Fort Tryon Park
Fort Tryon Park is a public park located in the Hudson Heights, Washington Heights and Inwood neighborhoods of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It is situated on a 67 acres ridge in Upper Manhattan, with a commanding view of the Hudson River, the George Washington Bridge, the New Jersey Palisades and the Harlem River. The park was the creation of philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who in 1917 began to buy up the county estates in the area where the Battle of Fort Washington was fought in the American Revolutionary War, in order to create a park. He engaged the Olmsted Brothers firm – formed by the sons of Frederick Law Olmsted, step-brothers John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. – to design the park, and gave it to the city in 1931. The park was completed in 1935.
