Discover Irvington
2 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights
HJ East Garden Museum
Well-manicured formal gardens framing a stately historic building — ideal for compositional layers (foreground flowers, midground pathways, background architecture). Best at golden hour for warm light on stone and soft shadows; late spring–early autumn for blooms. Weekday mornings are quieter. On-site parking and museum entry may require a small fee or timed tickets — check museum hours in advance. Paths are mostly accessible but bring weather-appropriate footwear for garden paths.
Scenic Hudson Park
Small, well-kept riverside park with clear views of the Hudson and the Palisades—great for sunset silhouettes, calm-water reflections, and intimate riverfront scenes. Easy access: ~8 min walk from Irvington train station and near Ludy cafe; parking usually simple. Best at sunrise or golden-hour sunset for warm light and long reflections; weekdays and early mornings minimize visitors. Limited shade and no entry fee.
