Amazing little hidden park . Go down the right side, to the lower level by the waterfall , and find a peaceful spot away from the sounds of the city .

Mike Malul

With its 25-ft-high waterfall cascading over the rear wall and artfully landscaped trees and plantings, this is truly an oasis of serenity for residents and those who work in the area. Built in 1970.

Love the fresh made pineapple mint sodas , not sure what the no pics are about other than its a hidden gem where people are getting away from all the touristy pics

Karen Cooper

One of my favorite outdoor places to eat your to-go lunch in this neighborhood . Surprisingly peaceful . Feels like an escape ... which, it probably is if you're in midtown ;)

The Corcoran Group

We love this perfect and secluded oasis - bring your lunch , enjoy an afternoon read or soak up some sun next to the beautiful waterfall .

Irene Aurovsky

Peaceful and pleasant. Good escape from the noise of the city .

The tiny park is easy to miss, but a small fountain of cascading water will make it worth a second look.

Queen Tetia

Come here when you are looking for a place to escape the craziness of the office and take time to regroup. Also an excellent spot for lunch

Dave McGrath

Find a time when there aren't many people around and check out the base of the waterfall . I found 8 dollars and 75 cents worth of change AND an earring!

If you're going to try and snap a photo be stealthy! They frown upon such things! Great place to wow a date before headed out on the town later!

Teresa

Other guy was right! Get your bagel at ess-a-bagel, and then come here to enjoy the waterfall . Slightly sunny and quiet :)

The roar of the waterfall drowns the rest of the world out in a way that, whether you need it or not, you learn to quickly treasure. Bring a laptop, book , or mental hammock ...
