Allison Park Allison Park Road, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632

"It is a very tiny park to have hangout and mostly not busy. It doesn’t show any picnic area but I saw two tables to have picnic when bring your own cooked food. They don’t have garbages."

"It’s a nice local park with great views of the Hudson River, Manhattan and the Bronx. Very relaxing. On top of the cliffs so very nice views. However they started charging for parking. I have been coming to this park since the early 1990s when I was a child and never did they charge for parking until now (2024)."

"We unexpectedly discovered this park while waiting for my doctor to return to the office. It is a small park with few people, especially on the Saturday we visited. We enjoyed a beautiful view of the other side of New York and were pleasantly surprised to spot deer in the park. We believe it would be a great location to host an outdoor birthday party for those who prefer a more secluded environment, away from large crowds."

"Rather funny that I first spied this park, not from the Long Path but from 300 feet below on my paddle board. The little stone cabin in the southeast corner is visible from the river, the only part visible from there really and I wondered then (a few years ago) 'who owns that place'. Allison has an interesting history, starting (for me anyway) with his co-ownership of the Palisades Mountain House, a grand 500-guest hotel that was opened in 1872 but burned to the ground in 1884 (no loss of life), the site of which was just a half mile or so north (see my review of St. Michael's Villa for more on that). I visited here for the first time a couple weekends ago while hiking the Long Path from Fort Lee/GW. A pretty place, though the bathrooms are closed for the season, which does nothing for hikers (though I guess it does not matter for those with a car who seem to be the main visitors)."
