It is one of New York Citys most beautiful outdoor treasures and one of the best places to visit for relaxation. It offers easy, paved pathways for strolling, fine views, well-tended gardens, natural beauty, and fine picturesque and best of all, it is free.
Located in the north end of Manhattan in an area known as Washington heights, it is right beside the great

Yankee Stadium
and
Greenwich Village
