Places to move in the Bronx.
On this site, the Bronx means the borough of the Bronx. We list 13 places with a location here, in neighbourhoods including Mott Haven, Fordham, Throggs Neck and Castle Hill. The biggest groups by main mood are Lift something (5) and Get outside (4). Six are free every time, and two paid places offer a free first visit. There's no climbing gym or dance studio with a location here yet.
It has Pelham Bay Park, the city's largest park, and Van Cortlandt Park, its third-largest, for running and walking on your own, and a running club of its own in Van Cortlandt Track Club.
