About
Renovated park featuring an outdoor Olympic-style swimming pool, playgrounds and baseball fields, as well as a dirt bike trail and a bridge to the Bronx.
Specific pool temperatures for Highbridge Park's outdoor public pool are typically not published. As a standard NYC Parks outdoor pool, it is unheated and its temperature fluctuates with ambient summer conditions, generally offering a refreshing experience.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The park is a large, linear destination, highly recommended for walking, running, and biking, offering extensive paths and greenways. Many areas are secluded, forested, and shaded, providing a sense of solitude—some paths allow for long stretches without seeing others, including a quiet graffiti spot under the Washington Bridge. Visitors appreciate being immersed in nature, enjoying views of the Harlem River, and accessing the car-free High Bridge. While some views are industrial, the park's 'crusty' charm is noted. It's easily accessible by subway. Users should be aware of occasional homeless individuals (common in NYC) and small, harmless snakes. Some suggest more beautification to enhance its destination appeal.

Like nobody knows about this place! if you want a spot to be alone this is def it. This park is mostly ( the path i use anyway) forest) so it hides a lot of direct sunlight. The are a number of paths and some are very remote and one may not see anyone for 10-20 minutes. There is an area underneath the washington bridge that has grafitti which is very quiet. If you were on america’s most wanted and you were in nyc this would be the place to hide!

There are two different parts of this park. Both are so lovely and I grew up with going to them. Be aware of a few bums, but that’s completely normal in NY. Also, be aware of snakes. Don’t think they’re harmful and they’re also very small. I’ve only seen them once (today). Its in the park that is mostly just a trail, no playground.

Old park but still fun and good spot to warmup. A little crusty but thats what makes it cool.

I always enjoy visiting and walking, biking or running down the paths of this enormous linear park. Being engulfed in nature is relaxing and worth a visit. You see views of the Harlem River and get on High Bridge which connects Manhattan and the Bronx (car-free). The greenway offers access dedicated space for biking.

Nice place to walk over even on a rainy day. The view is not scenic more industrial views if you like that kind of stuff. Interesting history associated with the bridge. I wish they would beautify both sides more to make it more a destination from both sides. Easy to get to via subway. I recommend this nice walk over!
