Spanning more than 2,700 acres, Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx is the city’s largest park. It offers park goers an expansive outdoor area that will suit anyone’s fancy. The park, once unused land in the countryside surrounded by a forest, showcases the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum. The Museum, a Greek Revival-style home, offers tours, field trips, and private events. The park is an ideal venue for equestrians with miles of scenic bridle paths, along with trails for hikers and bikers. The splendor of the park continues with Orchard Beach, two-golf courses, and numerous sports fields.
