| ______________________________________ Sprain Ridge Park ______________________________________ View Map I Download PDF ........................................................................... The Sprain is on the border of Yonkers and Greenburgh, squeezed between the NYS Thruway on the West and the Sprain Brook Parkway on the East. The park has terrain that will suit the beginner to the advanced rider. It is an ideal park for Single speed bikes as the elevations are minimal. That's not to say, there isn't climbs...there are. Some of the most technical riding in Westchester resides in the park thanks to numerous tree falls, rock formations and tight trail layout. By Car: Take the Sprain Brook Parkway to the Jackson Ave Exit. Follow Jackson Ave West for about a quarter mile, and the park entrance is on your left. Follow the entrance round up to the pool area.

Just past the entrance to the pool there is a huge parking lot. There are trail heads at the North-East & South-West corners of the lot that are marked with county signs. There is an access road that runs North to South down the center of the park with two picnic and parking areas on the West side. In the first of these there is a rock in the middle of the parking lot. Net to the rock is the third trail head and county sign. |
