This park is nearby for me and makes for a lovely walk or bike ride on a nice day. It's a short little loop and has a pretty pier attached that juts out into the river quite a ways. There are nice benches u can sit on to chat or just take in the scenery. This path is connected to the extension that they recently put in that takes u to the point on the Hudson at Montrose just short of Indian Point (Entergy) by the riverfront green. The entire length of both is relatively flat, has nice views of the Hudson and offers numerous sculptures to take in. Safe too. U can have coffee or ice cream at the Creamery or Tacos and a margarita at Taco Dive Bar when you're done.

The newly refurbished and expanded park is a fantastic place to take in the amazing view of the Hudson River, the Bear Mountain Bridge and the Hudson Valley. The park offers stunning views, lots of park benches and picnic tables, art installations, a walking and bike path, a children's playground. There's even a cruise company company that sails from the park offering short river cruises that offer wine and some with food as well. You'll find plenty of locals and visitors with kids and pets in tow strolling along the river. The park is a must see on any visit to Peekskill.
