My secret escape during the lunch hour. Thirty minutes in one of these quieter little parks overlooking the East River is exactly what you need to recharge for the rest of your work day. But as parks go, I don't know why anyone would come here as a tourist unless they just wanted that picture perfect shot of the Queensboro Bridge, which you can certainly get here.

This park is peaceful and sunny, there's also plenty of shade. You will find an occasional homeless person on the benches. The only bad part about this park is that they're building next to the river and it has been going on for years now, other than that cool place to chill with beautiful view.

One of the most beautiful views in midtown Manhattan

I like it a lot. Nice water views and it's busy-quiet. It's overlooking the high volume traffic motorway, but just beyond is the idyllic River view. The park itself is low volume for foot traffic when I've been there, so it's a pseudo break from the hectic city

Fantastic my client dogs having a great time

A cute little park. Only few benches with spot on view. Charming place to relax and take your lunch. Its a few blocks away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Even though it is in the central of city, it's very peaceful. So I took a stroll through. "" ****

nice park somplace to really relax watch people run and with the baby strollers bike and sit and watch the water view plus get direct vitamin d. watching ship boats go by coast national gaurd nypd coast plus helicopters flying above me

Lovely newly renovated park that will soon have access to the the extended East River Greenway via a Pedestrian/Cyclist path over the FDR. Please do not allow your dog to use this young tree's new home as a toilet. Curb your dog away from all street trees!

Tiny little strip of a park lined with benches. It's somehow peaceful feeling despite the cars rushing by on the adjacent highway. Nice view of the Queensboro Bridge, Roosevelt Island, and some parts of Queens and Brooklyn.

Beautiful views. Great place for lunch. I saw families with children, senior citizens. Plenty of benches.

Nice little gem of a park with good views of the East River and an abundance shade

The new park's extended view is relaxing.

Good
