Park with several subsections and activities when in season. Nice respite from the rat race underway in the surrounding jungle of asphalt and board rooms. Meticulous landscaping and not too many homeless people hogging benches by sleeping stretched out.

Safest park in all NYC since the mayor's heavily armed security is within a whisper of the place, so you'll never be treated like those mere mortals out in Brownsville. Nice greenery and installations, with pretty vistas to Roosevelt Island.

Not bad for a playground in the midst of the urban jungle. Close enough to the harbor to hear occasional fog horns and smell the Hudson. Best part is when entering the playground, in your mind you can see Spongebob autistic meme "imagination!"
