Confirmed from Scenic Hudson 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.
Scenic park (clean and well kept) along the Hudson River, with baseball fields and a basketball court.

This village was home to my family for many years, and we spent countless hours at this gorgeous park right on the Hudson River. The views from here are spectacular; you can see the Manhattan skyline, Piermont across the river and the former Tappan Zee Bridge now Mario Cuomo Bridge.
This charming off the beaten path park is beautiful. Plenty of parking. Benches and seating galore along with walking paths. The views are lovely. This park is beautifully maintained.
Beautiful scenic place. Relatively quiet to cool of, except for the trains that are passing by every few minutes. Please note that there is no bathroom facility open for the winter season .
Beautiful, clean park right at water level. Lots to look at as the train runs by, the bridge is up the river, and a great view of NYC. Clean facilities and nice fields too.
