Van Der Donck Park

Beautiful little space to zone out with train station, public library at one end and multiple food joints alongside. Eye pleasing greenery and sound of gushing water

Great Views & Scenic Overlooks One of the standout features is the vista: from higher points in the park you can see the Hudson River and the Palisades. Many reviewers praise the views, especially at sunset. Wanderlog +1 Natural / Forested Setting It feels like an “urban forest” — lots of trees, shaded trails, a sense of being close to nature even though you're in the city. For people wanting a green, quiet escape, this is a plus.

Small park it was not busy at all. Best part is the small river that passes through it.parking was easy not expensive. Metro north Station across the street. Which is the yonkers stop on the hudson line. It has decent amount of benches. Only few steopz away from the hudson river water front. Unfortunately it does not have a playground however there are a few Porta potties across the street by the train station.

It is a really beautiful little park with big important feaures located right across the Yonkers station on Buena Vista Avenue. It is where the Saw Mill River egress into the Hudson River along the tidal pool. You will see ducks, turtles, birds, fish, and other wild life, swimming and basking in the sun. Other main attractions are the "Open Classroom" arena and the "Sound Bridge". A destination most definitely worth your time. I recommend a leisurely visit to this historic area of Yonkers, NY

Lovely place. Like all parks expect ants. Birds prolific, river interesting
