Kingsland Point Park is located between two Metro-North stations – Philipse Manor from the North and Tarrytown from the South.

Both stations are on the Hudson line, running from Grand Central to Poughkeepsie.

Philipse Manor is less than a half mile from the North entrance to the park.

Tarrytown train station is about 1.5 walkable miles away, but there will also be shuttles (three school buses) running from the train station to Horan’s Landing, which is a short walk to Kingsland, throughout the day.

For ridesharing, convenient dropoff points include Horan’s Landing or Pierson Park (enter at South Gate), or Philipse Manor train station.

Parking is available at the following locations:

• The Tarrytown Metro-North train station .

• On select streets in Philipse Manor.

• Within the Village of Sleepy Hollow.

Please note that Tarrytown train station and Village parking is metered. NOTE ON METERS: The Village of Tarrytown uses the PayByPhone app while the Village of Sleepy Hollow uses the ParkMobile app. With both apps you can pay for a full day of parking or add more time remotely from your phone throughout the day.

Carpooling and ride sharing is recommended. SHUTTLE BUSES: There will be three shuttles running continuously from the Tarrytown train station to Horan’s Landing, which is a short, scenic walk along the River Walk to the southern entrance to the park.
