City of Yonkers

Yonkers sits along the Hudson River with approximately 4.5 miles of waterfront that includes parks, esplanades, and scenic views of the river and Palisades. Residents enjoy kayaking, walking trails, waterfront promenades, and nearby historic parks like Untermyer Gardens and Van der Donck Park.
