It is New York City’s largest public garden with unrestricted access. Walk among the lush greenery, flanked by historic stone walls and remnants of Cornelius G.K. Billings’ early 1900s estate.

Enjoy breathtaking views of the Hudson River while discovering over 30 varieties of heaths and heathers, whose blooms and vibrant foliage bring year-round color to this extraordinary space.
