Van Cortlandt Park · Directions

Van Cortlandt Park combines a lake, wetlands, woodland, playgrounds, sports, golf, a track, and an extensive trail network at the northern edge of the Bronx.

Trail surfaces and grades differ by named route, so the park record does not promise one universally easy path. Golf, track events, construction, and recreation facilities have separate operating details.
