Description

Scenic Hudson RiverWalk is a planned 51-mile riverwalk bio-corridor and “greenway” stretching from Yonkers to the border of Putnam County. The portion in Tarrytown is 0.6 miles, providing native plants, green infrastructure to manage stormwater, and shoreline stabilization.

Scenic Hudson partnered with the village, county and developer Natural RE/sources to turn this longtime industrial site into a waterfront park offering magnificent views stretching from the Manhattan skyline to the Tappan Zee Bridge. Features include a series of grass terraces and lawns, and an "eco-corridor" filled with native plants.
