Van Der Donck Park

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.

Beautiful place to take pictures of different events at different angles. While there I saw a wedding party taking pictures overlooking the bridge and the water stream. The park is beautiful, calm and relaxing. Fine restaurants, train station, banks, fast food restaurant, are just a walk away.

This is a very interesting urban park with a rich history and a lot of beautiful things to see. Really appreciated the mix of public art and seating surrounding the river, plus they have a lot of useful plaques around explaining the history of the area. Highly recommended!
