New York City

Many of the extraordinary man-made and natural treasures of New York come within the area of Northern Manhattan Parks. In 1935, the 67 acre, Fort Tryon Park, designed by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Olmsted Brothers was presented to the New York city as gift. A panoramic view of Hudson River can be had from the Heather Garden. The 3 acre Alpine Garden is adjacent to it and is known for collection of stone staircases traversing slope between Broadway and the Cloisters. History buffs visit the Fort Washing park for its Revolutionary War Structure seized by British, children enjoy the only lighthouse of Manhattan, the Little Red Lighthouse, people with aesthetic sense look for Palisades and the Hudson River. Fort Washington Park is an important element of Washington Heights Community. Apart from beauty and history, the park is also valued for basketball courts, baseball fields, tennis courts and as a playground for athletes.

North of 155th Street, comprising Fort Washington Park, Fort Tryon Park, Highbridge Park and Inwood Hill Park. (500 acres)
