Im a photographer and i must say this park was awsome. Apart from the relaxing view by the water you get an amazing view of the gw bridge and a beautiful citiscape view across the water plenty of open space to bbq run ride bike etc. There’s also basketball and tennis courts but the star of the show to me was the beautiful little red lighthouse beneath the bridge for everyday recreation this spot is great but for photographers it’s a hidden gem.

Cute little light house. Loved reading about how a child’s book in the ‘50s (?) helped saved it from being dismantled.I didn’t stay long. Was on my way across the GWB for the first time on bicycle.If you’re in the vicinity of the red lighthouse, check out the stacked rocks. They’re cool.

If youre an out of town fan of the book, The Little Red Lighthouse and the Big Gray Bridge you should note that its not the most convenient location to get to.That said, its a wonderful and charming spot if you plan for it. Dont forget to take a stroll south to view the mysterious stone cairns along the water. It will make your visit more magical.

I have driven by and over this hundreds of times but finally found the time to visit it. Its a 20 minute walk from the nearest subway stop(181st ) and worth visiting. I first remember the story The Little Red Lighthouse And The Great Grey Bridge being read on Captain Kangaroo in the early 60:s. Its a nice area with picnic tables and trees near the lighthouse at the base of the east tower of the George Washington Bridge. You must walk/bike there as there is no way to drive. Check Google maps for walking directions to get over/under Riverside Drive. Its all downhill to the lighthouse and uphill all the way back.

Beautiful riverside park with The Little Red Lighthouse there, waiting for visitors. George Washington bridge is above the river.

Cool feature underneath the George Washington Bridge. Learned a bit of history on the signs which was quite interesting!

A bit of a walk but if you can make it youre in for a unique sweeping view of the city skyline at the waters edge.There are picnic tables there but keep in mind its right across from an active worksite for the GWB.

Ive visited by land and sea (errr, river), summer, fall and winter. The lighthouse and bridge are quintessential NYC. And one of those rare spots in the city more resident than tourist.
