The dh trails arent that great but the dirt jumps are awesome.
The crew at nycmtb.com are active in creating and maintaining the trail system at highbridge park. Check them out for maps and video footage.
the DH trail at highbridge park is really fun! its about 1min long and really fun with berms and jumps and lil rock garden, its got it all. def. a fun time and the guys at nycmtb are doing a great job with it all.

yo van courtland park is only a short ride north in the bronx( or you can take the train) but there are a a few dh trails and some dirt jumps if my friends kept them up(i moved) you just need to look
be careful in vanny, if u see a ranger, better book! They will either summon you or confiscate bike, best to go after 2pm.
take my bike? yeah ummm i dont know any one is gonna catch me on foot and me on my bike
true about the rangers they mean buisness we were up by the tables at the top of the golf corse and thery were on horses they just gave us a warning because we were kids and made it to the pavement part
(bikes are alowed on the pavement in the park)

NYC Parks is really cracking down on illegal riding. A longtime spot in BK has been shut down hard recently. Support legal trails. Highbridge has a fun sub-minute DH run, dirt jumps and some serious XC trails to challenge anyone. Cunningham park in Queens has an amazing DJ line, pump track and XC trails with a ton of freeride elements being added all over.
Just got back from High Bridge. Not to long but ALOT of fun. The jumps are nice too. Who would have guessed nice trails in NYC!
highbridge definitely has some fun elements. We rode there several times last summer/fall. Once you have your car, there are some decent spots outside of the city that have some DH lines. They're good to ride once Diablo is closed in the fall.
