Great visit to the Gardens…read more Known of them for a while now but finally made the 25-minute journey on a late Sunday morning. The free gardens are open to the public on the weekends, from 10am - 4pm during the mid-spring through early-fall months. (April - November) I followed the general directions to the front gate where I was greeted by a staff member who took my name, phone number and directed me to the visitor's parking lot. Once parked in the designated visitor's lot, there is a visitor's information window as well as bathrooms there. From there, you can start your walk throughout the gardens at your own pace. There are lots of sculptures and scenic paths to explore. Particularly lovely during the fall months. I took about 1.5 hours to cover the entire gardens. All staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

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.

It's in front of a development that was Edge on the Hudson before there was Edge on the Hudson (so much for the hype there). Views of the Tappan Zee bridge and Hudson River are unavoidable which is a very good thing. Decent amount of walking paths and benches, in addition to the dedicated picnic area. Plenty of parking although it is paid via the Tarrytown parking app. Playgrounds are a bit dated but in great shape. Everything has soft, spongy ground around it. Good variety for different ages too. Haven't done the splash pad yet because it's winter but it is pretty sizable. Good amount of kids around here without it being overwhelming. Maybe not the most built up park in the area, but my toddler loves it and so do I.

Admission is Free but there is a cost for parking Our Experience: we enjoyed spending the afternoon outside on this gorgeous spring day walking along the river walk and playing on the playground. The walk was absolutely stunning and the boys enjoyed walking along the path, exploring the lookout area, seeing the boats in the water and the airplanes/helicopters in the sky. Hands down my favorite part of the day. The playground was adorable with two separate sections designed for kids of all ages. While the equipment was a bit outdated, I loved that it had that soft type ground underneath it to (sort of) pad a fall. Both boys really enjoyed their time there. There is a covered picnic area so feel free to bring food and drinks! There is also a restaurant right there in the park as well as walkable restaurants in the downtown area conveneintly located close by. It was a gorgeous spring day and there were ZERO crowds with only a handful of people walking the path and only one other family on the playground. I was shocked at how quiet it was but thrilled to have the place basically to ourselves. Will go back?: Absolutely YES! CJ keeps asking to go back to "look for sharks in the water" ( lol) and to "play on the red playground" Pro Tip: it is WINDY by the water so whatever the temperature is outside, subtract a few degrees or add a jacket when planning how to dress for the day. #tristatemama #tristatearea #momlife #motherhood #kid #instagood #momsofinstagram #parenting #momblogger #momreviews #familyfun #makingmemories #nature #hudsonriver #1000hoursoutside #westchestercountyny #playgrounds #tarrytownny #nyplayground #strollerfriendly

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 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)

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.
