Barretto Point Park is one of the Bronx's hidden waterfront gems — a green point jutting into the East River with skyline and water views most visitors never see — and Barretto's Beats soundtracks it for a full free afternoon. The amphitheater sits right at the water, so you get music, river breeze and passing barges in one sitting. For Hunts Point locals it's a neighborhood staple; for everyone else it's a reason to finally visit this park.
What to expect
Expect an easygoing outdoor session at the waterfront amphitheater, with families and neighbors settled on the terraced seating and lawn through the afternoon. Bring what you need — the park is a bit removed from commercial strips.
