They have this long, caterpillar thingy that the kids can crawl through, many swings and slides, climbers and more! The kiddies love it here and I have enough viewing space to keep my eye on them. The park was formerly known as Macombs Park since it is on the corner of Macombs and 176th but last year they re-named it to Galileo after they expanded and remodeled a bit more. Can't wait til the summer when they turn the sprinklers on through the statues and clean it up much better. A great park for kids/ families.

It has two major playgrounds. One located on the entrance of E Tremont and another one all the way to the back of the park which then includes swings and monkey bars. This park is a great place to read a newspaper and just relax or bring the family out and create a good cookout. The kiddies get so excited when I bring them here and this park is truly beautiful to me. Much seating areas, some chess tables and somewhat of a dog park on the other side to walk your dogs peacefully and not alarm kids and parents near the playgrounds. I HIGHLY recommend this park for all and any activities

You can consider yourself a true basketball fan without checking out a street basketball game here…read moreat least once in your life! I've been here a few times all the way from Brooklyn to check out some competitive basketball games. It's important to check the schedule on Instagram prior to coming. You want to make sure you're away from what time the game starts, who will be playing, and if the game is canceled or postponed due to inclement weather. It's always a party and pure entertainment when I come here. There's a DJ on set playing the great music, celebrities often show up to the game(s) depending on who's playing, and the commentary during the game is hilarious. Without question I'll return here to see some more basketball games during the summer. My advice is to arrive two hours before gametime.

So we took a stroll through the colorful washington heights area. Pro: The game was full of passionate on lookers. The game ended with a player kicking the ball over the next door roof, of what looks like a factory high building. Cons: Some on lookers may not be in the best of moods after a loss. So there is a tense energy in the air. And the dark shadows of the overhead subway tracks may lead to some misbehaving' Overall: I would go back!

Rockefeller, Jr. began acquiring private parcels in 1917 as part of his vision of developing a beautiful park with majestic views of the Hudson River and Palisades for the public. Rockefeller gifted the land to the City of New York in 1931, and construction began soon after. The park is about 70 acres in area. Decades after its creation, park goers can run or walk on the park's 8 miles of pathways, play on the lawns, and enjoy the city's largest garden with unrestricted public access, the Heather Garden. We saw tons of nice flower beds and blooming plants. Fort Tryon Park is home to the Cloisters (separate Yelp review), a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art that houses nearly 5,000 medieval works in a building comprised of several structures from Europe. Fort Tryon Park is home to Manhattan's largest dog run, complete with a gazebo for dog owners to sit and socialize, as well as two playgrounds, volleyball courts, and built-in ping pong tables.

I would say if you keep walking down to Bronx park east there is another field with lots of space to walk around for larger dogs or even small dogs. There is a baseball field but it's a wide large park.
