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

The park is large with lots of benches and space to sit or lay right on the water. There is lots of shade; there are many, many trees here. There is a new basketball court, flowers, benches, places to play and lay in the grass, etc. I love this place! It was quiet and refreshing. I would most definitely come back here!

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.

My home away from home! My family and I have been coming here since before I was born…read more To add a little context to that, I am a Freemason in the state of NY. So was my maternal grandfather. We are both a part of Lessing Lodge 608, which is a member of an umbrella organization that owns the park and the now defunct nursing home across the street. So I may be a little biased when reviewing this place. Across the street was a nursing home for many years, then it was a college dorm, now sadly its falling apart. So this review will be for the active park side. During the winter months, this park is closed, but come late spring to warmish fall, this place is hopping! It gets rented out most weekends to anyone looking to use the park. The park itself hosts its annual Traubenfest the first weekend every Oktober. The individual lodges that make up the umbrella organization "own" the little booths/pavilions scattered throughout. They are responsible for the maintenance of them. All in all a very unique location! It is a great spot to have a large picnic or party with thousands of people.

This is a great event filled with German cuisine (bratwurst, potato pancakes, etc.,) and let's not forget tons of beer. Beers are typically about $6 per cup (about 12 ounces) but you can bring your own been stein and they'll fill it to the brim for a slightly higher cost. There is no exchange of money with the vendors at this event - you have to purchase tickets at the entryway which double as cash. The cool thing is that if you under-spend, you can get your money back. The local police do a nice job of facilitating the parking situation and everyone is in a genuinely good mood. There is dancing and entertainment for the adults, with a bouncy house and blow-up slide for the kiddies (not free of charge...my friend learned that the hard way...her son owned the ticket lady about $10 for repeated slide rides). Ooooh...he was fresh! Too bad they don't do this every weekend in the fall.

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.
