The 4,315-acre park makes Ward Pound Ridge Reservation the county’s largest park. Originally part of Cortlandt Manor, the reservation has a unique combination of a significant natural environment and a collection of buildings constructed over a 250-year period. The fields are historically related to the early farmhouses, and the unplanned landscape of the park is part of its antiquated charm. Its rustic woodlands include evergreen plantations, oak, hickory and maple forests and wooded wetlands.
