I love to go to Concreat Park because it's so easy to go to compared to my other two favorite parks (Starlight and Soundview Park); whenever I am on foot that is. I love to sit by the water or stand and just wacth as the water passes along; my favorite is when the sun is out and reflecting off of the water. I love zooming through the bike path and how fast my bike can go (if no one is walking along it of course). I love the gardens and all the pretty flowers but nothing beats my favorite sunflower gardens; ugghh I love them and have tons of pics of them. It's a great park to ride around, go on a date, hang with friends, or to simply relax and taking in nature. Last but not least, I think the structures that still remain from the concrete manufacturing company is so cool!!! Also, that name of the park is unique to said structures. Ohhh.... it's also cool to see the Amtrak zoom by lol

It is an interesting place and a great little park where green space is desperately needed. For me it was my destination for a subway-based folding kayak trip. And then on the next one it was my launch point. I live in Hells Kitchen and took my small (10 foot) folding Folbot Citibot kayak on the subway first to Shoelace Park off 219th Street and then paddled south on the river, going through the Botanical Garden and then taking out and breaking down my boat here before heading home again on the subway. Next trip came here and assembled my boat, then paddled from Concrete Plant Park around to the Bronx Kill, catching it at just enough water to get through then up the Harlem to Inwood where I took out dis-assembled the boat and took the subway home (albeit dripping water most of the way).

While the park itself isn't that massive, and there isn't a lot to do there that you already can't do at other parks (especially the nearby Starlight Park), it is still a nice park to visit just for the sights alone. Looking up at what used to be the old concrete plant is like going through a mini-museum for free; especially since the sight of the abandoned Westchester Avenue AMTrack station is near the entrance, decent seats and great views of the Bronx River. You can see the Whitlock Avenue station from the park; as well as the bridge overpass that goes across Westchester Avenue. The AMTrack runs on rails parallel to the park and is, overall, just a nice park to do a quick visit to.

Concrete Park was beautiful clean spacious they have wonderful Community Gardens the view of the water is wonderful it's also very private it was my first time going to that Park I had no idea that even existed apparently everyone around me did and I was just so surprised at how nice and quiet and clean it's like a little mini getaway right in the middle of what I will call an industrial area in the Bronx it's a lovely park and the event we went to there was even Lovelier

Pleasant small park along the banks of the Bronx River. The centerpiece is a group of 30' tall steel structures that were part of a concrete plant into the 1980s. This is a new style park with a short river walk, a drinking fountain, and little else. Good for a stroll and for views of the historic but derelict Westchester Avenue railroad station across the tracks. Taking one star off for lame chain link fence around the plant structures.

Easily one of the most underrated parks in NYC! This park is not the easiest to access, but once you manage to cross the busy roads and dangerous intersections you find yourself a preservation of the area’s industrial legacy turned into park space for all to enjoy. There’s concrete lawn chairs, picnic tables, and more. However, there is not much cover from the summer sun here. There is a water fountain and bottle refill station, too.
