What travellers are saying
- grrprrTallahassee, FL426 contributionsThis was my first visit. It is very easy to find and enter. Plenty of pathways and a wide variety of trees, bushes and flowering plants. Benches can be found throughout, and there is even a restroom. I only wish there were identifying stakes.Written July 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- FredInCaliforniaFullerton, CA123 contributionsIf you are looking for a viewing spot where you can see the Statue of Liberty without having to get on a boat, then this is your option. Go to Battery Park and you will see the statue across the harbor. The Bowling Green subway station is just a block from the viewing point. The picture was taken on an overcast day before the rain arrived. I am sure the view is better on a clear sunny day. Don’t forget to see the Bull statue on Wall Street while you are in this neighborhood, only one block from the park.Written December 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JackOld Bethpage, NY770 contributionsJust came here today in August and the garden was beautiful and lush. It was rainy so there were very few people here. The garden is relatively small, but definitely worth a visit!Written August 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia44,507 contributionsChannel Gardens is a beautiful stretch of garden and fountains in Rockefeller Plaza. There are also several sculptures as well as plants and bushes and other greenery that complete the picture! A lovely area to sit down for a little while and just enjoy the time.Written October 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland18,410 contributionsThe Ramble is a bit wilder and less kept area of Central Park. It’s a wonderful piece of nature and the life on the water and in the brambles is amazing.Written March 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chris MNew Mexico61 contributionsWe went there for lunch. Although there were numerous places to purchase meals the lines were very long. We were on a tour and our time was limited. The Winter Gardens is a beautiful venue.Written September 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- KmcoyleSanbornville, NH1,049 contributionsWandering around the West Village and had one of the "locals " direct me to this little slice of natural beauty and peaceful contemplation. A number of short, but curved paths taking maximum advantage of the limited space. Lots of different flowers and bushes with many benches and seats.

- barry mNew York City, NY165 contributionsProximate to the Cloister Museum in Washington Heights is Fort Tryon Park.
In the parlk, is the Heather Garden which is managed by a non profit organization and volunteers. They provided a walking tour along with photos of the history of the park.
This is a great "botanical garden" in every way, and worth the special trip, along with a "must see" visit to the Cloister Museum, and the great view of the Hudson River.Written September 3, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s free to visit on Sundays 1:00-4:00, April-November. Talk to one of the volunteers to get the whole story. If you’re in the Upper West Side it’s a must do, but I don’t suggest going cross town just to see it because it’s pretty small.Written August 25, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland18,410 contributionsThe liz Christy Garden is a bit messy and underwhelming in the winter. It’s narrow and long and it does have a small fish pond.Written January 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- S5387GVsarahbNew York City, NY26 contributionsThis little community garden is always lovely, but don't miss the tulips this week, as they are at their peak! If you miss the tulips, summer flowers follow in this beautiful Upper Westside Oasis.
I am a regular here, as I am frequently in the neighborhood. A great place to bring a cup of coffee in the morning and read the paper.Written April 30, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are small tables on the shade, benches and a terrace facing the river. Quiet spot near Wall Street and in front of Wall Street NY Ferry. A place you do not expect to find in this area. Do not miss it!Written September 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
