Confirmed from Soundview 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.
Urban green space with playgrounds, soccer & baseball fields, an amphitheater & picnic areas.

It's wonderful having this park in walking distance. I just hope that they add cameras to keep people safe and to catch those who are not cleaning up after their dogs! Such ignorant people who care nothing about nature or cleanliness. AND they have a dog park!!!
Great Park...Well maintained baseball fields and running track. Restrooms are large and clean. Water fountains are available. 🤭You may see some really different wildlife...Egrets, swans, rabbits and more... You can enjoy fishing ( healthy Stripe Bass )...at easy access shoreline areas thru out the park.

Stunningly beautiful park. The crown jewel of the South Bronx. Playgrounds, walking paths, outdoor amphitheater, picnic tables, courts for sports, baseball and soccer fields, places to fish, views of the Manhattan skyline. Truly gorgeous in all 4 seasons.
