I visited FDR Park recently and really enjoyed the open space and greenery. There are nice walking paths, a few ponds, and plenty of spots to sit and relax. I saw people jogging, walking dogs, and just enjoying the outdoors, which made it feel lively but not crowded. It’s a nice place to take a break from the city and spend some quiet time outside.

Had so much fun at the Day of the Dead Celebration: Gran Fiesta de los Muertos this past October! The ofrenda was beautiful and the performances were awesome to see. Definitely enjoyed walking around the park as well!

The South Asian Market is a good time in FDR Park! There are vendors selling clothes..Boba Tea and Asian Foods! There are plenty vendors and the prices and reasonable! The smells make everything so inviting and it was great to sample many items! The foods reminded me of my time in Thailand and the flavor profiles were dead on! It was a good time and I will definitely return to sample more food.

What more can you say about this DIY skatepark created by and created for skaters! Amazing time seeing this place in real life and great to see the park being used and abused just like its supposed to be! RIGHTEOUS.

Great spot for a concert. Easy to and from with the trains right there. Misting fountains were fun but could totally surprise someone. I loved that there were fireflies at night too. I should have worn bug spray for the mosquitos on a hot humid night, but had a great time at the Make The World a Better Place concert.
