Considering the station's location on 254th Street, the name "Riverdale," while technically accurate, can be confusing. The station is one of two possible exit points for Riverdale bound passengers, the other being Spuyten Duyvil. Actually, when compared with Spuyten Duyvil's daily 913 daily riders, [http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/commutemetro-north.html] the Riverdale station serves a smaller percent of Riverdale's population than Spuyten Duyvil. That said, the station is almost exclusively responsible for serving the railroad needs of the majority of Riverdale's neighborhoods: Fieldston, and North Riverdale (three out of five).
Adjacent to the station's southbound platform lies the Riverdale Waterfront Promenade and Fishing Access Site. Dedicated in 2005, by Mayor
Michael Bloomberg , the park "is convert|20|ft|m wide and convert|600|ft|m long, providing benches and a place to fish or take a stroll between Metro-North train tracks and the Hudson shoreline."
