Overview – Hilltop views of the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge make Fort Tryon irresistible to city-weary New Yorkers from all five boroughs. The narrow stone paths are a far cry from busy city pavement, and the sound of birds almost drowns out the traffic on Broadway.

Editor's Tips
- Perfect for Dining Alfresco:

- Volunteer Opportunities:
- Members of Friends of Fort Tryon Park act as advocates for the park, help with fundraising and create a calendar of events.

Beautiful scenic escape

You can't beat the beautiful hillside views of the Hudson in this park. I live in WaHi and this urban escape is one of Manhattan's best kept secrets - spectacular views, near the Cloisters and not mobbed with people. Nice!
- Pros: Views of Hudson, Peaceful

Memorable, quiet relective city site
by richvc
This is one place where all can enjoy a quiet and reflective time. At the same time you can lay back and sense a time & space from long ago at the Cloisters, smell the aroma and sense the beauty of nature.

- Pros: Quiet & Scenic, Fantastic museum, Inexpensive city day
- Cons: Not enough eateries

Peace and quiet
by sylvieif
Just a few nannies with strollers, and a couple of art students trying to sketch a landscape, this is the most peaceful park in the city, and the best thing is that it's close to the Cloisters.
- Pros: Peaceful, Scenic
- Cons: Far from midtown
