Battle of White Plains Park

Could not locate Parking nor Dog Yard. Large just to walk around but areas were fenced in for Kid Lots. Its more a Family place.

Awesome park that is simple but beautiful

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.

No parking available M-F 10-11am. They heavily enforce this thinking they are chastising commuters running late for the train but in my case waiting for son at doctors office and wanted to sit on park bench to read a book! So $58 was a bit pricey for the history lesson from the few signs at the park. I shook the dust from my sandals vowing to never return or patronize the establishments in town. I suggest that the committee that supports the park (signs all over the place) put up signs to inform folks where to park during this hour!

Park nothing special for most people but I grew up in the neighborhood. It used to be the "woods" and I liked it better than the park that was built. That being said, it is a nice neighborhood park.

I learned so much history at this charming little Park, beautifully preserved.I was never aware that there was a major revolutionary War battle here live by George Washington. I would love to go back

Nice park to take the kids, swings, slide and benches for the adults. Clean with trees providing shade.
