Liberty Park

Clean park with picnic tables and a lake for fishing and kayaking theres a boat launch (permit required for kayack) but no one is there to check at this time. I was here last week to film part of an independent movie in the higher trail . It has some steep parts and lots of stepping stones. There was also an organized group of park clean up kids and adults picking up trash and having a day of it. I liked the park!!

Liberty Park is one of the loveliest parked that’s tucked at the entrance to White Plains as you are leaving West Harrison. The park is situated around Silver Lake snd for some reason is not populated with visitors. There’s a small parking lot with lots of picnic tables.

Love this place and always took extra miles when ever I went to this park. Carry water bottle and food stuff with you

Good park. There are multiple trails through the heights above the lake and you can find the old foundations and stone walls from centuries ago. The trails are not well marked so remember your route in so you don’t get lost. Beautiful, large healthy trees that have stood the tests of time are all over. Beech, locust, oaks & pines to name a few. There is a picnic area at the end of the main road that has a decent view of the lake with picnic tables.

The real draw here is the dam and its a DAM good reason to come here (pun intended). Its a fantastic walk around and across the dam. The structure and architecture is amazing and the view of the reservoir is really serene and beautiful.

Other than the dam, what I really enjoy are the biking, running, walking paths and trails that lead to the dam. You can take the Bronx expressway trail from way south and end up at the dam and its a great incentive.

There's a huge green space for all sorts of activities and a nice kiddie park for the children. Really, its nothing spectacular but its nice. The town of Vahalla is very quaint and cute and has some nice eateries nearby worth checking out.

There's also neat festivals that go down here and the July 3rd (not 4th) fireworks are always fun to see.

Overall, a great place to visit and the marvel over this beautiful construction.
