This 196-acre oasis contains the last natural forest and salt marsh in Manhattan. It’s a cool escape in summer and a great place to explore any time, as you’ll find hilly paths for hiking and mellow, grassy patches and benches for quiet contemplation. It’s so bucolic, in fact, that the treetops serve as frequent nesting sites for bald eagles.
Let your sporty side rip on basketball courts or soccer and football fields, or pack some produce and join locals who barbecue at designated grills on summer weekends.
