Took advantage of the beautiful weather and played some pickle ball on the tennis courts. Park is well kept. Bathrooms were locked which was kind of a bummer but it is out of season. Used to play softball here on a local team and fields were always clean and taken care of as well.
I haven’t been here in years, so today I decided to go with my 12 year old daughter. It’s a nice walk, but it’s very creepy. We saw about six to seven vehicles, each having one man driving, no one else in the vehicle, driving up and down the road. They would drive, park the car, get in the car, drive a little more, park again. It was the weirdest thing ever. There was literally just older men there, driving up and down. It didn’t feel very safe, and I don’t recommend going alone.
Super easy hike with a lot of trails that shoot off in all different directions. Beautiful view and great for people with disabilities and dogs/kids. Theres a playground, a pavilion, bathrooms, picnic tables, garbage cans and the trail up to the tower is paved so you can drive up there if you dont feel like walking. Great place to have a picnic!
Excellent view! Worth the drive. Unfortunately there are no hiking trails that we could find, even though theres plenty of room for several. There may be some, but we could not find and theres no map available. Note: to get to the road to the summit, enter on the northeast side of the park.
I have hiked a good portion of this park. I personally have not run into any miscreants, but Ive heard stories from other locals. I did run into a local walking two HUGE German shepherds without a leash. I was nearly attacked. Also, look out for the speeding motocross bikers. They race through there from time to time. You can drive to the peak to enjoy the view. The Hudson does look pretty amazing from this location.

2022-07-02Very nice park which offers a variety of activities to visitors. There are courts for tennis, basketball, and fields for soccer, softball and baseball. A narrow footbridge spans a crystalline brook. There are stationary bathrooms, if open, and plenty of open field for flying kites and such. Two parking lots. In July 2022, the Orange County Libertarian Party appeared at this location for Newburgh Community Day.

2022-01-25Ive hiked here all 4 seasons. Park at the bottom and you can follow the path pavement or take a trail on the left. Ive had picnics here, there are stone ruins if you can find them. Ive also gotten lost here lol so if you have an app that marks your trail or for where you parked your car use it. Bunch of different spots you can hike up to but it does lead to the fire tower. Nice view. Can be a peaceful spot but also gets busy in the summer. Good spot to eat sandwiches, no matter which path you end up on.Tiny road! So watch out for cars coming the other way and people/dogs if youre driving up

2021-09-11We always go to this park. I see a tree fell, probably due to Hurricane Ida, but the park is usually tidy. My dogs love the kiddie pool!
