Did you ever imagine a park could hold a lighthouse? Kingsland Park does. This 18-acre waterfront haven in Sleepy Hollow isn’t just about green spaces and playgrounds. Kingsland Park offers a spectacular view of the Hudson River and the historic Tarrytown Lighthouse, also known as the Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse. This isn’t a recent addition. The park itself dates back to 1926, one of the first parks developed by the Westchester County Parks Commission. Kingsland Park is a blend of history and recreation. While the lighthouse stands sentinel over the river, the park offers picnic areas, ballfields, hiking trails, and fishing spots. The 1926 bathhouse has even been renovated, offering modern amenities amidst the historic charm. Getting to Kingsland Park is an adventure in itself. You access it via the Palmer Avenue Bridge, over the Metro-North tracks. This adds a touch of seclusion. While strolling through Kingsland Park, remember your furry friends are welcome, as long as they are leashed. As you enjoy the river views, consider this. The Tarrytown Lighthouse is just a short walk south along the Riverwalk path. The five-story structure, with its four stairways, is a testament to maritime history. And if you visit during the summer, you might even be able to tour the lighthouse itself. Kingsland Park isn’t just a park. It’s a gateway to history, nature, and breathtaking views.
