If walking to the Vernon Blvd Metro it´s worth a 10-15 min detour for the nice views of Manhattan and some good photo opportunities. Playground for the kids as well. Freezing cold in February though.
My wife and I went to the park today for the very first time .We found it to be a very interesting park with beautiful views on Manhattan.
go have a beer by the ferry, enjoy the dog park and watch them play king of the hill. Lots of restaurants and bars in the neighborhood on Vernon Blvd.
Walked along the waterfront here on a recent trip to a LIC neighborhood. Even though it was November there were still a few roses hanging on. Saw ducks and squirrels. We watched boats on the river. A nice quiet place in a busy city.
Gorgeous views of the east-side Manhattan skyline here. Just walk out onto one of the piers that jut into the East River, and feast your eyes, day or night. Such fun to take in the scene on the Queens side, too, as there is a park and in the warmer weather, lots of activity. Parking is a pain, which is the only downside. It's a magical spot.
...across the water to Manhattan. I bet this would be a lovely spot in the Summer. Nice areas to sit and enjoy the view. If you're into chess, take some pieces and have a game on the boards there.
It s igood place to walk at the riverside. You will see manhatan from the other side of East river. Évery day i walk there
Great night view. You can look the remarkable New York skyline across the East River. This is also a nice place for jogging. The you are expected to spend lots of time for finding a parking spot if you drive there.
Great view of the city, especially "Manhattan-henge"...looks right down 42nd st. Parking is tough, so take public transportation if you can.
Even though the view is what draws people in, the park itself is worth the trip. There are many elements to this park, including walking paths and sidewalks along side the East River, benches and "lounge" chairs; fishing piers, playgrounds, gardens and the ferry launch. It's beautiful; an inventive use of the Riverside and the old gantries.
