It consists of 7.39 acres (2.99 ha)[1] located on the west bank of the Bronx River between Westchester Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard.

The Transit-Mix Corporation operated a concrete plant on the site from the late 1940s through its abandonment in 1987,[2] according to NYC Parks, although the city's land records indicate the property was foreclosed for non-payment of taxes in 1981.

The city stabilized the old structures from the abandoned plant, cleared tons of debris, and constructed other park facilities.

[3][4] Besides the restored concrete plant structures, which have fences around them, the park includes a walk along the Bronx River, grassy lawns, seating (some of it under a small metal canopy), a "reading circle" of concrete chair-like structures, and a paved bicycle and pedestrian trail that is part of the developing Bronx River Greenway.

[3] The ruined Westchester Avenue station, which was built in 1908 and designed by architect Cass Gilbert, stands near the park's northern entrance, where it is partly suspended over Amtrak's busy Northeast Corridor.
