    Nice little spot in Central park where you can avoid the crowds. Only saw a handful of people while in there and there were plenty of places to sit and relax.

    Jackie Robinson Park has gotten so much nicer since they finished the renovation of the park. The paths are well landscaped and the benches are nice to just sit under the trees to relax. They even have artwork in the park now with a silver reindeer statue.

    The pool is now open so it can be noisy in the park but still it is relaxing.

    The Muscato Marsh is one of the most underrated parks in New York City and is a real gem in Manhattan. It has one of the nicest views of the tip of the island and it is fun to bring breakfast or lunch to the park and sit on the benches and eat a meal. There are no views like it.

    The pictures don't do the park justice. It is just relaxing to visit.

    Don't miss the West Harlem Piers Park at the end of 125th Street near the new extension of the Columbia Campus. It has the most breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the Palisades, the coolest breezes on a hot day and a nice place to sit down.

    There is some interesting art work in the park that you should see and it is a nice place to take your lunch and eat it by the river. It is just a nice place to relax and enjoy the views.
