Fort Washington Park, located along the Hudson River in Manhattan, offers a serene and scenic escape from the city's bustle. The park is known for its historical significance, being the site of a Revolutionary War fort, and its picturesque views of the New Jersey Palisades and the George Washington Bridge. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, from hiking and sports to simply taking in the views of the Little Red Lighthouse, a famous landmark featured in a children's book.
The park spans 160 acres, featuring dramatic cliffs, meadows, and wooded areas, making it a haven for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. Recent renovations have enhanced the park's accessibility and amenities, including new pathways and a renovated playground.
While it doesn't have a traditional beach, the park offers a waterfront area with beautiful views, making it a unique spot for relaxation and exploration.
