Parks & Recreation
The Village of Bronxville has over 70 acres of parkland including athletic fields, woodlands, and the Bronx River Parkway Reservation. The Reservation, Westchester’s oldest park, was created as an adjunct to the Bronx River Parkway that opened in 1925, and was the first linear park in the United States. The Reservation features ponds, wooden footbridges, and hundreds of varieties of native trees and shrubs. The park is owned by Westchester County and it is a favorite place for bicycling, walking, running and nature study.
The Bronxville School's Scott Field is equipped with a football field, three smaller fields and a running track. Bacon Woodlands, located on Kensington Road, is a natural rock outcropping which is left in its natural state, the flatter portion of which is used as an informal play area by children. Scout Field, located near Mouth Vernon, is heavily utilized by the Bronxville schools' soccer, football, baseball and cross country running programs.
From April to October, a seven-mile stretch of the Bronx River Parkway from Bronxville to White Plains closes to automobile traffic each Sunday between 10 AM and 2 PM. During those times, the Westchester County Parks Department runs "Bicycle Sundays" along this stretch of the parkway.
