Understanding West Farms

Starlight Park recalls an early twentieth-century exposition and amusement park. The current park later gained new river crossings and greenway connections, showing a different use for the same river corridor.

Farther south, Concrete Plant Park keeps the silos of a former industrial works. The preserved structures make the waterfront’s cleanup and reuse visible.

  • Starlight Park

    Nearby riverfront

    Use the paths, bridges or recreation areas as the outdoor part of the visit. This is a specific park destination, not a general promise of access to every parcel along the river.

  • Concrete Plant Park

    Farther south on the Bronx River, separate map destination

    Parks lists entrances at Westchester Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard. Choose the park as a separate waterfront destination farther south.
