I stumbled upon this wonderful spot while researching free things to do in the city. It's conveniently located near the Highline, making it a perfect addition to your visit.
It’s an oasis of calm amidst the bustling energy of New York. The moment you step onto the place, you're transported to a serene natural environment. It's an ideal escape from the city's hectic pace.
This charming place has something for everyone. There's a small park for kids to enjoy, and you'll find a few places to grab a bite or a drink. But what I loved most was the opportunity to simply sit by the river and savor the tranquility. The view of Manhattan is absolutely breathtaking, offering a unique perspective of the city's iconic skyline.
The best part is that it's free to visit, making it accessible to all. Whether you have 30 minutes or an hour to spare, I highly recommend including this place in your itinerary. It's a fantastic way to enjoy astonishing views and experience a different side of New York City. Don't miss out on this hidden treasure!
Little Island is a lovely spot to go for a “little” stroll. They have trails you can follow with little fun things to do or find on certain corners, like those spinning arts, music tiles and a couple more. If there are no events, there isnt really much to do here other that walk around, chill and enjoy the view.
We loved our fall visit as the weather was fine and of course we get to enjoy the colours of this “garden”. I actually like that it was just a simple, no-pressure and stress-free visit. Plus in just an hour or so, youve pretty much have explored the whole area.
Great addition to NYC for sure.
Lovely little park for a walk. Probably better in the summer. I was there early so not many people. Nice views of the city. Good for wheelchairs. They have a small stage area. You can do a self guided tour by scanning a QR code. Area with chairs and tables to enjoy lunch. Overall nice place to visit.
