Fort Tryon Park was created when philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began buying up county estates in the area where the Battle of Washington Heights was fought during the Revolutionary War, with the intention of creating a park. He enlisted Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. of the Olmsted Brothers firm to design the park, while James W. Dawson created the planting plan. The park was gifted to the city in 1931 and completed in 1935. Rockefeller also donated a collection of medieval art to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which built The Cloisters in the park to house it, completing it in 1939. The park extends from West 190th Street to Dyckman Street and from Broadway to Riverside Drive/West Side Highway. The main entrance is at Margaret Corbin Circle, at the intersection of Fort Washington Avenue and Cabrini Boulevard. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and was designated a New York City Scenic Landmark in 1983.

The Fort Tryon Park Cottage, located near the entrance to the park at Corbin Circle at the intersection of Cabrini Boulevard and Fort Washington Avenue in the Hudson Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, was originally the gardener's cottage of the Cornelius G. K. Billings estate. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. purchased the property in 1917 and had it developed by the Olmstead Brothers. He donated it to the city as a park in 1931. The Billings mansion had burned down in 1925, but the stucco gatehouse remains.
The Billings Arcade, a remnant of the C. K. G. Billings estate, is now part of Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, New York City.

The Margaret Corbin Drive Arch in Fort Tryon Park, Manhattan, New York City. The roadway runs across the top of the arch, along with a walking path, then curves around and passes through the arch to the northbound side of the Henry Hudson Parkway. This view is from the east side of the arch, looking west at the Parkway and the Hudson River. It was taken from the Drive.

Inside Anne Loftus Playground at the northern tip of Fort Tryon Park, located at Broadway, Dyckman Street, and Riverside Drive in Inwood/Fort George, Manhattan. This playground doesn't feel typical; it seems designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of Fort Tryon Park. The image shows the large splash pad in the foreground and the comfort station at the foot of the hill that contains the rest of the park. These features create an interesting courtyard and view corridor.
An old plaque dedicated to Margaret Corbin, the first woman to fight in the American Revolutionary War, is located in Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, New York City. A newer plaque is situated in a more frequented area of the park.
The 190th Street subway station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line, serving the "A" service, is located on Fort Washington Avenue at Corbin Circle, the intersection with Cabrini Boulevard, in the Hudson Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Built between 1928 and 1932, it was designed in part by Squire J. Vickers. The brick building was later given a stone facade to match the entrance to Fort Tryon Park across the Circle. Formerly known as "190th Street-Overlook Terrace," the station has a tunnel leading to Bennett Avenue in Washington Heights, as well as stairs to Fort Washington Avenue. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
