New York is often referred to as the concrete jungle, but there are many beautiful green spaces within the city you can enjoy. From Manhattan to the Bronx, here’s a list of our favorite parks.
Built on a converted old elevated rail line, The High Line is one the newest parks in NYC. While walking along the 1.45-mile-long walking trail, you can stop by the food vendors, play with your kids on the silicone-coated steel beams or take in the unobstructed views of the Hudson River.
The 2.4-acre public park in Hudson River Park on the west side of Manhattan is home to a wooden waterfront amphitheater where local artists perform free or low-cost shows. Families can also use arts and crafts supplies from the on-site mobile Art Cart. If the park becomes too crowded, visitors may need to wait on the South Bridge until it’s less busy.
Pelham Bay Park is NYC's largest park. It offers sunbathing at Orchard Beach, two golf courses and the historic Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum. You can also take horseback riding lessons at the Bronx Equestrian Center.
Prospect Park, located in Brooklyn, was designed by the same architects that designed Central Park. Check out the Nethermead Arches, a concert in the summer or go for a hike on one of the many trails.
