Fort Tryon Park

On the Grid : Fort Tyron Park

"Fort Tyron Park is an otherworldly park. With Romanesque architecture, breathtaking views of the George Washington Bridge, a garden named Heather, benches galore, and the best reading spots (Linden Terrace) in New York City, it's hard not to fall in love here. On an average day in the park, as you wind around the upward bends, you'll find anything from rock climbers, to photo shoots, to romantic picnic dates, to weddings, to families at the playground, to tourists and neighbors alike. On the south side, the park connects Inwood to its lovely neighbor, Washington Heights, and exits on Fort Washington Avenue." - Jeanne Henry
