Great trails, plenty of different ways to go. Make sure you are ready for some climbing. Plenty of technical portions. Jumps roots rock clubs twisty trails. Something for everyone. You must be skilled if you are riding a hardtail, not for the weak.

Not the most I interesting park when we went. Still nice though. Probably better in the summer the have a pool and looks like they are building a second one. Lots of dirt bike tracks on the trails, which probably isnt legal but the trail flows like a track. Would be nice for mountain biking.

Good spot for some light hiking, mountain biking, or trail running. Never too busy, but has enough people that you are not the only ones on the trails. The trails for the most part are very easy to follow and clearly marked.

My favorite pool! We always have a fun time! There are plenty of places to set your belongings. Umbrellas and trees offer shaded spaces, but Im all about the sun! Perfect for kids of all ages!

If you wanna be ALONE with nature this is the place to do it! Paths are unlit and unpaved so try not to go after 5 PM. Great workout if you have a mountain bike or just want a challenging hike. Can take up to 2 hours to navigate!

Today, I had went to spring ridge pool with my brother and my friend, and we went to practice swimming, and in one separate part of our time there, there was this one kind lifeguard who had gave us a warning to be careful on the deep end until we had learned to swim. So later on after that, I had learned to swim. From there, I had asked my brother if he can swim with me across the pool, he accepts and so as we are swimming across, he makes it to the other side and as I’m swimming, nearly at the other side already, I started getting tired of pushing, so I started failing the swim and drowning. As I’m struggling in the water, I’m calling out for help from the lifeguard that’s sitting literal feet away from where I was struggling, and he does absolutely nothing to help. He just stared at me, and also my brother who was calling out for help. My brother and some random guy, had to pull me out themselves, I’m very thankful to have come out of that alive, but that lifeguard really could’ve done his job. If anyone has had an issue similar with a lifeguard there, please be open.

Some trail are fun but there are no berms which forces you to slow down on every turn and it lacks jumps and some trails force you to get of your bike but nonetheless it is still fun

What I like about this pool is that its almost never over crowded. Its mostly families with small children. The pool is always clean and the staff is very friendly. Both pools are now open, although the diving section is still not open.

Great park of Westchester county with plenty of parking and space to ride a your mountain bikes bird watching and hiking if your into those kind of things, the park also provides grills for the family get together BBQs, there is also a play ground close by the picnic and grill area but the pool there is only for Westchester county residents

Review №51

Nice biking trail network of decently marked loop trails that you can combine to make quite an epic ride. Trails are flowy with tech features thrown in to keep it fun. Quite a few options for drops and jumps and some extremely technical stuff that can be avoided easily. Great ride, will be back!

Review №53

This review is about Sprain Ridge Park as a place to hike, not the pool or sports/picnic facilities.The park occupies a moderately rugged and rocky spine running North-South between the NY Thruway and the Sprain Brook Parkway. It is crisscrossed with trails designed for mountain biking, but these trails are also good for hiking. The up and down nature of the terrain differentiates the park from the better known but flatter trails like the County Trailways and the OCA. The mountain biking layout with numerous turns and switchbacks means that the uphill portions tend to be easier than typical trails meant for walkers, i.e. not that much straight up the hill. As a result these trails are great if you want to burn some calories but dont want to endure long uphill slogs. Youll get some nice views from the ridge top, and most of the trails are well shaded, making it a pleasant place to be on hotter sunny days. There is ample parking and trailheads are located on the lot edges.I gave it one less star as only some of the main trails are clearly marked.

Another great hiking trails near NYC. I recommend you park your car in Picnic Area 1 & 4 since you can cover most of the trails from there.I stopped by Stone Ridge Park after finishing watching the baseball game, so it was kinda late when I got there. Keep in mind that the park closes at 7pm in April & May. I got there around 5, so I had like 1 hour and 45 minutes to hike.So I started from Erics over the Log trail and kept hiking south past the stone bridge to Thompson trail -- it started getting strenuous from there. I then took a shortcut to South Loop trail and started hiking up north to Otter Ramble trail back to the parking lot.

So if you think youre lost, just keep looking for I-87 or Sprain Parkway which are on either side of the park and go from there. Have fun hiking!

Review №58

This park has improved a lot over the years. The new BBQ pit, benches, play area, and fields make this a great park for the area. Only minus one star for not keeping up the trails as they should. The trails themselves are a beautiful U loop through the woods across wooden planks and across streams. A nice easy trail to dip into for a 30 min walk.

La
Review №59

Enjoyed our hike, though the paths are geared a bit more for riding than being on foot. A little challenging to follow the trails in late autumn with all the leaf cover, especially as the trails tend to loop around in spots, but it is a nice woodsy walk tucked in the midst of things.

Great place to grill, large picnics areas to accommodate small to large groups. Hikers and bikers would have a ball here, its massive! Playground is small but nice and modern. Lots of parking. Child pool area seems amazing, cant wait to check that part out during the summer. Lots of exotic looking birds and scenery for great pictures.

Pool is clean. Graduate gets up to 4ft deep. Lots of lounging space in Grass or on concrete. Kiddie section separate from pool. Changing rooms are like new! And a LOT of space. Only $5 for Park pass holder. Only cost my man and I $9 to go to this section. The rest of the trails and picnic areas are free. White trail at beginning is about 45 minutes walking although usually used for bikes. Good interval up and downs workout.

Wow...It is beautiful!! A new gigantic lap pool. Not open in the morning? 11 - 6:30pm! Why? Need 6:00am!!@ Fees each day? What!!!! Food concession. Cash only! Reasonable. They need lifeguards. Great family place in Yonkers. It is opposite the Saint Andrews Golf Country Club. When the pool was open, this place was rockn. Trail for bikes. Walking. Family barbecues are allowed. Peaceful, quiet setting for everyone. I grew up here and it has free parking. Call the number to obtain specific information needed and to book events. It is a beautiful setting. Bugs on muggy days. Closes at dusk. Enjoy this season everyone. If you havent done yet, go and explore. Jenna is a sweetheart!
