Beautiful park with many cherry blossoms during April. The lights also make the park very pretty at night. The park never gets very crowded, so it is generally always peaceful and quiet. Popular place for people to walk their dogs.

A hidden gem in NY/NJ area for hiking and picnic. A great blend of city and nature. You get expansive views of the skyline while still feeling removed from the noise, thanks to the river and surrounding greenery. Very peaceful and visually striking. Btw, there are plenty of parking lots.
