Reviews
"Such a dreamy park! We visited when it was almost time for sunset, and there was this beautiful mist hanging above the river and it just looked so gorgeous. There is a parking lot right outside and we easily got a spot. There are multiple paths around the park leading to different areas, all of them along the Hudson River. Overall the park is definitely worth a visit and it completed our memorable visit to the beautiful city of Beacon."
"Beautiful transformation!! Its hard to believe that this place was once contributing to the poisoning of the Hudson river. This has a great view of storm king and is one of the locations for the Hudson river art school rubbing medallion. Some times there will be a improv drum circle that plays into the night."
"Great place to take the kids, take the dog for a walk, fish, or go for a bike ride. Park is usually pretty empty. Plenty of parking and lots of trails to wander around."
"Beautiful, long strolls down marked pathways. Waterfront is amazing. There was plenty of room for playing, runs, hikes, yoga or just sitting and enjoying the young man playing on the meditation bowls."
"The trail is easy to do for families with young children with views of the Hudson river. You can spot a few wild birds on the trail. We wanted to spot some bald eagles but it is not the place for that. We did see some vultures and cranes. The trail goes up to dennings point(better for viewing eagles), but it is a restricted area. It gets windy and cold in April. So dress appropriately. The park has a deck to view the river closely. Parking is mostly available. Summer days can get busy."
