    The tower is a well constructed Romanesque Revival structure, with great view to northern Manhattan. The renovation was done well, maintaining its architectural feature.

    Nice place to walk over even on a rainy day. The view is not scenic more industrial views if you like that kind of stuff. Interesting history associated with the bridge. I wish they would beautify both sides more to make it more a destination from both sides. Easy to get to via subway. I recommend this nice walk over!

    Absolutely love this park. It sits at a higher elevation, allowing for great views of the surrounding areas. Lush with trees and with unpaved, sometimes non-existent walk paths, it makes you feel like you're in a forest until you hear and see the road traffic beneath the park. There are natural exposed rocks like the ones in Central Park. The autumn colors are amazing, similar to the famed foliage of New England. There is a path to an aqueduct-style walk bridge, which you can cross to get to the Bronx.

    There is a lovely paved path on its northernmost eastern entrance heading south. The bridge, however, isn't the only thing thats high. Keep your eyes open for used needles on the ground! The graffiti "museum" under the Bridge is gorgeous and love the maps pointing out the starting point of the Old Aqueduct Trail.

    One of the oldest bridge crossings in NYC. Great route across the East River from the Bronx to Inwood Park

    Absolutely stunning park with plenty of greenery and a way to disconnect from the urban environment nearby. Offers a little isolation and not a high of amount of pedestrian traffic. Beautiful views of the High Bridge. Plenty of easy access for pedestrians and bikers like.

    By far my favorite place in Highbridge, makes all the drama worth it when you can just walk across the bridge in peace. (Side note, on the Harlem side of the park it is definitely a male hookup spot so I do not recommend going that way after dark)

    It's a nice, safe place for exercise or relaxation. It's clean for the most part and well maintained.. The view from the footbridge is a stunner! Be prepared to capture many images for your scrapbook.

    I always enjoy visiting and walking, biking or running down the paths of this enormous linear park. Being engulfed in nature is relaxing and worth a visit. You see views of the Harlem River and get on High Bridge which connects Manhattan and the Bronx (car-free). The greenway offers access dedicated space for biking.

    Now that the leaves are gone the beauty is dormant but the drama of the city is on full display. The river, the highways, the Bronx, and the bridge still make the hike worthwhile.

    On return from biking from Roberto Clemente State Park to Astoria I and my six years old took the advice of a DOT advisor and chose the high bridge route. The views were stunning on the High Bridge. My little son was so happy with the green pathway 🏞️ after the High Bridge and the Central Park scenic route he didn't complain about the twelve mile distance even once! 💚He was singing along the way.

    A beautiful park with a lot of ongoing restoration projects, such as American chestnut restoration project. The park is operated by The New York Resoration Project, an NGO that inspires privetly owned foundations to invest in this type of project. This park, along with Inwood Hill Park, is one of the last wetland sanctuaries in NYC. Our city has already lost approx 70% of wetlands.

    Beautiful, historic park filled with activities and playgrounds for everyone. Plus the historic High Bridge pedestrian walkway which is open to the public from 7am to 7pm everyday.

    The view in the middle of winter isnt that great...but in the summer and spring items beautiful with all the trees and plants. Breeze is amazing and calming. I would definitely recommend coming here for a picnic or just relaxing

  • 5/5 accelking 1 year ago on Google
    Very neat space especially in the summer as it's lively and reminiscent of a more calm peaceful time. It's a good space to just enjoy a summer day or have a stroll to experience a neighborhood

  • 5/5 Dyckman O. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it. Loved all the new walking/bike paths. Check out my video riding behind the new Edgecomb/Highbridge path on 167th n Edgecomb. Ball courts at the bottom.

  • 5/5 Juana ramona D. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful experience with my husband and my son. We biked through here and had to stop for the view and of course some photos... Lovely place to enjoy a nice breeze and view.

    Baby pool is closed due to something about the filters which they should have fixed. Parking sucks. Bathroom is horrible and can use renovation. They closed the deep end

  • 5/5 Melinda F. 1 year ago on Google
    The park was so nice and clean. The park was so peaceful and quiet. I enjoyed the lake and taking pictures.

    Love walking in the park. Great for daily exercise routines.

  • 5/5 Jose Manuel T. 3 years ago on Google
    All this years living in The Bronx, and I never came to this bridge. A bridge that serve a important purpose for this City. It was awesome for me to visit this forgotten Bronx landmark.

  • 4/5 Tatyana G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very clean pool. The only problem was that ever few minutes the kids were finding rusty nails all over the pool. Mostly in the little one's section. Fortunately no one stepped on any of them. Oh and my bathing suit was stained by the rust on the grates at the edge of the pool. Aside from that, all staff we encountered were nice.

    This was my second time here and I loved it all over again

    It was a great place to visit especially the water tower.

  • 5/5 Anagalis P. 2 years ago on Google
    I truly love coming here during the winter time. The view from this park is so beautiful and you can have a clean view of the city. .. During the summer time it’s too clogged with people and this isn’t a place I would recommend if you don’t want to someone too close to your side.

    Highbridge park is beautiful, but it could use some improvements. I know the city has been working to update some of it, I've seen the updates. But I wished there were plans to add more garbage cans. Maybe it would I courage people not to litter there. It used to be an easy 5 stars park but people have been leaving their garbage everywhere. I see the odd garbage can is being used because its full. We all need to do our part.
