Spectacular park … quiet and just peaceful with so much history. Amazing skyline views of the Manhattan Eastside.

Small, quiet park good to visit for 30-60mins. Cornell tech is a short walk away to grab a coffee too.

"Hey boss, we have to build a park!" "No problem. Pick up the phone and call Ferrara Brothers. Order 50 truckloads of concrete." "What else, boss?" "Granite." "Granite?" "Lots of it." "Give me the number of trucks, please." "Boatloads!" "How much?" "As much as the budget allows ... for the park." "And ...?" "Tiles and cobblestone. Know a good guy for tiles! Let me make that call. ... Dang it, almost forgot about the fence. 1800 linear yards of fence, 4 ft high, and 800 yards 6ft high. Have to keep the people away from the plants." "What else, boss?" "Signs." "What kinda signs?" "Lots of signs. No unleashed dogs, no skating, no rollerblades, no grilling, no old folks sorting through the garbage and taking the plastic bottles out. No nothing!" "No drones, I assume?" [Coughing hard, swallowing to catch his breath] "Absolutely no drones, no kites, and no paper planes. ... No climbing, no running. Have to keep the kids out!" "How about no screaming, no spitting, no laughing?" "Sounds good. Let me think about it!" "Anything ...?" "Locks. Have to lock it up". "Sure, got it! Concrete, granite, tiles, fences, signs, locks. Will get right to it." "Locks first, not last!" "Roger that. Bye!"

Nice, quiet park from where you can enjoy the beautiful views.They also have a nice shelter for rescued cats.

It's nice they put in bathrooms and a university but they closed off the southern end of the island for some ridiculous gaudy marble causi-private self serving memorial park for a president who would have wanted it left natural and beautiful. Wasted public space for the benefit of a rich benefactor. Its fenced off with guard and not only can you not ride your bike, you can't even push it. It clashes with the historic smallpox hospital. Give it back to the public and make it inviting.

If you’re going to Roosevelt Island, this is a great place to walk and relax. Like the name says, it is the southernmost part of the island. It is safe and easy to walk.

Great part of Roosevelt Island with a nice walk to look out on Queens and the water.

I walk and bike in this park since it was opened. What I can say is that I enjoy the setting and the layout and the exceptional views of Manhattan, especially at sunset, and the resident Canadian geese, and the relative quietness. Many comfortable benches, clean and large alleys... Also, it flows into the Four Freedoms Park, which is beautiful by itself. Reach it by subway, taking a walk from the F train, at Roosevelt Island station, or the famous Roosevelt Island (cable)Tram, along the Japanese cherry alley and the new Cornell Tech campus, which make your visit even more worthwhile.

It's a good place to chill. Too bad they don't have many places where you can sit. The view is awesome. Would definitely recommend visiting the park if you're looking for some peace on your day.

It’s definitely a gem great view of Manhattan and queens. They have bike lanes and stroll path too.

Its a piece full place for jogging and cycling. It has a public restroom and free water tap in park. Plenty of sitting by the water with a wonder full view of east side Manhattan.

So peaceful here, with a free bus ride around the island. The cable car over is amazing with brilliant views of the city

Good for some zen time walk. Its amazing to be within so much people and again to the remoteness to so sort within city. You will be so near yet far from city life. This place in roosevelt island is one of my favorite place to take a walk occasionally.

A nice little park and a great place to see some local birds such as geese and American Robins.

What a beautiful park, great day out, amazing view, grass, trees, birds, water all around, a must go for tourists
