Peekskill Riverfront Green Park is located along the Hudson River right across from the Metro-North train station. With a backdrop of the Hudson Highlands, kayakers, sailboats, and occasional barges, this is an ideal spot to river watch (or sketch). The park has 9/11 memorials, sculptures and several areas where you can sit and enjoy sketching the scenery.
