John V. Lindsay East River Park — Attraction in New York

Okay major construction as of Memorial Day 2025 has partitioned the north end of this park so take into consideration that's up to a two star deduction for non-track users but normally... This entire East River esplanade has a view to die for whether your walking, jogging, riding, enjoying the track and fields, playgrounds, fishing, hanging out, socializing or watching others do any of the above.
