  • A beautiful prelude to something so significant to our cherished country AMERICA. The Empty Sky Memorial was a surprise, so beautiful. I loved the history of the train station.

  • Great little park just outside the city. If you are into picnics this is a great place. Has great views. And some wildlife. ("wildlife" - very human friendly) It's recommended not to feed birds as they keep the insect population low. If you are luck the ice-cream truck will stop by.
  • This was an excellent FREE short excursion between college baseball games. Walked the beautiful promenade along the waterfront with world-class views of the Statute of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Manhattan skyline. Very well kept park with what looks like plenty of great trails and open areas to do just about anything (Adult flag football game going on even). Bring a camera as the views are amazing. It was windy and cold that AM but it was also that time of year.
  • Great fun for Picnics as well as just hanging out and bicycling. Fabulous views in daylight as well as nighttime. Does get crowded but it’s a huge park and u would find a good spot for yourself for sure!.. free parking is very limited and there are parking lots with paid parking.
  • This place has a great importance which offers a beautiful view of the New York skyline. Standing here gives a great peace of mind where you experience, buildings, sea, ships and many other beautiful things. This park is huge and feels Never ending while you keep on walking around. You may also see the Statue of Liberty from the other side of the park. If you like to see the real and whole view of the skyline, then you are at the right place.
  • Beautiful memorial walls with view of the new building in distance. Great place to ride bikes with many paths along the water and also paths through the park. Summertime is more beautiful with awesome landscaping and greenery. Pack a lunch and stay for hours. Easy & free parking!
