The Old Croton Aqueduct water system was built between 1837 and 1842, bringing the first direct water supply to the Bronx. Now, it's a scenic trail that sits on the historic pathway with a window into nearly 5 acres of nature.

"There are 12 scenic landmarks throughout the city. But here, this is the very first one in the borough of the Bronx," says Iris Rodriguez-Rosa, the first deputy commissioner of NYC Parks. "So, we're very excited that the landmarks commission saw fit to be able to name this as a scenic landmark here in the borough."

Along the way, visitors can enjoy such as a playground and a basketball court, which have received major upgrades throughout the years.

"It's not only just a wonderful walk that we have. There's also activities for the community to be able to enjoy with - our playgrounds and our basketball courts and things of that nature," Rodriguez-Rosa adds.

Rodriguez-Rosa says the Croton Aqueduct pathway highlights the rich history of the Bronx dating back to the 1800s.
