Places to Go and Things to Do at the Bronx River
Make the Bronx River waterfront your next destination! Here are some places to visit and fun things to do while exploring the Bronx River Greenway.
Featured Bronx River Parks
This park is well known as the home of the Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Gardens but there's so much more to discover! Did you know there are waterfalls and a river forest in the park? Come check it out!
More than most parks along the river, this park tells the story of the Bronx's transformation into our city's greenest borough. Here, you can still see structures from what used to be an old concrete plant.
Relax in the garden or venture out on the water from the canoeing/kayaking dock. This park is perfect for the whole family, with spots for picnics, performances, and fun at the river-themed playground.
At the mouth of the Bronx River is this 205-acre park with an amphitheater, ball fields, a running track, playgrounds, and a newly-restored salt marsh that helps to clean and filter the Bronx River.
The Future of the Bronx River Greenway
When it opens, the Bronx River House will become the new home of the Bronx River Alliance and the greenest building in the Bronx, with a nature classroom, a community meeting space, and a boat house!
Once completed, West Farms Rapids will provide a continuous trail at West Farms, between Starlight Park and River Park.
