Confirmed from Scenic Hudson RiverWalk Park at Tarrytown'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.
Park featuring a playground, picnic areas, and a bridge, plus a restroom.

What an incredible place to be able to walk along the Hudson. Even though there is literally a gazillion new units constructed and going up it was not crowded. Great views of the sunset, and people are walking just waiting to catch it.

I stopped here with my family while in town. Great scenic view of the Hudson River. There was a walk path and benches to sit. Community members were friendly and welcoming. There are educational stations of historic information, English and Spanish. There are picnic tables available to sit for a picnic, snack or treat.
So beautiful here whether you come during the day where you can walk along the Hudson; picnic or have the kids play in the playground. At night stroll along the walking path on the Hudson and enjoy the incredible sunset over the Hudson River with the Mario Cuomo Bridge in the background.
