Nice peaceful place if you need to escape Manhattan and its tumult. Follow the woodland trails for a more ‘rustic ’ experience, even cool on rainy days !

A bit of a trek to get out to (especially if the 1 isn't running when you do...) but a nice place to visit for a summer afternoon. Plenty of gazebos and benches tucked away among the plants and paths
