Reviews to Van Cortlandt Park
Yet another glorious park of the Bronx. Van Cortlandt Park is as beautiful in its landscaped areas as it is, in its more unkempt and wilder parts. There are plenty of recreational facilities and golf lawns for the sport enthusiasts. For everyone else, there are miles and miles of immersive and serene woodland trails, bicycle paths, views of the lake, and plenty of bird watching opportunities as there are varied species of beautiful birds that call the park home. Don't miss the Bridle Path when there during a spring or autumn day!

Great park for getting away from the city. Both the John Kieran and John Muir Nature Trails travel through nice wetlands and forest.

Third largest park in NYC and almost twice the size of Central Park, Van Cortlandt has everything from horse riding to miles of trails and a beautiful parade ground not to mention an 18th Century mansion where George Washington left from in the final act of the American Revolution.
It is also home to America's first and oldest municipal golf course with a landmark club house and picturesque Van Cortlandt Lake right behind it.
The park is big for runners and bikers on the 36 mile Putnam trail that goes all the way up into Putnam County past Westchester or the parade grounds for runners.
Don't be surprised if you spot deer or coyotes here. Both call Van Cortlandt Park or Vannie as locals call it, home.

What a great park. I always exercise and walk there toward riverdale. I had alot of memories and it's a great place to reflex and to hang out. I used train and bus to go there.

Love this park for the biking trails. The Putnam bike trail is great. Leading all the way up to Yonkers. There is a beautiful Lake by the side of the trail and plenty of places to take pics or just relax and enjoy the scenery. There are also many other things to do in this park. A word of caution...this park is huge so I don't recommend it for ladies to wander alone after it gets dark or too early in the morning. You never know what lurks deep inside. But take someone with you and enjoy!
