Fort Tryon Park is a public park located in the Hudson Heights neighborhood of the Washington Heights section of the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is situated on a 67-acre (270,000 m²) ridge in Upper Manhattan, with a commanding view of the Hudson River, the George Washington Bridge, the New Jersey Palisades and the Harlem River.
Fort Tryon Park is site of The Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to medieval art and culture, and home to the Unicorn Tapestries.
