Not just a magnificent park, but some area is the last old growth forest in Manhattan.

1. I live nearby there

As I was going into work today I smelled smoke. I didn't think there was a brush fire happening in Inwood Hill Park!!

2. Woah... Good Luck to you, the park & nabe!

My sis has lived up there for decades. We also had relatives up there even earlier.
I was in part of that park back in the early '60s.
Many visits up there to her house, and the park.

I also know Ft Tryon Park. Lived nest there decades back.

Both amazing 🌳🥰🌳 parks that are sometimes are a surprise to to those only knowing Midtown, and Downtown Manhattan.

Sigh.

3. I'm glad the fires are "under Control".

Scary!

6. Saying big fires out. Firefighters looking through the hillside etc for hotspots. 🤞

We'll see tomorrow how much damage was done.

On the eastern side facing residential area there was one biggish area from tv shots. Thought there was smoke on a higher up area.
