It is named for the High Bridge, which began carrying Croton Aqueduct water across the river in 1848, is the city's oldest standing bridge and reopened to walkers and cyclists in 2015. The parkland was assembled piece by piece between 1867 and the 1960s, and the park is known for its water tower, completed in 1872, a pool and recreation center open since 1936, and the city's first mountain biking course.
