Captain Tilly Park — Attraction in New York

Captain Tilly Park is a beautiful, small neighborhood park that excels as a peaceful sanctuary, though its potential is continually undercut by a lack of proper upkeep. What’s Good? The park offers excellent tree coverage and is a fantastic spot for a variety of activities: walking your dog, running, or just a peaceful stroll. While open areas are limited, the abundant shade and natural feel make it perfect for quiet enjoyment. The opportunity for goose and turtle watching adds a nice touch of nature. Plus, the new public restrooms and ample benches are huge benefits. The park is most active after 2 p.m. The Not-So-Good: The main issue is the overall cleanliness.

Aaaahhhh the Tilly Park, I used to walk and spend some time over there when I was a teen. It’s really nice and quite.

They were thinking I was cutting high school classes lmao. Great neighborhood but don’t walk alone...
