The Hillview Reservoir is a 90-acre (0.36 km2) storage reservoir in southeastern Yonkers, New York. It was built within a six-year period from 1909–1915 by the New York City Board of Water Supply to receive water from the newly constructed Catskill Aqueduct, which drained water from the Ashokan Reservoir and sent it down into the Kensico Reservoir, where it would, in turn, be drained back into a continuation of the Catskill Aqueduct, and sent into the Hillview Reservoir. Frank E. Winsor was the engineer in charge of construction of both Hillview and Kensico as well as 32 miles (51 km) of the Catskill Aqueduct. The reservoir itself has a maximum capacity of 900 million US gallons (3,400,000 m³), and water from the reservoir is sent through New York City Water Tunnels No. 1 and No. 2. New York City Water Tunnel No. 3, which is still under construction, is planned to take water from the Kensico Reservoir, and immediately send it into the Hillview Reservoir, and then into the rest of New York City. The reservoir itself does not impound a river, and is held up by walls on all sides. In 1993, city officials considered building a concrete cover over the reservoir to prevent excrement from seagulls contaminating the water with bacteria and viruses.In March 2019, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) made an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to cover the reservoir by 2049 to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act. They also agreed to enhance efforts to manage wildlife at the reservoir in the meantime, eliminating cliff swallow nests and capturing or killing waterfowl.

The Lincoln Park Jewish Center is a Modern Orthodox synagogue located in 311 Central Park Avenue in the Lincoln Park section of Yonkers, New York. The originally Ashkenazi congregation was founded in 1938. Elliott Palais, a former president of the Lincoln Park Jewish Center said that the synagogue building "was designed by Eli Rabineau, the same architect who designed the Grinton I. Will Library in Yonkers and Bet Torah in Mount Kisco."The Lincoln Park Jewish Center revitalized in the early 21st century by Rabbi Rigoberto Emanuel Viñas, a Cuban-American Jew. According to the New York Times, Viñas attracted a large number of Hispanic Jews to the congregation, including Holocaust survivors who had settled in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Jews with roots in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Spain. He was particularly noted for performing "ceremonies of return" for anusim.In early 2017 the synagogue building was sold to Brooklyn congregation Vayetar Yitzchok, after the Lincoln Park Jewish Center's membership declined from 350 to 65 families. Vayetar Yitzchok had about 200 member families and shared a synagogue in Brooklyn with another congregation, according to Lazar Lieberman, Vayetar Yitzchok's rabbi.

Lincoln High School is located in Yonkers, New York. It is one of the seven public high schools in the city and has an enrollment of about 1200 students. The front portion of the building was opened in 1953 as Southeast Yonkers Jr., Sr. High School with grades six through eight. It was completed in 1955 and renamed Lincoln Junior-Senior High School the following year. After the first year, sixth grade was dropped and ninth grade added and when the building was completed it became Lincoln Junior-Senior High School, enrolling grades seven through twelve. In the 1970s, the junior high grades were sequentially eliminated and the school became a four-year, grade nine to twelve, high school. Some members of the class of 1976 went to the school for grades seven to twelve (the last class to do so). It was not named for United States President Abraham Lincoln. The school was named Lincoln High School after the Lincoln Park area of Yonkers where it is located. The first graduating class, which went continuously from sixth grade to 12th grade, graduated in 1960. A very high percentage of that class went on to college and several of its graduates returned to Lincoln as teachers. The school colors are purple and white. Its mascot is a knight holding a lance, and its athletic teams are known as the Lincoln Lancers. Both colors and mascot were chosen by the class of 1960.
