Van Cortlandt Park is a beautiful historic 1,146-acre park located in the northwest Bronx in New York City and is the city’s third largest park. It is managed and owned by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, with the help from the Van Cortlandt Park Conservancy and the Friends of Van Cortlandt Park. The park has a range of sports facilities such as two golf courses, several miles of running trails, as well as facilities for swimming, soccer, baseball, tennis, cross-country running, horseback riding, and cricket. The park also has five popular hiking trails and its natural features include Van Cortlandt Lake, the biggest freshwater lake in the Bronx, Tibbetts Brook, and a lush old-growth oak forest. The Van Cortlandt House Museum, the oldest building in the Bronx, is located in the park and so is the Van Cortlandt Golf Course, the oldest American public golf course.
