Wow! Where has this very large public park been hidden for so long?! In plain site and so easy to get to and park, an outdoor day of hiking and beaches and relaxing. Many Bar B Queing going on and a nice and relaxing place to visit. And enjoy a very different view of Long Island and the Bronx. Put it on your list!!

Not only does it have two parks for the kids to play, with swings and slides, and a doggie park, and BBQ area, but there's this beautiful view in the back area. Great for fishing or a hike or a picnic with a view. Wait for dry weather or you'll mess up your footwear with mud.

I enjoyed Pelham Bay Park. I went on the trails on Hunter Island and visited Glovers Rock. The trails were interesting and scenic. The park was quiet and peaceful during this time of year.

NYC's biggest park, so lots of ground to cover. During this review mostly the shoreline was shirted, and some hiking trails explored. In fair weather it makes for a nice experience, and locals have a standing agreement not to shank you, which is generous.

Such a lovely park, even in winter. We went to see what birds lived there and came across some lovely smaller birds. We just missed a red tailed hawk but caught it flying away. There are lots of water fowl and blue jays, cardinals and Titmice to be seen.

My favorite place to disconnect from city life. Feels like another world if you find the right hiking path. Water views, gorgeous trails, beautifully kept areas for family, tennis courts, track and bocce ball courts too (I don't even know what bocce is but I'll find out).

Nice Park🏞 to go with families, friends and not mentioning you can celebrate Birthdays, Wedding, Babyshower, Graduation ceremony, BBQ, or just to enjoy everything 😀but the only issue is some people doesn't clean up after themselves and that isn't good if we want to keep it clean. Please let's do our best to keep our Park clean 😉

Love this park, parking was easy at Orchard beach in the spring. Walked and so many beautiful vistas and birds

Very nice, low key park. The main problem with this park is there is a NYPD shooting range across the bay. This means it is never peaceful. As you try for a nice peaceful walk, it will be inundated with sounds of automatic weapons and gunfire as if you are running through a battle zone. It can be very disturbing. You can have barbecues in the picnic area. There are tennis courts, a dog park, a very nice park for all age children with an attached basketball court and bathrooms. It is kept clean and attended by the nyc parks department. There are softball/baseball areas and very close to city island.

Great park to go for a nature walk, it has so much to offer for everyone. They have two playgrounds, one for smaller kids and another for ages 4 and up. Lots of picnic and bbq areas. There is also a small water area past the dog park in the back which is pretty easy to miss if you’re not familiar with the park. I must say that they need to at least update the playground equipment. Pelham Bay Park has so much potential to be amazing but I don’t understand why the people in charge don’t put much into it.

Very nice park. Will return when the weather gets warmer

Beautiful, clean, clear and all around amazing beach. Perfect for family days just getting out of the house. Absolutely needed it this summer.

First off I went to orchard to Orchard beach in a cold November and the view was absolutely amazing. I don’t know about the beach during the summer time but if you would like to have some alone time with your partner this would be the place.

Very nice scenery.. I recommend to come on a not so hot day though

The playground is always clean and well maintained. I always go in the mornings because there are less kids since I have a toddler, in the afternoons is mostly older children and it gets kind of crazy.

Nice place for picnic, the beach is great. They have multiple courts for games such as net ball,basketball, tennis

Beautiful place to spend the 4th of July's weekend, barbecues are allowed.

01-06-2024, First time here!! Nice place, well designed field layouts, good conditioned greens, very kind staffs, nice bunker designs, only 20 min from NJ. Definitely, I would come back.

Great spark for a bike run, not enough parking area

The biggest Park in New York City, and amazing place to spend time with amazing people all races. It clearly shows that it’s the Bronx and not Manhattan because if it was Manhattan the grass and landscaping would be done more often. This is definitely a park where the people make up place!

Off season this place is so nice to go and walk. It’s peaceful, pretty and expansive. The parking lot is huge, but there’s usually something going on in there- unofficial car show, motorcycle gathering, bbq, drones, remote controlled cars…nonetheless, once in the park, people are playing basketball, pickle ball, handball, or you can hear the little ones laughing in their park. Overall, it’s a pleasant place where everyone kind of does their own thing. In the summer, you’ll see a much more lively beach with music, performances, and people just having fun. It can get very crowded.

Pelham bay park... the largest park in NYC... is amazing. you can reach it by taking the 6train uptown to the last stop which is called Pelham Bay Park. The park has a lot to offer... lots of greenery, trails to run and walk, Orchard beach is located in Pelham bay park. you can go horseback riding and fishing. I love that Pelham park is practically my backyard.

Beautiful park thanks to the Dept of parks for the renovation on the back side of the park by the water it’s awesome and the park staff for keeping the park clean

Came here on a vacation from New Mexico and New Mexico does not have any beaches. Had a good time there. Came out looking like a friggin lobster 🦞

Always a pleasure! Perfect day, grass was fresh, trees were beautiful.

This is a picnic/ cook out park… all grass and open space, a few trees for shade and a skinny cement walking path. The grills are limited so if you need theirs get there super early (7am). Theres one restroom and a small playing park with only baby swings. Please clean up your trash after your event/ before leaving.

I went to the picnic area for the pow wow and it was amazing. Very very amazing smell.

Pelham Bay Park is a beautiful park. The baseball/softball fields need to be cured. I say cured because I can see all these kids trying to hold practice and play ball but are limited to getting a successful training session because of all the holes and puddles it has. If they need a hand, I can volunteer and help out with the fields. I have no issue with helping that what so ever. Anything for the community and their youth.

Beautiful park with multiple recreation sites and access to the water . Orchard Beach is within the larger Pelham Bay park. You can enjoy nature, walking and biking trails within the urban environment. There are baseball fields and a track. I love it here for a walk, ride, herping and birding .

I love riding horses but don't like to drive far so this place is perfect. The horses are healthy looking & stalls are well maintained. The trails are lovely & leaders have been very good & watchful. I've found the changing staff quite strange and unwelcoming. Prices are fair.

Best park to play football in. The field is a full field and even with 2 or 3 teams practicing you can still play since its big. I go here every Saturday no problems whatsoever. And after I go to this water side area to relax which is pretty cool.

Beautiful by the bay. Lots of neat birds and plenty of parking.

One of the biggest park in the city of New York lots of tree and still very green, the only thing most people don’t dispose their garbage properly. Workers always tried to do there job properly, thanks to that.

Great place for a hike. Free parking during off season. Help keep the park clean!

I love the nature trails all the little hikes are beautiful as are the views, unfortunately the water quality is less than desirable for swimming.

It was beautiful. I have never been there before. Me and my bf went and have a great time in a secluded area of the park overlooking natural setting.

A wonderful woods! In the city.

Beautiful cool day, it was awesome... I took a walk along the beach, it was very relaxing...

It was beautiful and there was a nice smell along the trail until Orchard beach, perfect if you are a runner. Totally recommend it

Very nice place to take a walk on the beach and get steps in. Too, if you have kids great place for the water on the water isn’t deep when the tide is low. Great place to have a picnic as well.

Very clean and quiet early in the morning in the weekend always a Pleasure to walk my dogs there many neighborhood people keep it nice and friendly

Well for the limited time I was here, I felt so relaxed and carefree. I felt safe and secure. I was comfortable being who I am completely without any reservations of what anyone thought of me. It is a great choice for a good time. Enjoy your day. Peace to All.

Actually we were at Orchard Beach ⛱️ we always enjoy ourselves while there.

I have one of the best round in my life here.. straight forward course.. love it!

2023-01-28 was here for a ranger led seal watch. I love the Park Rangers. Used one of at least two incredibly spacious bathrooms. I was able to walk my bike in. A good thing because there is no bike parking. Needs a citibike dock. My reviews tend to be bike oriented. I don't own a car but will rent one on vacations. If this perspective interests you, then you may want to follow my reviews. Google Maps does not have a keyword for bike or biking. Why is that? 4 yrs ago. Was only in a small part but still impressed

Beautiful clean diverse park. City recreation foundation offers free sports camp there from 9-12 great opportunity for kids to play. There is a parking lot area for parents to park on Middletown rd I forget the cross street. Clean! Clean! Clean! Beautiful park! Quiet residential neighborhood. It’s a block from the train on the 6 line. I dare picnic tables but no grill. Open area to bike through or run or lay out. The parking lot is right next to the track on Middletown rd

Great space to work out in

Pretty cool park, it’s nice and clean. What I didn’t like however was when I went to walk a couple of the trials around the area. I saw a few guys popping out of the shrubs and and they seemed a bit intimating. The trials also aren’t kept clean and the beach area was a total mess I still like the main area though. That spot was well patrolled

Great clean park to exercise in. Plenty of parking which is a plus

Picnic area

Nice scene green space good parking

Awesome but there was a homeless person trying to tell my friends and I a story

Good place

The spot

Getting close to nature. Orchard Beach Woods

Very clear park for family.

(Translated by Google) Love it (Original) Me encanta

Still a classic park!! Been going to it for decades!! Love it !!!

Nice and big

The park is lungs of east bronx. It is huge and has potential to develop as central park . Especially during pandemic when people have very limited option to hangout and socialized. The paek has 5 big ground and natural forest and tall tree and water front (hudson back water) view . Which has potential to develop as small beach. The park has track and carpet grass. Which definetly need maintaince. The park has two child park with slide and swing.

Nice long walks to be had here close to the waterfront. The shore has 3 abandoned boats which have been stripped of parts but I was able to board one, slippery when wet.

It was a great experience, our 4 month old Husky Mastiff had a great time with all of his new friends!

This time of year is great there. Wonderful site for walking, basketball,paddle ball, tennis, bike riding, kite flying and watching nature. Hike along the rocks and see what the fisherman have caught. Sit on the benches and watch the dogs walking their humans or bring a blanket and enjoy the sun! Yup, no swimming now, but the crowds are down. The concessions are closed but bring your picnic baskets! Best of all, the parking is free!

The view is awesome, the summary here is the most perfect view. Breathtaking... is the best way to describe it. If you want to sit and relax on the sand, watch the sunset and be able to see the golden gate Bridge, this is the spot. Parking is free and not far away.

Beautiful Atmosphere,Nice glowing lights at night time, Lovely view of the front of the Park, Lots of Benches to Sit down All Over the Park,Such a Lot of nice Walking Paths to Workout at a nice park to Chill with music on a Sunshine Day

Love strolling through the winding walking paths. The calm and quiet are perfect stress relievers. I was able to find cleared paths after the snow storm.

This park is a great escape from the big city. It's quite and feels secluded. Very spacious for private picnics. The greens areas are clean but the seating areas could use some TLC... not too bad though. There's a big outdoor gym, a dog park, playing fields, a small forest all around and past that is the water. I believe is the only beach in the Bronx. All in all I recommend it and I will be going back.

It's a lovely place to have your trailer leaf springs break on Christmas Eve... Yay 2020!

Biggest park in nyc much bigger than previously realized

Love this park. Great for getting the miles in, never too crowded. Awesome trails

Freezing but nice to walk your doggo

New York City's largest park offers some of its most breathtaking scenery, including a rocky coastline on the Long Island Sound that could easily be mistaken for Maine.

Great park. Largest in NYC. Walk path to orchard beach and city island.

A gem right on the edge of the Bronx. Wish it was more centralized in the Bronx though

Horseback riding is a must at this park!!

(Translated by Google) Very well you can breathe a pure and rich air, you feel a relaxing atmosphere and apart I found a little star sampayo (Original) Muy bien se respira un aire puro y rico se siente un ambiente relajante y aparte me encontré a estrellita sampayo

This is an absolutely heavenly place to visit in the bronx. The skyline and water color are extreme beauty of this bay. I have visited this place with my friends and enjoyed the natural beauty.
