Nature’s Haven in the City That Never Sleeps: Exploring NYC’s Iconic Parks and Gardens
1. Central Park:
Central Park is a must-visit destination in New York City.
You can start by exploring the seasonal flower displays in the Conservatory Garden which is meticulously landscaped and offers a tranquil setting. Don’t forget to take a stroll around the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir for stunning skyline views.
You can choose to explore the park on foot with a walking tour or cover more ground efficiently on an e-bike.
2. Battery Park:
Located at the southern tip of Manhattan Battery Park is a 25-acre green oasis with elegant flower displays and views of New York Harbor.
It’s also the departure point for ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island so consider combining a visit to these iconic landmarks with a walking tour of Battery Park’s waterfront area.
3. Prospect Park:
Situated in Brooklyn Prospect Park offers over 500 acres of green space. You can relax in meadows, walk along cobblestoned paths and visit the family-friendly zoo.
To make the most of your visit consider taking a walking tour to discover the park’s highlights and history.
4. Bryant Park:
Bryant Park is a hub of activity in the heart of Manhattan.
You’ll find a variety of recreational options including a carousel, a winter ice rink, gaming tables and ping pong.
The Reading Room is an ideal spot to enjoy a coffee and read a magazine. If you visit during the holiday season don’t miss the Bryant Park Winter Village market for some last-minute shopping.
5. The High Line:
The High Line is a relatively new addition to New York City’s parks and is located in the trendy Chelsea neighbourhood.
This elevated park was built on an old rail line and boasts public art installations, beautifully cultivated gardens and comfortable seating areas.
Taking a High Line walking tour can provide insights into the park’s history and its impact on nearby neighbourhoods like the Meatpacking District and Greenwich Village.
6. Gramercy Park:
Gramercy Park is a unique private park in the heart of the city. Access is restricted to keyholders of which there are only 400 in existence. While you may not be able to enter the park itself you can still get a glimpse of its beauty and history by joining a Gramercy Park neighbourhood walking tour.
