Fabulous white sand beach with amenities on each end and Aurora resort in the middle

Intimate venue for family affairs of 25-40 people, band area and cake stand, excellent birthday party place and a staff that's accommodates every need.

Park is home to the Morris-Jumel Manse, good place for a walking tour, inside open by appointment. Home to a working sun-dial, (the movement is cast in genuine stone, works from the suns energy - as the stone warms, the shadow moves) annnd, the original carved stone street sign from the Kingsbridge Rd, 11 miles from N York is here, about a mile south of the 12 mile carved stone street sign in Inwood. Too much history here to fully cover.

Fine spot for history buffs to take a breather. During the revolutionary war, Colonials held the high ground above the Bronx River, the British army forded the river and flanked Gen. Washingston's minutemen. The Americans retreated along the road to Connecticut thru White Plains over three days. Battle Park has plaques placed in the park recalling the order of battle, it is on the National Registry of Historic Places. The memorial cannon is below the hill on the entrance ramp to the Bx River Pkway.
