What a hidden gem in NY, a gorgeous walk through a wooded area with stunning views at the top of the hill right over Manhattan and beyond.
A quiet release from the bustle below with lots of birdlife and squirrels to stop and watch.

I've lived adjacent to this beautiful park for 23+ years. Unless you want to walk up the biggest hill ever, take the A train to 190th Street. Follow signs for the elevator to the Cloisters. You will arrive at Margaret Corbin Circle and can enter the most easily walkable part of the park. If you wish, you may transfer at the top of the stairs and to the right, for a bus that will drop you off at the Cloisters Museum.

This gorgeous park is located in the upper reaches of Manhattan and thus a bit less utilized than some of the other parks, but is no less amazing for it. There are plenty of walking paths, gardens, and history throughout the park, all of which contribute to a calm, serene outdoor experience. There's also an interesting nature sanctuary, and the entire park serves as a wildlife habitat for both birds and earthbound animals. The architecture in the park (benches and small structures) are consciously created and distributed throughout the park to add to the calming effects. The Cloisters, which are part of the Met, are also located in this park and are worth their own visit.

Beautiful park! Gentle asphalt paths. I went back for more of The Cloisters and the Fort Tryon gardens. Very doable as a senior with fragile knees.

……the Fort Tryon Is an unique park in Northern Manhattan; a completely different park to any other park in New York City.
…..there is a mix of gardens, exotic trees, history, and culture; all these elements plus a fabulous view of the majestic Hudson River, and the Palisades on the background.

We walked through the park to get from The Met Cloisters down to the street level. The views were beautiful and the park was so peaceful. We enjoyed our leisurely stroll.

This is a huge park at the upper tip of Manhattan where you will find the Cloisters, which is part of the Met Museum. Go to the Cloisters and walk through the park.

Very pretty park. Hilly, but the hills are gradual, not too steep. There are steps if you’d like to take them, but lots of sloping paths to get around them. Near the cloisters, reviewed separately. Pretty garden space called the Billings Lawn. I went here to see the Billings Arcade, remnants of a grand mansion that used to reside here (just under the lawn). Pretty views of the river. Lots of places to rest, sit, reflect. Nice urban oasis, especially as part of a day at the Cloisters!

I love Fort Tyron Park in Upper Manhattan. It is the most beautiful park in New York City with its rolling hills, beautiful gardens, views of the Hudson River and the home of the Cloisters Museum. It has so much to offer.
The nice thing about the park is that it is nice to visit at any time of the year. The views of the Hudson River from the paths gives it an appeal that no other park in the City has even Central Park.
Make an excuse to visit the Cloisters on a nice afternoon and just walk around Ann Loftus Park and watch the kids play and the families talk. Then take the paths up and explore the hills. You will be stuck by its beauty.

What is the easiest to get to Fort Tryon Park, by train or by car? Is it easy to find a parking spot at the park?

I was staying in Manhattan. I took the subway there and a bus back. There is a bus stop right at the Cloisters.
Can you bike in the park?

Yes, you can bike on the roads, but not the walking paths.
