Not included in this route are 3 miles reserved for daily garden browsing.

Week 42

Bronx Zoo Van Cortlandt Too

Week one of our month in the Bronx brings us to perhaps the Bronx's most well-known attraction (outside the Yankees) - the Bronx Zoo! On either side we'll do tip to top walks from Southview Park in the south to massive Van Cortlandt park in the North. Neighborhoods visited include Fordham, Norwood, Soundview and Clason Point. 2.2 Miles were left off the route to account for zoo exploration.

Neighborhoods Mt. Hope, Fordham, Kingsbridge Heights, Norwood, Bedford Park, Belmont, West Farms, Soundview, Clason Point, Melrose
