What
a
beautiful
way
to
spend
the
day.
I
went
over
here
after
seeing
reviews
from
other
people.
They
were
not
joking
about
how
beautiful
and
peaceful
it
is
to
be
here.
This
park
is
a
memorial
for
Former
President
Franklin
Delano
Roosevelt
whom
this
Island
is
also
named
after.
You'll
find
tons
of
information
about
him
and
his
presidency
around
this
part.
There
are
many
fascinating
sculptures
in
this
area
but
my
favorite
would
have
the
be
the
bust
of
FDR'S
head
which
is
near
the
lower
tip
of
the
Island.
Just
behind
it
is
a
quote
from
one
of
his
speeches
about
the
Four
Freedoms,
which
this
memorial
is
named
after.
You'll
get
amazing
views
of
the
city
from
here
of
prominent
buildings
such
as
the
United
Nations,
and
some
hidden
views
from
major
skyscrapers
such
as
the
Freedom
Tower,
Empire
State
Building,
and
Chrysler
Building.
You'll
also
get
a
view
of
some
of
the
funky
architecture
of
some
of
the
newer
buildings
in
the
city.
I
call
it
funky,
but
I
actually
like
them.
It's
such
a
very
aesthetically
pleasing
view.
I
included
pictures
of
many
of
those
views,
so
I
hope
you
enjoy.
After
that,
I
hope
you
consider
taking
a
ride
on
the
Roosevelt
Island
Tramway
yourself
if
you
decide
on
making
a
visit
to
this
park.
