The Village of Bronxville has more than {{convert|70|acre|m2}} of parkland including athletic fields, woodlands, and a very small part of the [[Bronx River]] Parkway Reservation. The Reservation, Westchester’s oldest park, was created as an adjunct to the [[Bronx River Parkway]] that opened in 1925, and was the first linear park in the United States. The Reservation features ponds, wooden footbridges and hundreds of varieties of native trees and shrubs. The park is owned by Westchester County, and it is a favorite place for bicycling, walking, running, and nature study.  It is sometimes referred to by locals as the "Duck Pond".

The Bronxville School's athletic fields contain a football field, three smaller fields used for various sports like field hockey and lacrosse, and a running track (which is only 380 meters in Lane 1 because of space issues). Bacon Woodlands, located on Kensington Road, is a natural rock outcropping which has been left in its natural state, the flatter portion of which is used as an informal play area by children. Scout Field, a Westchester County Park which is located predominantly in Yonkers and [[Mount Vernon, New York|Mount Vernon]] but is controlled by Bronxville, is heavily utilized by the Bronxville schools' soccer, football, baseball, and cross-country running programs.<ref>[http://www.villageofbronxville.com/sube2_history13.htm Village of Bronxville website] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111030818/http://www.villageofbronxville.com/sube2_history13.htm |date=November 11, 2012 }}</ref> In 2006, Chambers Field was replaced with turf, which was funded by the community and parents of athletes in Bronxville.
