Untermyer Park and Gardens is a historic 43-acre city public park, located in Yonkers. The park is a remnant of Samuel Untermyer's 150-acre estate "Greystone". Situated on the steep landing arising from the eastern bank of the Hudson River to the bluff on top of it, the park features a Walled Garden inspired by ancient Indo-Persian gardens, a small Grecian-style open-air amphitheater with two facing sphynxes supported by tall iconic columns, a classical pavilion, stoa and loggias, a rock-and-water feature called "The Temple of Love", as well as a long staircase from the Walled Garden to an Overlook with views of the river and the Palisades.
