👍👍 A very underrated city park that is often overshadowed by the other more well-known parks. You'll find very few tourists and no cyclists. The beaches are never crowded. The best time to visit is probably in the dead of night.

👍👍 Very nice place to have a seat and enjoy your lunch. There are food trucks towards the back of the park, comfortable benches and Shake Shack is just steps away. I saw some charging points around the space which is a great feature. A calm space near 42nd street. Will visit again

👍👍 If you live on Roosevelt Island, this is definitely a place you should just come to sit down and relax. Taken the quiet ambient noise that is the city just forget about everything for a little bit. It's a great little place either during the day or at night. Just sit down unwind and chill out.
