Hunts Point Riverside Park, Waterfront park in Hunts Point, The Bronx, US
Hunts Point Riverside Park is a waterfront park along a river section in the Bronx with various facilities for recreation and water activities. The park features a fishing pier, boat launch, amphitheater, spray play area, and walking paths along the shoreline.
The site was once an illegal dumping ground before being transformed into a park through a major development project in the 2000s. This transformation made it the first riverside park built in this area in several decades.
The place serves as a hub for boat-building and rowing groups led by local organizations during warmer months. People gather to learn hands-on skills and spend time together on the water.
The park is easily accessible by public transit and sits within an area with direct access to local green networks. Visitors should prepare for variable weather since the location sits along an open waterfront zone.
The park was recognized by an organization that honors sustainable urban development for its efforts to revitalize this formerly neglected area and return it to community use. This project demonstrates how waterfronts can be completely rebuilt from the ground up.
