Entrance at Margaret Corbin Circle
Fort Washington Avenue and Cabrini Boulevard
Fort Tryon Park is a landmarked 67-acre park designed by the Olmsted brothers. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. presented it to the city as a gift in 1935. The most notable horticultural feature is the three-acre Heather Garden, which has year-round interest and panoramic views of the Hudson River. Not far from the Heather Garden is the Alpine Garden, an intimate 3-acre garden and collection of stone staircases that traverse the slope between the Cloisters and Broadway.
The Fort Tryon Park Trust provides vital long-term care and maintenance of the Heather Garden and Fort Tryon Park.
