Very clean, peaceful, and relaxing spot with great views of the city and water. The historic design adds a nice touch. Loved watching the geese roam around and spotting a few cats. A calm and refreshing place to spend time.

Four Freedoms park located on a small Roosvelt Island. At the time when I was at the park it was almost empty. You could relax on a bench or a deckchair. I recommend visiting the park on a sunny day.

Great place to see views of the city. Also really nice to have a picnic there especially with warm weather. Also really good for photography with the tree archs. Note the park has different closing times depending on the season: generally before sunset.
Large area for dogs to run aroundNice grass area for a picnic

Sssshhhh... Keep this one to yourself! A beautiful and tranquil park that tourists haven't discovered yet. The effort needed in getting to it makes it all the more special.
No dogs allowed, which is fine, and keeps the place tranquil... but I'm still sad my dog will never be able to see this beautiful park. I show him photos, but it's not the same...
