Manor Park winds around the Long Island Sound, and also includes Manor Beach. It is a one-of-a-kind site. A magnet for residents and visitors, it is open to the public till dusk. The landscape architects Olmstread and Vaux had a hand in its late 19th century design. Seats are often stone perches in the site's stone boulders and the natural materials of the park are used in paths and steps. Iconic structures--two gazebos, and a small Umbrella Point are outlooks to the ever-changing sea views.A small natural harbor serves as home for a boat club, part of the park's 13 acres.
I love to ride my bike to the park and read on the rocks overlooking the water. Plenty of places to sit and hideaway while enjoying the nice weather. Good for long walks with beautiful scenery.
this is a near-by place where you can still get away from it all, so to speak. Situated on the Long Island Sound, with distant views of the Manhattan skyline - just visible - along with a beautiful vista looking East to the horizon over the LI Sound. Clean, calm, relaxing…so pleasant for walking or just sitting and staring….ahhh…..
Manor Park is an historic seaside park with a beautiful view of the yacht basin and beyond. It is a popular place for photographers, picnics and dog-walkers.
I lived here several years ago. Would come to the park often and found it a great place to unwind, relax and enjoy natural beauty.
Just a walk to this park makes you feel like you are on vacation. With it's gazebos and its rocks it is absolutely beautiful. Never crowded, you can see Connecticut and Long Island. Just a great place to sit and relax and enjoy the beauty of the Sound
A place for enjoying nature, for meditating and for being at peace. A lovely park on the sound where birds and children play and adults relax.
Small park separated by rocks from Long Island Sound. Crowded on nice days, though there's not much to do. Rules forbidding food and even soft drinks are strictly enforced by a park patrol. There are no toilet facilities. Parking is next to impossible. A "virtual" country club for those who don't belong to one and instead find a patch of ground to set up a folding chair and imagine that they're somewhere else. Don't bother.
I've been going to Manor Park for over 70 years and it has been a refuge, a place of contentment, a romantic walk and a great place to watch the sailboats from Larchmont Yacht Club.
I lived up the street from Manor park and I would go there to relax and enjoy the Long Island sound, the quiet and rippling of the water calms and clears your head nice cool breeze to feel on your face....close your eyes for a moment and breathe just listening to the sounds of the water and watch the sail boats in the distance, Love the seating lots of rocks to sit on and grass for a picnic. has a path to walk all around the water front. You wont be disappointed .
