ℳ𝒶𝓎♍July 24, 2016Best running track outdoors in the city. I always start from the lowest point of the park and run all the way up on the East River. The park itself is amazing with soothing views of Queens/BrooklynUpvote9Downvote- Emilie DishonghApril 21, 2015Secretly some of the best river views of the city, from the Corlears Hook view of the Statue of Liberty, to the promenade under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges.Upvote9Downvote
Jessi SinghAugust 29, 2017Start in the East Village and go to Chinatown. Seeing people playing sports, the small garden areas, the water views, even the craziness of the FDR reminds me why I love this diverse, exciting city.Upvote7Downvote- ℳ𝒶𝓎♍July 24, 2016This is one of the nicest parks in NYC second to Central Park & Hudson River Park.

Good spot for running. There are water fountains that are available during the warm weather and are usually off during the winter. A great place to watch the sunrise.UpvoteDownvote
