John V. Lindsay East River Park on Postcard

"Go for a Walk in East River Park Work days in the 'concrete jungle' are hectic. Long hours are spent indoors, sitting at desks. It's easy to forget that we live on an island. The East River Walk, beginning at 34th street and the FDR, is where I go to get away from the hustle and bustle. Looking out on the East River, I forget I'm in a city at all. Take a deep breath. Run/walk/bike/skip down to the Brooklyn Bridge and back. If you're brave, continue around to the West Side."

"Met my friends Jack and Chris for a walk in East River Park, which they’re trying to destroy. I want to telegraph that I’m not some guy who is bitching that things are changing, but I love this place and we have to hold on to it. It is really one of the best things about New York, and people don’t know about it."

Wonderful views with bearing perspective around every corner. little desk lit being next to the highway but still looking across the water you can see the current and tides ebb and flow surprisingly rapidly. Good place to go for a run or have a ride free from the traffic

Great park to watch sunset. I saw a dance performance as well, the view was a great backdrop. I like it because it's not overcrowded, but it's a bit of a walk from the trains. Great spot to go to near the lower east side or after walking the Williamsburg bridge.

In all kinds of weather this park is the best. Whether you run, play sports, do body weight workouts, like fishing, have dogs, or just want to go for a walk or a picnic, this is the place to go on the Lower East Side. It will be even better when the track is finished in (hopefully) Fall 2018. I hope to see you out there having a blast!

I was born and raised around this area of Williamsburg and I am so happy and proud of the way this area has flourished... This is a beautiful place to spend time with a your better half, family and friends. Very highly recommended.

Beautiful spacious park to come for a picnic, play games, bike ride or just sit back and enjoy the river view. Slowly this park is being improved, but its not as pretty as the west side battery park.

It’s really hard to enjoy this place right now. Construction takes over the majority of the park, leaving very limited areas to hang out and sit. It’s noisy next to the highway. I was hoping for a peaceful park near the water but didn’t find what I was looking for.

Absurd amount of what I believe was construction blockages. I’ve been running along the west side high/riverside drive for over 7 years- from battery park up to the George Washington bridge. Long story short, I had high hopes for the east river running and biking route but it was a complete let down. Will try again in 12 months
