seeing your kids play with their friends. The ambience is youthful and reminiscent of my youth. Seeing kids interact and parents be more engaging with their children is so encouraging. I like that this park has different settings so kids can be at a jungle gym, or a sand area, or swings with a view of teams playing baseball in walking distance of the river and eating/drinking establishments. Definitely recommend 9/10

2022-07-02Despite the hills and the steps its a nice little park to get some work done and relax when the weather is warm.

2022-06-10Neat little park to unwind and capture a bit of natural beauty. Dont forget to look for the Durst mansion just steps away...
Review №4
2018-07-03Nice clean small park. Walking paths all throughout the park, a nice open lawn area. Good for picnics or just enjoying the breeze on a summer day sitting on the benches
Review №5
2019-04-12Beautiful hilly park situated in Inwood in northern Manhattan between Seaman Ave and Broadway. This park has lots of steps you need to ascend but it has some nice views of the neighborhood. Plenty of benches along the way to take a breather. At the top is a great place to walk your dog or push the baby in the stroller. This was the park my mother brought us to as small children. We used to climb the rock over by the tree. It was like a mountain to us! Lots of foliage and a small community garden on the egde of the park.

Review №8
2021-04-21The park is one of my favorite places. It has baseball fields that have children playing little league on the weekends, basketball courts, etc. There are paths that break off and go into the nature and make you feel a little more alone on some of those paths. Its at the tip top of the city where the waterways join together. Well maintained and there are bathrooms by all the courts/fields.
