About

Aqueduct Walk

Aqueduct Walk is a linear public park in the West Bronx in New York City, New York. Operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), the park runs on the old Croton Aqueduct route. It stretches about 1.7 miles (2.7 km) between Kingsbridge Road to the north and Tremont Avenue to the south. Aqueduct Walk is a New York City scenic landmark, and the adjacent section of the aqueduct is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic Landmark.

Aqueduct Walk includes a series of asphalt trails from Kingsbridge Road to Burnside Avenue. The trails run beside or above an earthen embankment filled with greenery, which conceals the aqueduct tunnel. The park also includes basketball courts, a restroom, playgrounds, and a plaza. Various staircases and ramps connect the park to neighboring streets.
