West Farms Rapids

The park is closed. This project will provide a vital link to the Bronx River Greenway, a continuous bikeway system stretching from Westchester County to the mouth of the Bronx River. The 2-acre riverfront park will feature a bikeway/pedestrian path in the park and a link along 180th Street to the existing and future Greenway to the north and south. The design includes new game tables, a butterfly garden, an amphitheater, and a canoe launch. Upgraded utilities include new water service for accessible drinking fountains and irrigation. New lighting throughout the park will improve security. Entrance plazas at East 180th Street and East Tremont Avenue will celebrate the entry into the park, provide seating, and guide bicyclists through the Greenway. Please pardon our appearance.
Anticipated Completion: Fall 2013
