    I didn't know about this park until I did an online search, well, it's nice. For history and/or…read moretrain enthusiasts, even more fun. The parking lot is big enough to fill cars in. When we went, it was relatively quiet. There is a playground, benches, and my favorite, a pavilion. There is also a hill featuring steps that leads to the top with a view along with a panic table. During the visit, you may ask, "what's that building?" In the early days, this parking lot was used for the old Hyde Park Train Station, (1851-1981) once owned by New York Central Railroad. You can also enter the building on certain days. Since Amtrak and CSX are routed through here, expect to do some waiting for trains to come by. With that, looking at the river and walking around is a great way to kill time. The Hyde Park Trail also cuts through this park with the map showing it, which is a long trail covering different parks and trails.

    Not much to see here, except for the fact that there is a scenic overlook most people probably…read moreignore. I went into the area under the awning using the stairs then came down using the handicapped ramp and towards the end slipped and fell (on my but and non-driving leg. But yes, I'll be fine.) Otherwise, there was no one to look in after this place and the place was deserted. I saw some benches and tables as well as swing sets for both adults and children, but nobody was around to talk to. There was only one other car in the parking lot but even then they left after the Amtrak train (which has a secluded line) came through.

Only complaint is that I am in a wheelchair and the ramp going in was not cleared wide enough of the snow and the one part was ice.

    What a wonderful children's museum! With many hands-on exhibits and a pretend-play town. Located on…read morethe Poughkeepsie waterfront, it was a great stop for us to cool down and for my kiddo to take a fun break after we did Walkway Over the Hudson. There are two levels: the first floor is geared more toward younger kids and has several play areas including a fire station/fire truck with dress-up costumes, play-pretend market and cafe, a maker studio, a play room with a train track, foam blocks and some structures, and a couple of other exhibits. The second floor is suitable for both younger and older kids and is STEM focused, with exhibits that demonstrate scientific principles in a fun and educational way. My toddler was so excited to explore everything and could have spent hours in here. I'd say it's best suited for kids under 10. The website says up to 12yo but honestly I think the tweens of today would be quickly bored. Admission is $13 whether for kids or adults (under 1 free). The museum wasn't very crowded, and has seating all around for parents to sit and watch while the children played.

    5/21/21 This hot and…read moremoggy day brought us to this trail, with an endless amount of shade along the way. We started on the 9G end and walked toward Route 9. There are not a lot of views in the distance you'll get along the way but will notice turns and hills with endless views of the woods. The main trail is on a gravel path followed by two additional dirt trails indicating yellow and red. Both of these trails end up back at the gravel trail if you choose to go that way. We had a great experience going round trip enjoying the scenery. The name of the main trail is called the Hyde Park Trail which connects with other trails along the way, which a matter of fact connects with River Front Park (see my other review). Please, I strongly encourage you to bring bug spray because we screwed up. It's very bad along the whole journey. Also, check for ticks.

    We really enjoyed our afternoon hike at Roosevelt Farm Lane Trail. This park came to my attention…read morewhen I was doing a search for local parks with carriage roads. Not only are the roads here in good condition, but most of the road has great shade from the trees, so even if it is hot out you are not suffering too much. I am not a tree expert or anything, but I think there are a lot of pine trees in these woods because the smell of pine was strong throughout our hike, which was really nice. Located in a few places on the trial were information plaques with QR Codes, so make sure you have a QR reader app installed on your phone before you visit so you can scan the code and listen to the guided tour on your phone.

    Really cute park with lots of easy hiking trails at a former apple orchard…read more The views are really pretty especially for sunset time and it's located at the highest point in Poughkeepsie. I love that throughout the trail you have little signs explaining fun facts about the animals you find there and insects such as frogs and fireflies. Really cool to learn while you walk. Came here in November for some photos but there wasn't too much foliage. Can't imagine how beautiful the park must be during spring with their apple blossoms and being able to Apple pick too! The cool thing is this park is run by a nonprofit, The Friends of Peach Hill and they're always looking for volunteers to help maintain this beautiful place. Porta potties available and beware of ticks. Signs are posted everywhere when you first walk in and I took my very first one home from just walking around and being in low cut grass area. That's the only downfall and main thing I can't evennnnnn deal with in the north east. Other than that, cute park with lots of picnic tables and areas where you can enjoy creation.

    I generally don't like leaving low reviews for parks, but my recent trip I made (10/1) wasn't what…read morewe expected, a lot of apples on the ground with bugs flying around and making it a trapping hazard, and plus the lack of signage on the trails especially the white trail. Most of the side trails are connectors leading from one trail color to another, but please put on a sign in there indicating it. My sense of directions are great, while some others it may not. For the mud on the red trail, please take caution as it can be very messy due to rain. My advice, just turn around and take a different trail color. A major upgrade would be great for this park. Besides that, just be careful where stepping and not getting lost. Rating: Issues - 1 Park 4.5 Overall: 2.7 **Read my original review for overall and general information**
