elizabeth reeseSeptember 11, 2016don't miss the gardens overlooking the hudson just off the circle drive near the park entrance closest to the 190th a-train upper level stop! they're beautiful! easily my favorite park in the city.
Time Out New YorkJune 13, 2013Spanning 65 acres and teeming with gardens, grassy alcoves and trails perfect for mini hikes, this park feels a world away from Manhattan’s hustle. Save an afternoon or an entire day for your visit. Read more
Avneesh KohliNovember 4, 2018Amazing spot for some scenic views. Especially pretty during autumn, where you’ll get lots of fall colors. Great photography spots all throughout the park.Upvoted Mar 9
The Corcoran GroupJune 4, 2013Take a hike! Up to the dog run at Fort Tryon Park that is. Socialize with other dog owners under the gazebo. Dogs can be separated by size in this 2 park run, complete with views of the Hudson River.- David DerrickAugust 15, 2014A quiet relaxing break from hustle, bustle, and noise of the city. Purposefully get lost on the myriad trails or wander through the flower gardens. Absolutely must visit the peaceful cloisters!
Get ready for some hills and beautiful walking paths. This is one of my favorite spots in NYC with great views of the Hudson and northeastern side of Manhattan.
Sarah KimDecember 26, 2019Lots of walking required. If you plan on meeting ppl or a group here, meet outside first & then work your way in together b/c it’s almost impossible to find each other once you’re already inside.
Tania PlateroJuly 12, 2017One of the most beautiful parks in the city! And The Cloisters makes it even better!
Richard RevillaNovember 11, 2019Great city park to really get away from it all. You'll find Heather Garden here and the Cloisters.
Angel Hana A.February 4, 2013The park was built by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., son of the architect of Central Park, in 1935, and gifted to the city of New York by John D. Rockefeller.
Drew HoltwickDecember 15, 2015Yeah, it's way out of the way. But it's worth the trek.. Get lost in the gardens. Sit and watch the river flow. Peak into The Cloisters while you're there.- Time Out New YorkOctober 31, 2011The best place to forget that you’re in NYC is crammed with gardens, forests and other quiet nooks that are perfect for chilling out. No visit here is complete without a stop by the Cloisters. Read more
Adena BrenowitzJuly 22, 2018Beautiful at sunset. Can see the GWB from the park. Lots of benches, green patches to have a picnic and walking trails.
Nicole Sikora HeschongSeptember 20, 2014Relaxing park with water views that is an easy walk from the 190 St stop on the A line. Significant landscaping, stone work, old trees. The Cloisters can be found here too.
Tom PaulJuly 15, 2011This is a stunning park, and we have Bette Midler to thank for it! I think it is the best park in New York City, in my opinion. I feel lucky to live do close by...Such a treasure!
Afi Yellow-DukeJune 23, 2015An oasis that's way uptown. Central Park : the Upper West and East sides as Fort Tryon Park : Washington Heights, Hudson Heights, and Inwood.
Amazing views! Lots of grass to lounge on. The Cloisters are amazing, of course. It's definitely a less crowded NYC park.- The Corcoran GroupJanuary 6, 2012If you need a break from the city, you don’t need to go far. Visit this immaculate park with a date and a bottle of wine (hush hush)…its romantic and inspiring.
Psychedelic MessJune 16, 2015the scenery is great to take a stroll with a friend or loved one. I love that it feels like a hidden gem in the heights.
Dave GillAugust 15, 2015One of NYC's best kept secrets. Great views of the Hudson Ricer and the Palisades!
- Tiffany & CoJune 1, 2011A verdant yet hidden gem set high in Manhattan’s crown. Don’t miss the Cloisters, the Metropolitan Museum’s medieval branch, and the spectacular views from Linden Terrace and the Heather Garden.
Diego RufoApril 4, 2011It feels like you're not in NYC anymore at this park with its sweeping vistas of the Hudson River and the cliffs of NJ. And if you're in NY during The Fall Medieval Festival you have to go! Read more
LittleLs Dog TreatsJanuary 1, 2016One of the best places in Manhattan to spend time with your dog! Run down the paths, sniff the flowers, take amazing photos.
Roger SchonfeldAugust 10, 2014Great views of the Hudson and Palisades. Nice picnicking before/after the Cloisters. Take the M4.
James Ryan SloanMay 12, 2011Great place for paved and unpaved running. Easy to get lost. Have never felt more safe though. Beautiful sunsets. great place to toss a ball around.

Gari FernandezMay 20, 2016I grew up around it. Has been and will be my favorite park in Washington Heights.

Darshy NFebruary 23, 2015Beautiful Park for dog runs, 🐶 🏃 exploring nature and taking in scenic views.
Andrew McDanielApril 2, 2011Bring a bike. Ride from the street level at the bottom all the way to the flag pole at the very top without walking. Reflect on how awesome you are.
Coleman BellOctober 10, 2021Love the heather garden, gazebo, and the cloisters-watch out for skunks!
Bum Bum JonesJuly 24, 2013If you are looking for a Romantic Place to propose marriage or just to declare your love, Fort Tryon Park is the place to go.
CristinaApril 26, 2013Adjacent to the Cloisters in upper Manhattan. Lovely views of the Hudson River.- Anita SquiresMay 18, 2014If you are looking for the toilets they are next to the car park under the cafe. They aren't sign posted very well.
Dylan McKenzieDecember 14, 2013Visit the Cloisters too. I think there are some cool old chess pieces on display here still.
