NYC Parks | My top 3
I love a good park. Even though many people visit for our museums and night life. New York has so much more to offer. As the weather begins heating up ( 🤞🏾) i certainly plan to spend more time outside.
Here are my favorite parks to visit ⬇️
Yes I know it’s far but it’s definitely worth the trip to the Bronx ! It is a huge park perfect for a stroll or jog. It is also home to the oldest standing house in New York !
This park basically transports you out of the city. There are sooo many trails to choose from, I pick a different one every hike. There are also countless playgrounds, a race track and all the basics of a standard park ! But did I mention the abandoned railroad perfect for a photo opp !
This is one of my favorite picnic spots (looking at you public grills) . But it offers so much more! There is a skating rink, bike rentals, and even a zoo . But my favorite thing to do is sit by a lake and contemplate life 😂
