New York parks


One of the cities that attracts the most tourism every year is NY, which has many things to offer and there are millions of travelers whose dream is to be able to visit it one day. One of the great symbols of the city is Central Park, and it is that this immense park has appeared in so many movies and series that it seems that we know it by heart even without ever stepping on it.

Still, in New York there are many parks of different sizes and scattered throughout the city, so I recommend that in addition to visiting the most famous you also go to others that are equally interesting. Take note of the New York's most famous parks:

Central park: I recommend you to take a look at the special article dedicated to this park.

Battery Park: It has been in Lower Manhattan for over 200 years and has always been considered an important part of the history of the city. Inside is the Castle Garden, which was the first arrival station for immigrants and offers you a review of the history of the city. From this park you can have what is probably the best view of the East River, in addition to being able to also enjoy the Statue of Liberty as if you were right there.

Randall Island Park: It is on the banks of the East River and the Harlem River, just across from Manhattan and south of the Bronx. It has changed a lot in recent years, in part thanks to the fact that the new mayor showed great support for all the open spaces facing the sea and promised to restore and preserve them. There are several sports and recreational facilities, so you can spend a whole day without getting bored at any time thanks to its golf center, its 20 tennis courts or the special lanes for skates or bicycles.

Marine park: It is in Brooklyn and has more than 200 hectares of gardens, meadows and spectacular marshes, which are also protected as a Nature Reserve. It houses a wide variety of flora and fauna and is the ideal place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. There are special areas for golf, baseball, cricket, cycling and even canoeing, in addition to which it also has children's recreational parks so that the little ones are always entertained.
