Very clean park with plenty of paved trails to walk on. There is a Beautiful garden nearby that I would not hesitate to visit also. It has some challenging hills to get there but definitely worth the view, Its also never overcrowded.
5 stars and 3 thumbs up!!
Love visiting this park, surprised I didn't learn about it sooner. Easy free parking. Great views of the GWB and hudson River. Beautiful garden and lawns. Great place to go for a walk.
A wonderful park at the highest topographical point in Manhattan. Lovely well manicured gardens.
Also worth a visit to the Cloisters if you haven't been. During nice weather I love to walk here in the mornings.
Surprisingly a great visit and every New Yorker should make the time to go here at least once. I want to say it's probably the most hilly park I have visited in NYC. Even though I came here just before the start of Winter, it was still magnificent. ✌🏽
Big park and easy to get lost, so I’m glad I went with a friend. We went to the mansion ruins site. I love old buildings and stuff so I wish there was more to see, but I still think it was worth it. I would go back and try to explore other parts of the park, as I’m sure there was plenty I did not see. The Cloisters are also in the park but you have to pay to see it.
Having won Monopoly in a past life, I'd thought I had conquered the ellicit draw of domination in urban settings. So shooketh was I when I ascended the tarried peaks of Fort Tryon, the topological epitome of what-they-don't-know-won't-hurt-them, coined after the British general of the same name and William. It was, in a word, as contentious as a Buzzfeed quiz that asks readers whether each quote was written by Shakespeare or Taylor Swift.
The larger park was apparently "acquired" by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (most well known for being indistinguishable from his father but an utterly unique breed famously called "unrecognizable" by his grandfather) from the early 1900s. I sent sundry telegrams to the park service to ask what was meant by this terminology and can only pass onto my readers the assurance I received that the land was at every point in its exchange freely up for sale and of course Rockefeller like all real estate bros always forever paid a fair price and that is how the market works and he earned it and actually no we don't have open records of the sale but I'm sure that the families of the anonymous people who sold would be happy to speak with any interested parties if they were contacted directly STOP. At least one previous tenant was a millionaire so perhaps truth is real.
After restructuring this lush forest into greenery, Rockefeller then generously donated the land to the public and in so doing earned the reverence we owe him for this - the ultimate sacrifice. I even tracked a small sparrow who, for reasonable compensation, was ready and willing to follow in Rocky's steps with this testimony:
Stay still. Wait. Silence the parts of you that
Thrill to make noise for the sake of motion,
That match the momentum of the world to
Stop the drop of drowning in the ocean.
They can only ever float though they strive
To reach reality on ev'ry dive
And dive again, hoping this time they will
Catch what they seek if they can stay alive
But though currents are meant to sway and roam
They cannot help but carry us back home.
His name? Taylor Swift.
I love the park. It is nicely manicured with beautiful trees and flowers. I also found a rare southern magnolia tree! There are only a handful in NYC.
Fort Tryon Park is a public park located in the Hudson Heights and Inwood neighborhoods of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The 67-acre (27 ha) park is situated on a ridge in Upper Manhattan, close to the West's Hudson River. It extends mainly from 192nd Street in the south to Riverside Drive in the north and from Broadway in the east to the Henry Hudson Parkway in the west. The park's main entrance is at Margaret Corbin Circle, at the intersection of Fort Washington Avenue and Cabrini Boulevard.
The local Lenape tribe knew Chquaesgeck and Dutch settlers as Lange Bergh (Long Hill). During the American Revolutionary War, the Battle of Fort Washington was fought at the park's site. The area remained sparsely populated during the 19th century, but by the turn of the 20th century, it was the location of large country estates. Beginning in 1917, philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Jr., bought up several estates to create Fort Tryon Park. He engaged the Olmsted Brothers firm to design the park and hired James W. Dawson to create the planting plan. Rockefeller gave the land to the city in 1931, after two prior attempts to do so were unsuccessful, and the park was completed in 1935. Rockefeller also bought sculptor George Gray Barnard's collection of medieval art and gave it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. From 1935 to 1939, built the Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park to house the collection.
The park is built on a high Manhattan schist formation with igneous intrusions and glacial striations from the last Ice Age. The park's design included extensive plantings of various flora in the park's many gardens, including the Heather Garden, which was restored in the 1980s. Besides the gardens and the Cloisters, the park has extensive walking paths and meadows, with the Hudson and Harlem Rivers' views. Fort Tryon Park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and was designated a New York City Scenic Landmark in 1983.

This is the best sunset spot in NY. Next to Brooklyn Bridge Park, itâs my favorite park in the city. Itâs a little hidden gem. Itâs right by financial district yet so serene. Love the view on the bay and the sound of the waves against the woode

Eko is the best property manager Iâve ever met. He is very reactive and provide service as soon as possible. My 4 months tour in NYC is indispensable without his help.
Absolutely love F45 midtown location! The gym is huge and spacious, the equipment in great condition , and the instructors rock. Theyâre always very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to injuries/ substitutions and I feel I get a great workout
One of the best bibimbaps Iâve ever had! Cozy space so there is not a lot of seating, but would get it as take-out if needed. Will definitely go back!
Out of all of the Georgian restaurants Iâve been to in Brooklyn and Manhattan, Mealz is the one that exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious, not to mention the service was amazing. Overall, the environment was very comforting and friendly
Tickets were crazy affordable, especially in NYC terms. I went with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. It was wayyy cheaper than going to the movies. They had an amazing line-up and the retro 80s vibes were intimate and chill. Plus the come
Great class. All the coaches organize classes to push you but allow you to workout to your level. The workout space is not overcrowded and the environment makes you forget youâre actually running!
