Great park till you cross through it to get to the Washington Bridge. I walked through it to the bridge into the Bronx. This is what u will see...sadno

All this years living in The Bronx, and I never came to this bridge. A bridge that serve a important purpose for this City. It was awesome for me to visit this forgotten Bronx landmark.

Covid19 testing site; very well organized and fast paced.

Nice pass to get over and bike by the west side bike lanes

Great views of the city! This is a must see for native NYers and people who are visiting. Its a hidden gem and the bike trails leading up to it are in great condition well maintained. You are riding along and all of a suden you come to an opening and there is this bridge that connects Washington Heights to the Bronxs. The views are amazing and there are a few benches to sit and enjoy the views.

Love walking to this park also really enjoy the pool. I have been going there since I was a teenager

The walk/jog/bike path is really nice. Mostly shaded. Small playground with sprinklers are fun for hot weather...

Features unpaved trail with a view of the Bronx and a Highbridge, of course. Parts of this park are currently under reconstruction. Its a part of multi million revitalization program by NYC Parks.

The beautiful park was so natural, nature boys paradise, but the crack and K-2 smokers messed it all up

Very cool,, clean and nice bridge with a view over Manhattans skyline. Really awesome

Highbridge is a clean, safe family friendly park. Since the pool, playgrounds, baseball fields and courts are closed its more quiet than usual. During COVID you can still find folks picnicking and exercising, lots of dog walking too. Very enjoyable

The bridge is cool. Theres a nice isolated road for cycling and running. The good thing is to get there there is long steps down, going up is the bad part.

The view in the middle of winter isnt that great...but in the summer and spring items beautiful with all the trees and plants. Breeze is amazing and calming. I would definitely recommend coming here for a picnic or just relaxing

Great place to just sit and gather your thoughts its also fun

Park was nice. The locals were a bit wild with burn outs and donuts in their cars near kids playing.

Fantastic location in upper Manhattan to hang out with family and friends plus a huge pool with an active recreational center.

At 15yrs old my first Job was at the Highbridge Recreation Center, my 2nd Job was for Bette Midler and her NYPD I was her youngest Crew Member 1996

This nostalgic historical bridge that has been refurbished is an ideal unobstructed method to commute from the Bronx to Manhattan. The ability to walk, jog, or ride a bike without worrying about car fumes is refreshing during the day. There are a few benches to sit and watch the boats riding along the river. The only safety concern is that once you walk the bridge from the Bronx towards the Manhattan path, there are no lights to guide you once it gets dark. People have been seen using flashlights and walking accompanied to avoid traversing alone; although the bridge is closed and not accessible approximately after 8pm.

Went there fir covid test... a good experience!

Its a nice little park to sit down and take in the view or a nice stroll across the bridge. You get an excellent view of the Harlem River, the Major Deegan highway or Harlem River drive. During the early days of summer is the best time to walk the bridge because of the cool evening time and the amazing sunset view from the bridge.

Absolutely love this park. It sits at a higher elevation, allowing for great views of the surrounding areas. Lush with trees and with unpaved, sometimes non-existent walk paths, it makes you feel like youre in a forest until you hear and see the road traffic beneath the park. There are natural exposed rocks like the ones in Central Park. The autumn colors are amazing, similar to the famed foliage of New England. There is a path to an aqueduct-style walk bridge, which you can cross to get to the Bronx.

Love this park! When you walk through, you can appreciate the city and nature. Now lights are being install which will add an improvement in security. Nice job

Spectacular Views coming off the GW rite by High Bridge Pk. Routes for Cycling as well

Serenity, gorgeous views and kid and family oriented. Trails are great.

This is a wonderful park. Its space is big and it has enough space to organize and coordinate for any public events or any occasion as well as for family picnics even concerts.

Bmx jumps are some of the best around! 191st and Amsterdam ave

Beautiful, historic park filled with activities and playgrounds for everyone. Plus the historic High Bridge pedestrian walkway which is open to the public from 7am to 7pm everyday.

I grew up in Washington Heights from the late 80s till 2008. The bridge and everything behind Highbridge pool was always closed, full of stolen cars and homeless people its great to see that they have cleaned up everything and made walking paths for people to enjoy the history thats back there

Very relaxing place to take a long walk and enjoy nature

It such a beautiful place for a walk, stroll and even a bike ride. It also has a pool, playground and picnic area.

Off the beaten path less used park, great connection over to the Bronx via Highbridge pedestrian overpass. Also a low traffic alternative throughfare and nice way to avoid the hills of the westside on the Harlem River Path. Lastly there are dirt jumps and legal mountain bike trails in here actual elevation and some interesting runs, wouldnt want to fall in here alotta strange items on the side of the trails nonetheless very cool.

Great dirt jumps & trails

Beautiful scenery, beautiful Park. Go out enjoy the fresh Air.

One of the nicest place in the Bronx for a short walk. If riding a bike, you can take 155th st, jump over the highway and ride all the way till the end of Harlem River Drive, then take some pictures of the Boat House

Highbridge park is a very nice and peaceful place to your workout

Highbridge is a beautiful park in the process of upgrade construction in a few areas.

Always a lovely walk, up close w nature the views are awesome and you get to see 2 Boros.

Good park, if it was bigger it would be much even better, it really feels good to walk to it, or to ride the bike, it really fills the lungs with fresh air.

Great open public space with a bridge connecting Washington Heights and the Bronx and some terrific views of the Harlem River and Manhattan.

The place is very clean and safe. It is surrounded by trees and so the air is fresh. This is a great place to bring your family and friends.

A very beautiful place to walk/jog especially the trail. It isnt as large as most other part but certainly long and beautiful to think and wander.

Great place for a walk, jogging or bike ride since the park has been restored in 2015. Beautiful scenery too!

Great recreation center. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. Its clean. The equipment is well-maintained. My only complaint is parking

Nice get away from the city.

Beautiful. What a renovation. I was lucky to witness the great renovation and even read about it. It was a wreck. The homeless used it as a safe haven. Monumental! The work seemed to go on and on. However, today itsnot only beautiful but clean with a great view of the Bronx (Yankee $tadium. What a great bit of history. Check it out.

Great place thanks to NYC!

Nice piece of green space in an area severely lacking in that.

A jewel in the Bronx, you have to visit this place. Its a pedestrian bridge/park. Connecting the Bronx and Manhattan, views to upstate and downtown Manhattan.

It is a beautiful place to pray

My favorite place to relax

Such a beautiful park!

Great experience at this park. They had been renovating some of the areas and it looks so much better. I just love taking long walks here.

A nice place to explore and spend some time with the kids. They have events organized by the parks dept. and they have a public pool as well.

Good for small children at play

Fire word to my motha I would dead live hea

I love this park!

Awesomely challenging hardcore urban mountain biking trails. Nice dirt jumps up at top as reward for climbing from lower flowing skills section. Various sections to learn on or flow together at top section from rock gardens and rooty to water logs and rollers. Just know your limits and be aware.

An outdoor park with multiple sections to do different activities with your children and family. Great for family picnics and gatherings, also to play many diverse sports and games with your kids. One of the best places to make any of your plans happen. If you are from the neighborhood, its very close to everything.

They finally after years of deterioration, they have renovated and open the bridge for everyone to walk in it, though getting there from the Manhattan side in the park is dangerous if youre not careful. Back then you can see the bridge from Washington bridge not too far (the bridge connecting Manhattan and Bronx) but would never cross it because of the state it was. Some people did tend to pass through the barricade, and went in, (before camera phones were invented and people taking selfies) for the thrills.

It has a pool and its where the Major League Domino players are at. Friendly ambiance, kids park, 10 feet pool and a kiddie pool. It has a Kids play ground, tons of open space ***it also has a solar panel charging station*** how cool is that? It has a baseball field too. And a walking bridge that takes you to the Bronx aaaaand a YMCA

Its a good park

Went to take a free covid test

Not much here but there is some wildlife so thats nice!

We are currently working on the water tower, and i gotta say the view is amazing from above. You guys tell me what you think

Grew up in this park. It has come q long way and is inly getting better

I love the bridge to the Bronx, even if its shorter than I thought it would be. The pool is pretty cool. There are a couple of playgrounds. Parking in the neighborhood is scarce.

Beautiful trees, View is beautiful Nice walk I run a bicycle rider

Nice but the tower is closed.

Majestic views up & down Hudson River from way above water from High Bridge. NYC skyline, Palisades cliffs, Washington Heights, Cleopatras Needle, several bridges. Quiet oasis in bustling city. Completely renovated and rebuilt w new playgrounds and exercise areas. High Bridge gate gets locked at night on Bronx side

Highbridge Park, a wonderful quiet hideaway that my dog and I enjoy everyday!! Has a great trail that goes up to a walkable bridge that lets you end up in the Bronx. The scenery along the trail is awesome and peaceful...My dog, PETRA loves running and sniffing every part of the woods!! Bring your dog and lets enjoy them enjoying nature in the middle of Manhattan!!

Very nice bridge for pedestrians!

Amazing park, you can walk or ride your bike. One of the drawbacks is that restrooms are not easily accessible, only few point along the way have restrooms and at times are closed.The pool here is used by the community and it is well maintained. You will have to make long lines to get in once school is over.One of NYC finest locations. Once a year they offer and inside tour of the water tower.

One of my favorite spots to run or lay out.

Great views... I may have come at a bad time as the bay was low and emitted a stench that I couldnt stay to long, was getting a headache. But I can totally see myself coming back when the tide is higher and have lunch on the beautiful patio.

This place is gorgeous with beautiful views. I have it 3 stars because of Dog poo everywhere

This park is getting better every year thanks to the efforts of the parks department and volunteers. The views are great and a walk across the bridge is a unique experience. The surrounding neighborhood has good food to offer, an experience in itself

So beautiful and peaceful

1uv da bes PLaYcs in the citY

The bridge itself is nice to walk. Would recommend with a friend or 2.

I information on the ground is dope

Nice place to enjoy sit during the day time.

Amazing photography spot

Beautiful park!

The upgrades have been great

This place is closed due to construction couldn’t get on the high bridge

I love this park but could we finish it?? I was walking around with a toddler for an hour and a half because we found ourselves at dead ends several times. We followed a path and then it was gone. We finally got out except we were blocked by a construction site.... so I taught a 2.5 year old how to slide on his belly under a gate. So.... finish the park.

Highbridge used to be the old Aqueduct water system for New York City back in the 1800s

A quiet place to relax. People passing through commuting between boroughs.

Really nice park, I wish I had known about it sooner.

Pretty cool way to get a different view of the city. Seems like it is easier to find parking on the Bronx side of the bridge

Great views

Its a beautiful park and they offer many different things to the community from exercise, swimming lessons and many more. They have a large Olympic pool and a big kiddie pool for small children. They offer many activities for everyone from children all the way to senior citizens.

Is a great place to exercise, enjoy the fresh air, excellent view and spending time with family and friends. I love the highbrishe Park!

A great park it has a bridge and you can go to the bronx from there

I just wish the bathrooms were a little more cleaner but i cant complain muvh because it is a public bathroom.

Wer19th

Great park, the recreation center offer fitness classes, including zumba, cardio kickboxing, arts, huge pools during the summer and much more.

The bridge is nice and clean with a few benches for relaxing and watching the views.

Very good,and safe
