    Christmas Eve 2020 Sunrise

    Another serene outlet for me. Out of all of the parks I've visited thus far, Five Islands Park makes me the happiest. The park is surrounded by water and includes walking trails, picnic areas, a small children's playground and a Gazebo overlooking the water. FIP used to have a decent sized beach area, possibly man made, but has since washed away. During the Summer months group and individual Kayaking/Paddle Boarding lessons were offered. Unsure if these activities are still available due to the recent pandemic. There are plenty of benches scattered around to allow you to get lost in your thoughts while being one with nature. I enjoy the stillness and calm of the trees, I delight in watching the different species of birds while they flock together in flight or seamlessly paddle through the waters. I appreciate the playful antics of the squirrels scurrying about and most of all the tranquil, sun shimmering waters. FIP provides all these things and gives me that serenity I crave and if willing can do the same for you too. Covid 2020 TIP: Spring/Summer 2020, only New Roc residents were allowed entry to minimize occupancy.

    This is a decent park if you are a resident of New Rochelle. It is not that big but there is good scenery with views of the water. There was a small area to BBQ and also a small area with sand, though I would not really call it a beach. It is a quiet and peaceful park, but not worth going out of your way to visit if you are not from the city.

    This place was fun! There is a running/walking trail and lots of benches where you can sit and relax. The views are great, too! I'd definitely come back to walk here again. It was very relaxing. There were lots of kids here though. And the park doesn't allow dogs but almost everyone had one.

    7th September 2026 Untermyer Gardens…read moreYonkers, NY Very Sunny 72°F Did you know that in 1913 Samuel Untermyer hired William Bosworth who was the same designer of Kykuit, the Rockefeller estate in Pocantico, to design the "finest garden in the world"? His vision was of a theatrical, magnificent landscape blending Indo-Persian, ancient Greek, Roman, and Italian Renaissance designs. When I was last here in 2013, the Untermyer gardens looked sadly desolate and neglected. Today, the gardens have been restored to their true remarkable glory thanks 100% to generous donations in the millions. We could not have chosen a more perfect day to visit the celebrated historical Untermyer Gardens overlooking the Hudson on this glorious Labor Day Monday. I took many photos which do not do justice to the gorgeous scope and details of the beautiful manicured 43 acres. ***Open 7AM to 7PM - seasonally.*** There's more information on their website and QR codes at the entrance with rules to respect the environment. Good job! **Get there early.** We went at 8:30AM. By the time we were leaving at 11AM the park was packed and parking impossible. Thank you so much for reading.

    Untermyer Gardens is one of the most beautiful hidden gems in the New York area. The grounds are…read morealways stunning, but they're especially spectacular in September when everything is in full bloom and the gardens are filled with vibrant colors. Admission is completely free, although donations are accepted to help preserve this incredible place--which is amazing considering how well maintained it is. It's the perfect destination to spend about two hours, whether you want to enjoy a peaceful stroll, take plenty of photos, or do a little of both. The breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the Palisades make the visit even more memorable. There's also plenty of free parking, which makes getting there easy. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that it can get fairly crowded on beautiful weekends, but it's absolutely worth visiting and returning to throughout the year.

    Tibbetts Brooks Park is a nice park in Yonkers that features a few streams, walking trails and a…read moregreat bathhouse; though, I did not swim on this occasion. My church held its annual family day cookout on a beautiful Saturday morning and afternoon. The park ingress and egress demand good bus drivers at a few tight corners within and just outside the park. Tibbetts has plenty of parking to accommodate a large number of visitors and the bathhouse is as much a draw as the rest of the park. The pool features a few sections with different tiers outside the pool for lounging and families gathering. It's not all concrete, rather many of the lounge areas are covered in AstroTurf, which makes for a more relaxed and comfortable surface upon which to lay towels and blankets. The restrooms are kept clean, but they have a rather heavy duty check-in for access to the bathhouse. They are controlled by park employees and park police. The pool access fee is $12pp for non-Yonkers residents, even if you think you have a different understanding for group access. Many of our church members were turned away, unless they paid the individual fee. The park employees regularly removed the trash in the vicinity of our family day outing and wherever other groups gathered. They are setup well to handle large groups at Tibbetts Brooks Park. 3.8 stars!

    Love to walk the trails in this park very picturesque and I feel very safe while doing so. I also…read morebring my pets for walks and they really enjoy the watching the ducks on the pond watching the squirrels and chipmunks play. Great selection of birds for bird watching.
