    River side front

    This is a really large park next to the train station. You have to pay for parking but have in /out privelages. The restrooms are plentiful and the one I used next to the beach/bbq are was clean. You can swim at the beach for minimal fee, you can bbq, hike, bike and fish here. This is my second time visiting and will definitely keep it on my places to hang out, great for large groups too. There's camping for RV and tents with reservations. I didn't do this but we drove by and saw the area

    This park is good depending on the reason you went here. We were looking for a place to walk & be outside with a water view & this place fits our needs. Entrance is 10 bucks & another fee for swimming. The swimming area is small, lines are long & very crowded. It's not really a beach, its the Hudson River!!! To wade in it probably okey, but ill be wary to swim on it!!! For walking & the water view i say this place is worth visiting.

    My friend and I enjoyed this tranquil, beautiful park. We enjoyed our hiking loop trail. We got to see the grasslands, the foliage of autumn, and the serene Hudson River. It was a remarkable experience. I would say it's an easy trail to navigate.

    The facilities are immaculate, the staff is friendly and the location is amazing. We camped there one night on our way north. The attendant was helpful, efficient and covered all of the details. The other campers were friendly and quiet.

    Spent Memorial Day Weekend here with my family and we brought the dog. The beach wasn't open at the time, but we got to enjoy relaxing and watching people fish and have their picnics in the fields. There was also a space for the ice cream truck that came in and attracted a very long line. I could tell that I wasn't the only person having a great time which was good. I would come here again, but I would love to see the beach next time.

    Depending on what your looking for, this may or may not be the place for you. We came for the beach so I'll only review the beach. One word...GROSS. I see poop (EVERYWHERE!!!) in the sand ( if you can call it that, since it is basically gravel), and the smell of the beach is not soo pleasant. I won't be coming back! But I guess you can't beat the price. $10 for parking ($5 if you have a Westchester parks pass) and beach access ($4 for adult and $3 for kids). DID I MENTION SHIT IS EVERYWHERE?

    We loved this area! Perfect for our camping adventure! Clean sites, friendly staff, only 3-4 minutes from a train station to the city! Highly recommend!

    After living in Westchester County for over a decade, decided to visit Croton Point Park for a long walk along the river in July. Croton Point Park is a beautiful gem. Spectacular views of the Hudson. Pic uploaded. From the southern point, you can see the Tappan Zee Bridge. Abundant picnic tables suitable for families and large groups. The walk from one end of the park to the other is just over 1 mile. You can also get to the park via Metro North RR. It's free if you walk in. Gripe #1: Pool was closed in middle of summer. What's up? Gripe #2: Parking fee. Already pay exorbitant Westchester County taxes. Feels like double-dipping into my pocketbook. If you think this review with photos is useful, funny or cool, I'd appreciate your feedback by clicking below.

    Just a stunning park with an expansively glorious view of the Hudson River. Drove through on a late winter day and I am making a mental note to make sure I get here on a warm spring day it would be splendid! Better yet I need to make the Annual Hudson River Sloop Clearwater Festival next summer no excuses!!!

    Beautiful park. The playgrounds are still closed in September, but still charge $10.00 to get in. So if you have children under 5, there's not a lot to do in the park for them unless you want them to get wet on the beach.

    This is one of those parks that makes me wish I were a resident of Westchester County, as I'd probably take more advantage of it during the season. At $10 entry fee for nonresidents, it's not a casual visit sort of place. Still, it's a really gorgeous park, with a section that's obviously an old landfill, latticed with hiking and cycling trails. There's a beach section, and a shoreline meander spot as well. I didn't go to the nature center any of the times I was there, nor to the model plane airport. There's a campground here as well, from looking at it, it looks like it has some really nice camping spots. This is a really huge park, so there's a lot to do here, definitely deserving of multiple visits, especially if you're a resident!

    Beautiful park where you can enjoy the water, trails, long walks, BBQs, etc. etc. I saw Bill Clinton walking his dog here :)

    It has good views of the Hudson river on both sides, and fishing is most definitely one of the main activities.

    I seriously adore this island…read more Small parking area off the main road and its legit in such a random spot that it gets very little traffic which i really appreciate. You walk along the inlet and up a hill, eventually you will on top of the 'mountain' that is also the metro north train tunnel. You can go around one of the fences and sit directly above the tunnel but we aware-- there is no additional fence before the drop. And if you drop..well, um. You dead. But otherwise its super cool to watch the train approach and feel it rumble underneath you. Going along a little further up the trail you will come to an outcropping of an old foundation and what is left of a fireplace and chimney. I believe this was one of the guest houses or the daughter homes belonging to the McAndrew's estate that is directly opposite the island. (That is another great hike with lots of ruins including an old race track, ice house and some old foundations.) Eventually you will start downhill and get to the waterfront which is gorgeous and has a great view of Haverstraw. It's a rocky area but can be traversed with slight caution, in order to skip rocks or fish or even hang out in the water. There's a beat up picnic table or two and some benches around in case you feel like packing a picnic. Please be sure to pick up after yourself though and keep the preserve clean for all! Cans are usually by the exit. No bathrooms either so be one with the call of nature.
