For a lovely day spent out of doors, first stop at the Tivoli Commons and sit in the quaint gazebo before you walk the trail behind the visitor’s center to the amazing not-to-be-missed Tivoli Bays. The Tivoli Bays is a national park, nature preserve and research area consisting of 1,700 acres of freshwater tidal marshes right on the Hudson. Tivoli Memorial Recreation Park is a popular outdoor spot which houses a playground, a pavilion, a basketball court and a baseball field. Red Hook Recreation Park is yet another popular area park and has an amazing Olympic sized pool, a playground, handball courts, basketball courts, baseball and soccer fields, an outside running track and an inside fitness center.
