Bronx Park, Urban park in The Bronx, US.

Bronx Park is an urban park along the Bronx River featuring woodlands, meadows, and waterways that support diverse plant and animal life. The grounds contain both natural habitats and cultivated garden areas, offering spaces for walking and exploration.

The New York State Legislature authorized the park's creation in 1888, with substantial land acquisitions completed between 1888 and 1889. Its founding reflected the growing belief that cities needed green spaces for their residents.

The New York Botanical Garden within the park draws visitors to explore themed gardens and seasonal displays. People come here to spend time among flowering plants and green spaces, making it a place where locals and travelers connect with nature.

Multiple entrances lead to walking trails, sports facilities, and picnic areas where visitors can spend time outdoors. Public transportation makes it easy to reach the park from different parts of New York City.

The Lorillard Snuff Mill, situated within the botanical garden section, is the oldest tobacco processing building in the United States. Its presence reminds visitors of the region's industrial past.
