Untermyer Park is a historic park located at Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. It was developed between 1899 and 1940 as the estate garden of lawyer Samuel Untermyer (1858-1940) in the Beaux Arts style. It features a rock garden, Grecian garden, Grecian amphitheater, classical pavilion, pergola, and statuary. It was acquired by the city of Yonkers in 1946 as a public park.[2] The property was once owned by Samuel J. Tilden (1814-1886) and he died at Graystone on August 4, 1886.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
