Tired of running in circles through Central Park ? Run along the east river and across the bridge at 125th street to Randall's Island for 4.5 miles of pedestrian pathways-- Jess, Fit Chick in the City
Nice island . Great to run around if you want to extend a run along the East River .
Electric Zoo festival is the best event held here.
Great place to have picnics or go for a run.
Come run the Urban Mudder when it's on. Try not to do it during the hottest part of the day.
Perfect for a picnic ! True summer
Go the first day for EZoo, less crazy crowds and the porter potties are the cleanest they'll be all weekend. duh.
It wasn't worth the money. The costumes were great and so were the actors but they could have done a better job. It was NOT scary and you will be disappointed. (Haunted Hayride )
Come here to play soccer ⚽️ ????!
Great escape from the city ! Walking bridge entrance on 103rd.
Amazing for EDM festivals
