Fort Tryon Park

"Fort Tyron Park is an otherworldly park. With Romanesque architecture, breathtaking views of the George Washington Bridge, a garden named Heather, benches galore, and the best reading spots (Linden Terrace) in New York City, it's hard not to fall in love here. On an average day in the park, as you wind around the upward bends, you'll find anything from rock climbers, to photo shoots, to romantic picnic dates, to weddings, to families at the playground, to tourists and neighbors alike. On the south side, the park connects Inwood to its lovely neighbor, Washington Heights, and exits on Fort Washington Avenue." - Jeanne Henry

"Lush NYC Park Away from the Crowds Fort Tryon Park is a jewel. Much more off the beaten path for tourists and even locals, the 67-acre park is located in far northern Manhattan on towering cliffs with panoramic views of the Hudson River, the George Washington Bridge, and the New Jersey Palisades. The park's pedigree features impressive lineage. It was named after the last British governor of colonial New York and was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr., whose father was the architect of NYC's beloved Central Park. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. purchased the land in 1917 and gifted it to New York City in 1931. Due to its secluded location, there are far less crowds than other parks. Visitors can luxuriate in quiet corners and tranquility as they stretch their legs. This is the perfect spot for a (hilly) bike ride, run, stroll or walk. Be sure to visit the overflowing Heather Garden and the shaded views from Linden Terrace. The park also has two dog runs, world-famous medieval museum The Cloisters , and upscale eatery New Leaf Restaurant & Bar ."
