The park is bordered by the <strong>Hudson River<\/strong>, which is shown in video to the left. The way the light reflected off the water as the waves lapped against the shore was stunning!

First, Hudson River is considerably bigger than Centennial Brook. I would say that it is actually the main focus of the area, whereas the plants and trees of Beaver Way are the main focus. Kingsland is much more open with short, neat grasses dominating the land. As visible in the above images, there are <strong>oak<\/strong> and <strong>cedar<\/strong> trees scattered through the park, but they&#8217;re a little more sparse at the water&#8217;s edge. Meanwhile, Beaver Way is covered in tall reeds and a variety of trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I went home over Thanksgiving break, my family and I took a day trip to Tarrytown upstate and visited Kingsland Point Park.
