The Riverdale–Spuyten Duyvil–Kingsbridge Memorial Bell Tower or Riverdale Monument, is a memorial tower in Bell Tower Park. Built in 1930, it commemorates veterans of World War. In 1936, it was moved 700 feet south to its present location to make room for the Henry Hudson Parkway. In the top of the tower is a 1762 Spanish bell, which had been made for a monastery and was brought to New York City after being captured by General Winfield Scott. The park itself is 0.5 acres, not very large but 4x larger than the smallest NYC park, which is 0.11 acres.
