I took advantage of a super sunny Sunday a few weeks ago to finally explore Highbridge Park in Manhattan. The park sits along the Harlem River in the Washington Heights neighborhood. The hilly park has several playgrounds, gorgeous trails, and lots of rocky vistas. The water tower stands at the top of the park, overlooking the High Bridge, which is the oldest standing bridge in the city and connects Manhattan to Lower Bronx.
The park also houses one of the many free public pools. The Highbridge Pool is the largest public pool in Manhattan. The pool was built on the site of the old Highbridge Reservoir and opened in the summer of 1936. It's probably best known for being the pool in the movie version of In The Heights from a few summers ago!
