Historic New York: Orchard Beach
About
Historic New York: Orchard Beach is a free, ranger-led history walk in Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx. The Urban Park Rangers act as guides to the historical events, people and communities that shaped the city and its parks, and this program turns that lens on Orchard Beach, telling its story as a journey through time. NYC Parks lists the program for Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 1pm to 2:30pm, meeting at Section 2 of Orchard Beach. The price is listed as free. No minimum age or registration requirement is recorded, so check the NYC Parks event page for the latest details. No transit notes are recorded for this meeting point, so use a trip planner with Orchard Beach, Pelham Bay Park as the destination. Pelham Bay Park has three current listings on this calendar: this walk, Indigenous People Day: The Siwanoy on October 12 and the Pelham Bay Park by Bike Tour on October 18. Another Historic New York walk, the Italian Heritage Walk at De Matti Park, is listed the same Saturday, so history-minded visitors have two Historic New York walks to choose from on October 17.
