Pelham Bay Park

Great park to go for a nature walk, it has so much to offer for everyone. They have two playgrounds, one for smaller kids and another for ages 4 and up. Lots of picnic and bbq areas. There is also a small water area past the dog park in the back which is pretty easy to miss if you’re not familiar with the park. I must say that they need to at least update the playground equipment. Pelham Bay Park has so much potential to be amazing but I don’t understand why the people in charge don’t put much into it.

NYC's biggest park, so lots of ground to cover. During this review mostly the shoreline was shirted, and some hiking trails explored. In fair weather it makes for a nice experience, and locals have a standing agreement not to shank you, which is generous.

Not only does it have two parks for the kids to play, with swings and slides, and a doggie park, and BBQ area, but there's this beautiful view in the back area. Great for fishing or a hike or a picnic with a view. Wait for dry weather or you'll mess up your footwear with mud.

My favorite place to disconnect from city life. Feels like another world if you find the right hiking path. Water views, gorgeous trails, beautifully kept areas for family, tennis courts, track and bocce ball courts too (I don't even know what bocce is but I'll find out).
