Fort Tryon Park-Cloisters

5comments

There are lots of public, semi-private, and private spots. Probably best to go in daylight at first, but area gets very steamy after dark. Just have to walk around and see the sights.

just there this weekend and actually picked a guy up off the street on broadway then he followed me to the park. he showed me a new place that I was not aware of. It is at the top of the park by the entrance. If you are at the big circle you walk left and down a hill and find small paths. i know guys have been there before because they left some memories laying around...trash you might call it. had a great time and would be going back. have fun!

pippotto : you speak of the location titled "riverside park below dyckman street". this one is fort tryon park, which is on broadway. just trying to clarify any confusion. i do agree, though. nice spot!

But WHERE??? Anyway, Fort Tryon doesn't even start till a little below the 190th St., not 181st stop. At 181st there are houses on Overlook Terrace all the way up with several Castle Village apts. up till 186th. Sure, there's a lot of 'Green Places', but there's so much you need to have some real idea where to go. There's plenty of that area down in the middle of all the freeways that I doubt have any cruising at all. None of what I saw in Fort Tryon had cruising on the weekend day I went but the Cloisters area is big, maybe I just didn't find it.
