The Bronx River Park in Mount Vernon, NY is an 807-acre paved linear park that is Westchester County's oldest park. It was created as an extension of the Bronx River Parkway, which was the first parkway in the nation. The park features ponds, wooden footbridges, and a variety of native trees and shrubs, making it a popular destination for biking, walking, running, and nature study.

The park is known for its historical significance, being one of the first linear parks in the country and the first official Westchester County park. It spans 13.2 miles from the New York City line to the Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla, and its establishment led to the creation of the county's park system, which now includes over 50 parks covering nearly 18,000 acres.
