This tiny little slice of a park is probably overshadowed by it's flashier sibling up above, but…read morethe Upper Landing Park is still quite charming all on its own. It's nice and clean and looks like it was recently built. It sits at the base of the elevator up to the Walkway over the Hudson, but it is also a nice place to just chill and relax, watching the river go by. My only quibble with the park is that it could use some wider paths to accommodate cyclists, and it could use some sort of signage to point people towards the Roosevelt Bridge. We had to consult our own maps to figure it out. It's not a destination park, but it's really a nice place to stop at if you're in the area.

Driving…read morein leads to many things to do, a playground for the kids, and two big fields with one providing a baseball and soccer field. Picnic tables are scattered throughout the park along with pavilions. The pavilions are in great shape and in use. Bathrooms are provided in the main building. Also, be on the lookout for upcoming mini concerts, which are performed on the hilly field just as you enter. There are a total of six trails that are assigned a color, starting at one point and ending at a different location (with some reconnecting with the same path), except the blue trail, which does a loop, and also the Wappingers Greenway Trail, which passes through. I've enjoyed exploring, with decent views and scenery. The intersections of different paths need to be marked clearly, and instead, the sign is further in. Reading the map is key to not getting lost, which Bowdoin Park provides. There's a lot to offer for all ages, and it's a destination anyone won't regret along the Hudson River with a touch of nature.

Parking at the Macks Lane end can be challenging depending on the time of day, with a couple of spots and enough room to park on the side. There's enough room while getting out, and plenty of space to move around while getting to the trail. At the Johnson-Iorio Memorial Park end, there are plenty of spots to park at. Depending on your direction, the trail has an uphill/downhill gradient along the way. It's a workout for sure when going uphill. It's very easy to trip with so many rocks and tree roots on the ground, so please take caution. The trail is well indicated by its color and is shown on the tree barks hung up. Of course, the maps are provided at each trailhead for convenience. UPDATE: The white trail which I recently took is a cool trail, doing a loop that connects with the yellow in a different spot not too far from that starting point. It is steep in this section, which requires small steps along the way. There is also a shortcut to cut over to the other side to make it shorter (don't recommend it). Also, on the way, there are ruins, which were once a big Mansion that was abandoned in 1949, with unknown information on how it got destroyed. Pretty cool history. When in doubt, take a rest, it's needed.

Don't think that a small number of Yelp reviews means this place is a hidden gem, just about every available parking spot was taken today, including the 10 special parking spots closer to the water. The occasional sounds of passing trains, boats on the river, and a jet going to/from Stewart Airport add to the ambiance. From the regular parking lot, it's a 2-3 minute walk, under the tracks, to the park proper. There's plenty of chairs, picnic tables, and grills. There's a well-maintained restroom facility (masks currently required) as well as a porta-potty in the back parking lot. Closing times are based on sunset, so plan an evening visit accordingly.

Coming into Milton Landing Park is quick scenic and easy to find, with two being a pro. There's a decent amount of parking, but enough to fill some in. The best part about it is, that there's plenty of space to move around as a pedestrian. Across the railroad tracks is a field of grass to explore with benches and also two docks to walk up onto the Hudson River. Be careful of the winds, especially when wearing any head gears. On the parking lot side, there is a building that was once a train station and remains still to this day. Near it, there are three panic tables to sit at an old train track to walk on, and a building that cuts the track off. It's a wonderful place to kill time and watch some freight trains come by with a ding sound at the crossing, instead of a gate.

There's plenty of parking space to fill each row while providing enough room. It's pretty easy to pessimistic in the lot which shouldn't lead to chaos. Depending on the time of day will determine how crowded it will be. Something that caught my eye was I did not see a map of the park, which is a big turnoff. Finding my way to the path was not hard, thanks to having a color assigned to the trail. One trail leading toward the east will come out to the Wappingers Creek, with it branching to another trail heading south and the other north. The trail running parallel will lead to a dead end. The other park seen is the Wappinger Creek Greenway Trail across the creek. The other trail toward the beginning goes uphill towards the Eastdale apartment buildings. Another trail just before the branch contains a loop trail. There's a total of three trails, green (the main), yellow, and red. Some of the trails have grass in the way. Awesome park and trail, but please provide a map at the physical site to up my rate.
