The newly refurbished and expanded park is a fantastic place to take in the amazing view of the Hudson River, the Bear Mountain Bridge and the Hudson Valley. The park offers stunning views, lots of park benches and picnic tables, art installations, a walking and bike path, a children's playground. There's even a cruise company company that sails from the park offering short river cruises that offer wine and some with food as well. You'll find plenty of locals and visitors with kids and pets in tow strolling along the river. The park is a must see on any visit to Peekskill.
