Welcome to Habirshaw Park on the Hudson

Nestled in the heart of Yonkers, New York, Habirshaw Park on the Hudson offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Spanning 2 acres, this inviting riverfront park is a rare gem located so close to downtown, made possible through collaboration with the City of Yonkers and Westchester County. Here, sunbathers can unwind on the lush lawn while soaking in breathtaking views of the iconic Palisades.

The park features a restored tidal marsh and beach, serving as a perfect "outdoor classroom" for local youth. Thanks to the Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak, visitors can explore and learn about the river's ecosystem. For educational inquiries, please contact CURB at 914-377-1900.

In addition to the natural beauty of Habirshaw Park, Yonkers is home to the Hudson River Museum, which offers a variety of changing art exhibits, a planetarium, and a beautifully restored 19th-century mansion. Nearby, the historic Untermyer Gardens showcases an extraordinary Indo-Persian walled garden, complete with enchanting fountains and waterways.

Since 1963, Habirshaw Park on the Hudson has been connecting people with the inspirational power of the Hudson River, providing a tranquil retreat and a place for discovery and learning. Come visit us and experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of Yonkers.

Davis D. Janowski:

"I've landed here quite a few. times, leading trips for Manhattan Kayak Company out of New York. It is one of our longest trips at approximately 30 miles (depending on whether you cross the river or make various stops along the way). You have to be careful landing on the rocky beach, especially with fiberglass hulls, and there is but a narrow little channel to come in at during low tide (the rocks protecting and outlining the tidal marsh may be covered during the very highest tides). An easy walk to food, and don't miss at least seeing the 1682 Philipse Manor Hall state historic park and the daylighted Saw Mill River (originally called the Nepperhan River by the Lenape) along the way."

"A quiet, small gem on the Yonkers Waterfront. You cannot visit and not appreciate the ecosystem of the Hudson River and tidal marsh - consider the impact of coastal storms. A park for environmental reflection."

"I was unaware of this small park until I inadvertently passed it a couple of times while in this area. Parking is paved and one can walk up to the fence that stands between the park and the river. It was quiet with few visitors during my time at this location. This seems to be more of a nature reserve type park with a few amenities than one geared towards children."
