Pelham Bay Park

Orchard Beach, forest, wetlands, trails, play, and sports make Pelham Bay a borough-scale nature destination rather than one compact park stop.

Swimming and lifeguard coverage are seasonal; verify beach operations before entering the water.

Pelham Bay Park · Directions

Pelham Bay Park combines Orchard Beach with forest, salt-marsh and lagoon landscapes, trails, playgrounds, sports, golf, and historic sites across New York City's largest park.

Its destinations are widely separated. Swimming, lifeguard coverage, golf, historic access, and other facilities are seasonal or separately scheduled, so choose one area before arriving.
