Confirmed from Concrete Plant Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Riverfront green on the site of a former concrete plant, with bike/walking trails & a kayak launch.
What runners say about Concrete Plant Park
“There are lots of plants and flowers that attract butterflies which is really quite beautiful.”
Nice place to walk or picnic. Has lots to see and plenty of seats. In the summer it also has conoeing and beautiful flowers.
Pleasant small park along the banks of the Bronx River. The centerpiece is a group of 30' tall steel structures that were part of a concrete plant into the 1980s. This is a new style park with a short river walk, a drinking fountain, and little else.
I love to go to Concreat Park because it's so easy to go to compared to my other two favorite parks (Starlight and Soundview Park); whenever I am on foot that is. I love to sit by the water or stand and just wacth as the water passes along; my favorite is when the sun is out and reflecting off of the water.
Great park for a walk or picnic with family and friends don't forget to get some pictures near the garden area
