City Walks Addendum: Van Cortlandt Park
The only Bronx walk in the City Walks cards that I can recall was Arthur Avenue, aka the Little Italy of the Bronx. But there's certainly much more in the Bronx worth seeing if you have the time. The borough has the world's largest metropolitan zoo, a 250 acre botanical garden, a connected island with great wildlife and beachfront, and a minor-league baseball stadium. But if you're really adventurous, take the 1 train to the end of the line and check out Van Cortlandt Park, which is over 300 acres larger than Central Park. Its northern end sits on the Westchester County border. The park has many criss-crossing paths, and there is no one route that is best. Definitely let yourself wander. I would definitely make my way to the Putnam Trail, an unpaved path just west of the nearby lake and golf course. Along this path, you can see several abandoned structures, including the shells of the old train stations that once ran north into Yonkers. If you hit Westchester County, turn back... you've gone too far! In the southwest area of the park, you can find the Van Cortlandt House, the borough's oldest standing building. More info: here. If you're looking for some Bronx flavor in your New York walks, this park is a good place to check out.
