Loved this place so much to do over there. You can be a professional hiker, or you can walk to enjoy the sound of nature and the site seen. It is a dog friendly park. I saw many dogs during my walk.  The park has programs  each month, such as  birds watching, sunset yoga ,  moon watching, and plant pressing workshop, and I'm so excited joining one of them. It is a huge park. Definitely, you need a map to walk around.  Playground: No playgrounds  Restrooms: There is restrooms in the parking area  Dog-friendliness: It is a dog friendly park  Picnic area: I saw tables here or there during my walk

This park, with its central Swan Lake should be named Turtle Lake, is beautiful in all seasons. Great place to walk and talk with friends. Free parking for seniors use driver's license in the machine.

Beautiful with extensive, well marked trails.  Still it’s easy to get lost. Down load the Avenza Maps app and get the trail map for this park. It’ll show you where you are and makes it MUCH easier to find your way around.

Nice Hudson river bankside well spread out lawn and beautiful place to enjoy picnic or family time. There is fun and lots of enjoyment for children. Several wooden table sets are kept for people to seat and have meal too. Very clean, well maintained.

What a wonderful park! Beautiful, well-kept, and marked trails. Close to Yonkers in Westchester County. Hiking is very easy to moderate difficulty, only a few hundred feet elevation if you want. Some nice features include ponds, glacial erratics, and meadows. Lots of wildlife, birds if you're into that kind of thing.  Restrooms: Clean and easily accessible.  Dog-friendliness: Leash required. State park police will ticket you if not.  Picnic area: Idk. It&#39;s a picnic area with tables and BBQ facilities.

Rockefeller State Park is beautiful. It's pretty clean. They have a Carry In Carry Out rule, BUT do have a doggie garbage in the beginning of the trail. PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PUP. My dog and I enjoyed the Overlook Trail and the Ash Loop Trail. It wasn't too crowded when we got there at 945am on Monday. The only thing I wish I had was a bucket hat with the mosquito net attached. These bugs are disrespectful LOL!  Other than that, it was nice, peaceful and serene... Definitely want to go back. It's $6 to park unless you have the Empire Pass which I'm looking into. Go! Enjoy the garden that volunteers take care of. Enjoy the lake views and rolling hills.

Love hiking here. Many trail options. Park closes at sun down. There is a public restroom that could use more cleaning. Parking costs money. The park has a "take in, take out" policy, so no trash cans; anything you bring must leave in your car. Great lake view.

Love this place. Great for families. Easy trails.

This NY State park used to be the grounds of the Rockfeller estate that lead from the Hudson riverside to the farm in Pocantici Hills. It is an excellent trials park, with a lake and lots of wildlife. The meandering trail alongside a brook on the south side is especially gorgeous. Dogs are allowed on leashes, the parking is paid, the entrance is free and there is a visitors center.

I was surprised to find an art gallery next to the visitors center. The was an artist setting up paintings and drawings of plants. It was a lovely space to see this work out in the woods of this lovely park.  I would recommend this as a great pla e to see the local park and artwork.
