A lovely walk for a nice day…read more.. I've known of the pier for the last few years, but it wasn't until recently that I made the trip there. I went earlier on a Sunday early afternoon and the town was already busy. Lots of people enoying some outdoor dining. There is also a Green Market there on select weekend mornings which seemed nice. There are a few areas to park, but the regulation sigsn threw me off...I ended up parking in a lot marked Parking Lot D where there were no signs. You can use the address of "100 Gair Street" if you plan on visiting via GPS. I also noticed people parking and headed toward the pier, which was when I fingured parking there would be safe. I believe there are a few spots closer to the Pier path but those were marked "Reserved" From parking lot D to the tip of the pier is about a mile, so be sure to have comfortable shoes on. The first half of the walk is a wide paved path through tall grass on the right and apartments/housing to the left. The second half offers some lovely views of the Hudson river and Tappan Zee bridge. The paved pier was large but no fisherman there that day. A lot of people walking, jogging, runnng and biking though...the 2-mile trek (back and forth) is perfect for all of these activities. There are lots of benches all along the path to sit, relax and take in the views. There is a building toward the end of the pier, which looks sort of like a museum with information on the outside walls, but the doors were closed at the time. Overall it was a lovely visit. A half day may include visiting the green market, visiting the pier and maybe even grabbing a bite in town.

Finally made it to this peaceful, beautiful park in the middle of the Hudson River.

Picturesque river views on both side, with lots of trees, wildlife and waterfront views. There are lots of benches, ample parking and rest room at the end of the mile stretch. This park is perfect for quiet walks, bird watching, walking your dogs or just to spend time in nature. I highly recommend a visit if you are around the area

Its a nicely groomed area with a small boardwalk covering the hundred plus feet of northeast facing riverfront. The park is planted with a few shade trees, a nice garden and outfitted with benches to sit and relax. From the Villages web site: "Frank Parelli Park - This park is located at the site of the former Mill beach and is named after a long time resident and 1st President of the Piermont Lions Club Frank Parelli. This park facing the Hudson River has a small boardwalk with benches and is used by both Village residents and our visitors."

It's about 2-3 miles total to loop around via long trail. There's lots to do here too. Miniature golf. Pool. Picnic and more. If you want to spend an awesome day in nature Definately give this place a try. Parking is $8. The pool is $20 for the whole day but you cant bring food inside. They do have plenty of food for sale tho.

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.

Lots of spots for kayaking, including a place you can rent from when the weather is nice. Path through the woods along the water is great for walkers, runners and bikers. Could also do the other path that heads closer to town/houses. Not too uncommon to see wildlife either (ie: deer, geese, turtles). They also have ice skating in winter when the lakes freeze over. Parking is pretty easy and in a few spots. As other notes, no bathroom here which is the biggest issue. Otherwise with how accessible this is, it's a gem.
