Pelham Bay Park
Description
Sitting at more than 2,700 acres—three times the size of Central Park—this is New York City's largest park. It has an 18-hole golf course and a mini-golf course, tennis courts and Orchard Beach, the Bronx's only public beach. Tour the 19th-century Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum and stop by the Thomas Pell Wildlife Refuge and Sanctuary, which is home to some of the most diverse wildlife in the area.
