About Heather Garden

Fort Tryon Park is a landmarked 67-acre park designed by the Olmsted brothers. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., presented it to the city as a gift in 1935. The most notable horticultural feature is the three-acre Heather Garden, which has year-round interest and panoramic views of the Hudson River. Not far from the Heather Garden is the Alpine Garden, an intimate 3-acre garden and collection of stone staircases that traverse the slope between the Cloisters and Broadway.
