VCPA has learned about a series of muggings throughout the park with a concentration on the following trails: Bike path from Dickinson Ave to the Golf House; Putnam Greenway; Old Croton Aqueduct.
Please be extra cautious when out in the park, especially later in the day as it grows darker.
Follow these tips to increase safety in the park:
- Walk or run in a group–especially in the early or late hours of the day
- Be aware of your surroundings at all times
- Do not wear headphones
- Keep your phone out of sight
- Leave valuables at home
Van Cortlandt Park is still the best place in the Bronx to enjoy nature, play sports, and get some fresh air. We just ask you to be cautious during these times.
