    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.

    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.
