FDR Four Freedoms Park

A true hidden gem , this park features monumental architecture with an amazing location in the middle of the East River . The tram across Manhattan is worth it on its own.

This is a great part of any visit to Roosevelt Island . Great views of the east side of Manhattan and the historic Pepsi cola sign. Great bathrooms !

Small park at the lower tip of Roosevelt Island . Not too much to see but a nice place to sit and chill for an afternoon while enjoying the scenery.

Almost no tourist visit Roosevelt Island . Though, if dime spare time is available, the red cherries pathway and this park provide some relax and wonderful sights.

Really cool way to kill a few hours hanging out or relaxing. A quiet , beautiful space in the heart of the city .

The late architect Louis Kahn designed the site in a triangular shape to draw focus toward the southern tip of the island , which is where a bronze bust of Roosevelt by sculptor Jo Davidson is located.

Sunday afternoon is the BEST time to spot the seaplanes arriving from the Hamptons. Watch on the Queens side of the park .

The staff is great! Victoria told lots of interesting facts about the park and explained why eating is not allowed and why there is no access to the most southern point of the park .

A beautiful park at the tip of Roosevelt Island . Take the tram over from Manhattan and enjoy the amazing views of the city .

Very beautiful with amazing panoramas of the NYC skyline. No bikes allowed in the park , so be prepared to lock up.

Really neat design and style for this memorial park for FDR... also provides great views of Manhattan

Beautiful park with lots of space and amazing views . Still needs some official signage en route and at the entrance for confused tourists .

Beautiful little park to take in a great view of the city and get lost in a good book .

The scenery is spectacular. You're crazy not to come here. What peace …

Some great views of Manhatten Island , take the cable car across East 59th Street!

You can find the renderings for the park at their website! Try to spot the "room" from the RI Tram or Queensboro bridge !

Incredible views of Long Island and Manhattan. Nice and calm .

Pure shame they don't leave this place open until sunset as they once claimed. People trek out here only to be disappointed. They have taken public land & made it an unwelcoming, "policed " PARK .

Amazing! Try not to go in the middle of summer — so hot! But it is worth it.

Super views of Manhattan and queens!
