“Containing one of the highest points in Manhattan, Fort Tryon Park towers above the Hudson River, offering magnificent views of the Palisades and the lower Hudson Valley. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., son of the co-designer of Central and Prospect Parks, and his half-brother John Charles Olmsted spent four years transforming the site’s rocky topography and thin soil into a manicured landscape. The Olmsted Brothers designed Fort Tryon Park with promenades, terraces, wooded slopes, and eight miles of pedestrian paths, carefully preserving open areas and the spectacular views of the Hudson and the Palisades.”

 

Fort Tryon Park Conservancy - The Fort Tryon Park Conservancy’s mission is to restore, preserve, and enhance this historic and scenic landmark for the benefit and use of the surrounding community and all New Yorkers and visitors.
