Great place to people-watch, sunbathe, read, eat, etc.
Prime sunbathing time is between 10:30am and 3pm; we suggest you claim your spot early on this 15-acre expanse, one of the most popular ray-catching spots in NYC. Read more.
The 15 acres of lush green fields used to actually house sheep, but now is a haven for sunbathers and picnics.
Great park that's open to the public, but little-known to people outside stuy-town. Best known for the farmers market in the fall, ice rink in the winter, and of course sunbathers in the summer.
The main reason why I live here. Fantastic spot to sunbathe, read and relax on weekends after a hectic NYC work week.
In 1609, 400 years ago, you would be standing in the East River! Settlers used dirt from leveled hills among other resources to manufacture the Stuyvesant Town we know today! Read more.
great place to sunbathe on the weekends 😎
Great grassy area for picnics, sports, people watching & laying out in the sun for sunbathing.
A must visit when in the park especially during the summer months as individuals sprawl on it. Read more.
Sunbathe or sit in the shade under a tree in the less visible areas hidden behind the stair case at the entrance at 86th St. The area to the north of the staircase is great too.
Gorgeous in the fall! Good for sun bathing in the spring and summer...hotter than you'd think for a park next to the water.
Beautiful spot to read while watching the sunset in the summer time.
Come up the top deck and take a nice sunbathe
The elevated grass patches and benches make it a nice place to sunbathe in the summer though noise from the nearby heliport can get loud.
The lawn roof/floating park has an amazing view of Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Bridge. Great place to hang and admire the scenery.
This sprawling grassy lawn is the perfect place to play casual pick-up games or sunbathe.
Lots of sunbathing and really runners!
Great place to lounge on the grass, soak up some sun, and people watch! Nice view of the Belvedere Castle, too. Just watch out for any incoming baseballs, footballs, and frisbees.
Best place to walk, sunbath in this summer, have picnics and "get lost" and walk through beautiful pathways!
Un espacio antes desperdiciado se convierte en una parada obligada para los turistas. Almuerza, mientras ves a la gente pasar y trata de apoderarte de una de las tumbonas para tomar sol.
Amazingly beautiful place! Bring a friend along, enjoy the many views, have lunch on one of the tables, pick up a gelato from the vendor, sunbathe.
Great sunbathing place in the right weather & season!
Get here early on summer weekends. It gets packed pretty quickly!
Stretch your legs atop Cedar Hill.
Lots of dog owners congregate here before 9AM. Great unobstructed sun all morning until about 3PM. Quieter than Great Lawn or Sheep Meadow because the slope discourages sports.
Great park to walk at night. More gards than people but amazing and relaxing view of the river.
“My history is a Hudson River history,” said Albert Butzel in a 1997 Talk piece about his battle against highway expansion and for the park’s creation. It only took him twenty years. Read more.
Summer 2011- Inconsiderate sunbathers- share the wealth (grassy slope speaking) people, share the wealth!
Still has the old NY feel, it's a great spot to people watch or hang out in the nice weather with a book. Plenty of good food and bars around. Beautiful in the spring and home to a family of Hawks
Head over to the dog park, pretend to give one of the furry little guys a scratch on the head but actually whisper how much you hate dogs into the lil' guy's ear. "Why you gotta poop everywhere?!"
This park has everything. Biking and jogging along the river, kayaking in it, great sunsets, sunbathing, picnicking.
Whether you're sunbathing or dogwalking or whatever, it is the sight from the park to all the beautiful buildings around it that makes this park so special whenever you go.
One of my favorite parks in NYC. Come here, sit, enjoy the view and relax. If you are hungry, Shake Shack is around the corner.
Today, I was here to unveil "Red, Yellow and Blue" by NYC-based artist Orly Genger. The exhibit runs through September 8, 2013.
It's right in the middle of the city, there's a big green lawn for sunbathing on, plenty of chairs, free wifi, outlets, events, classes, readings... it's wonderful.
Good for catching a midtown lunch, sunbathing or just people watching.
Great place to hang on a good weather day. Can read, picnic, study, relax, sun bathe or people watch.
Probably the coolest small park in the world. Great vibe, good street musicians, simply lovely when the weather is nice.
Home to a free summer music festival since 1953, where music “usually heard in the sanctity (some might say imprisonment) of small concert halls” mixes with the elements, as described in 1987. Read more.
