Stopped in on a Friday afternoon for a quick visit and enjoyed it thoroughly. Manged to learn a bit history and had great views of the bridge. Best part was there were not a lot of people which made it even better. Visited both the upper lot and lower lot.

Very restful by the Hudson. I brought my hammock and just chilled for the afternoon under a beautiful tree. There pay meter parking.

It was the first time I'd ever been to New Jersey and was taken to this gorgeous spot, with fantastic views of the George Washington Bridge. There were plenty of benches, to sit and enjoy the views of the NYC skyline, while reading a book or even having a picnic. Parking is super cheap, and well worth the money. It was super quiet when we visited, with plenty of parking. I would HIGHLY recommend this place, to sit and watch the world go by for a while.

First time in this area of the park and I was in awe 🥰! Very clean, lots of picnic tables, plenty of green grass, a nice playground and an amazing view.

This place is absolutely beautiful. I use to train here becase is hilly, There are places you can walk and there are some pretty challenging hiking trails as well. Must hike Giant Stairs Trail at Palisades Interstate Park - Steep / Fun / Great View of Hudson River!
