Ferry Point Park

Ferry Point Park is a public park in The Bronx that stretches along the East River with baseball fields, basketball courts, and walking paths throughout its grounds. The space includes designated areas for fishing and family activities spread across approximately 24 acres.

The park was established in 1940 on the site of a former ferry terminal that once connected The Bronx to other parts of New York. This conversion transformed a transportation hub into a public recreational space for the community.

The park serves as a gathering place where residents celebrate local holidays and spend time with family and friends throughout the year. The waterfront section draws people who want to step away from the city streets and enjoy a view of the river.

The park is open from sunrise to sunset and has clearly marked areas for different activities. Wear sturdy shoes if you plan to explore the walking paths and waterfront sections throughout the grounds.

From the waterfront areas, visitors can see the Throgs Neck Bridge and watch boats moving along the East River. This is one of the few spots in the area where you can take in this landmark bridge and river activity up close.
