🌸 NYC Spring - Step into a Stunning Ancient Greek Oil Painting Park

🌼 Untermyer Gardens Conservancy 🎫: FREE Nestled on a steep slope from the east bank of the Hudson River to the cliff tops, this park’s walled garden is a major highlight. Inspired by ancient Persian gardens of India, the white marble structures and steps leading down to the lake are truly unique. There’s even a small Greek-style open-air amphitheater. 🏛️🌿 This is a hidden gem in NYC, with architecture that feels straight out of ancient Greece. In spring, the park is lush with greenery and blooming flowers, making it feel like you’ve stepped into a oil painting world. 🌸🎨 At dusk, you can enjoy the sunset and evening glow from the open-air pavilion, creating a romantic atmosphere. 🌅💖 The park also features two facing sphinxes perched on Ionic columns, a classical gazebo, a colonnade and loggia, and a circular open-air temple known as the Temple of the Sky. 🦁🏛️ A long staircase leads from the walled garden to a lookout point with stunning views of the river and the Palisades. The park is rarely crowded, making it perfect for a spring stroll, flower viewing, and take photos to mark the visit. 📸🌷 #SpringFlowerSpots #HiddenGemFlowerLocations #SpringOutings #StudyInTheUSA #NYCParks #NYCLife #NorthAmerica #HealingParks #NYCWeekendGetaways #StunningCityParks
