Leonard Park is a great place to visit Mt. Kisco. It offers a lot in a nice, ample space…read more I made this stop on a weekday afternoon with a friend who showed me around, specifically the trails in the woods. They're easy to walk and follow, with some viewpoints. However, due to the many leaves, most views aren't the greatest. Even though that's the case, it's still worth checking out the trail. Many other alternatives exist, including basketball, baseball, tennis, a playground, and the Tea House lodge, which the park recreation can be reached out to for events. I'm thrilled with the options offered. For the community and beyond, this is a beautiful park to visit.

Gorgeous, local, little park right in Mt Kisco!…read more Came for a nice evening stroll after sunset and it was just so beautiful filled with a few golden hour peek-a-boos through the trees and so many canadian geese! This little park is a Mt Kisco resident location but we were somehow able to sneak in without a problem. There's plenty of benches, picnic tables, a pond with a pretty fountain, basketball courts, baseball fields, walking trails, you have it all! They even have wood available for fire pits. Dogs are welcome on a leash! It's an easy little park to get some nature time and fresh air in. A park for inspiration

I've also gotten to enjoy the playground as a kid with my parents and younger cousins and enjoying the view of the pond. I loved spending the day at the pool the other day. The weather was great, and I even got the chance to enjoy the snack bar, even though I got Taki dust in my eye. That hurt. The pool has always been a peaceful place, and I was even asked if I would like to try out for the local swim team a while back because the swim coach just happened to be there on the same day. Going to this park has always been one of the best highlights of Bedford Hills for me.

Bedford Park...how my boys & I love you…read more We love that you have baby swings and big kid swings. We love that you have 3 different jungle gyms for different age levels. We love your (meticulously maintained) basketball court. We love your sweet little pondside location. We love that you're located right near the Metro North railway so we can watch trains go by and wave. Son #1 is in heaven when that happens. We love that we can all run around in the grass and not have to worry about stepping in geese poopie. Seriously -- high fives on that one. In short, we love you so, Bedford Park. You've got everything in one sweet little kiddie oasis. You make my little men shriek with delight...and who am I kidding..me too! :o)

This was the perfect peaceful place to park ourselves after we'd gotten some pastries and Gelato. I'm not sure if there's another entrance to this park, but the main entrance features a nice sized parking lot, picnic tables, small boat rental area and the dock to the pond. Don't be fooled by the pond- you can't take the plunge as there's no swimming allowed- plus it's filled with lily pads and other plant life. Boat rentals only take place Saturdays and Sundays for a small fee and a Westchester County Park Pass isn't required to enter. For boat rental however, you do get a leg up on savings with your pass. Any other info, check online. We claimed a picnic table to enjoy our pastries and played cards under the teees. This was a nice spot to wind down- just be sure to respect Nature and the area where you are and keep it clean.

This is a neat park, tucked away into the back hills of the Mt Kisco area. We decided to go here…read morefor a nice little walk with some geocaching, and got here on a nice early spring day. It's got this really spooky, abandoned vibe. If someone were filming a post apocalyptic farm scene, or a creepy spooky movie, this would be a good place to do it. We didn't see anyone else while we were there. The mansion looked slightly decrepit, and everything had a shabby, timeworn look. There's a really decent set of trails that wind throughout the property, but they're not blazed very well, or at all really. It's mostly a matter of keeping to the map and wandering around the wide trails. My biggest complaint is the mixed messages on the allowance of dogs. The webpage says that dogs are welcomed, on leash. Once you get there, there are signs that say dogs aren't allowed. It would be nice if the parks department could get their messaging straight on that.

We had a tour…read morewith 1 other couple, so it's not a popular location and it probably gets less funding as a State Park site vs. National Park Site so as far as a historical house goes it's not the most intriguing or lavish, but it's nice if you are in the area. It's not as impressive as say Monticello and not as popular and informative as FDR's house not to far away, but it has its charm. Being hidden away can be an asset, as when you are at the house, it's far up the hill from the road and really quiet, so you can get a good sense of what Mr. Jay would have enjoyed in his retirement. You can feel the peacefulness and why he'd choose to live here after living in Manhattan. The tour is about an hour and there was a farmer's market set up in the adjacent lot, but otherwise there isn't a lot to see/do nearby. Still, it's worth seeing if it's not too far from you or if you have other things in the area to see.
