Central Park W & Columbus Ave (btwn W 77th St & W 81st St) New York , NY 10024 United States
Check out the terrace that faces the planetarium . Great place to hang on a sunny day, and splash around in the fountains if you want to cool off!
Charming little park to relax in. Near the American museum of natural history.
This quiet little park nestled near the Museum of Natural history is perfect for a summer night... Major fireflies in the fields and a great dog park to boot!
Go up the stairs for sprinklers and quiet grassy area . Note the stone becomes slippery when wet.
This info is so out of date as a multi year enormous museum building construction project is long now underway in the park ! So much in your list is no longer accurate.
Great neighborhood park
Nice park just beside the museum .
Good place to grab a bench and relax for a little while.
Check out the dog park ! Lots of cuties and nice people
Go up to the Arthur Ross terrace if its open. Great fountains and just to hang out.
Good place for people and dog watching. :)
Check out the structure in front! Its about how we live today and to be opened 1000 years from now. Great idea
A good place to enjoy your Shake Shack burger or shake.
Great to sit down with your shake shack.
Currently the only charmander nest in nyc. Caught 6 in 1.5 hr.

Benches are nice but no real grass to sit on

Небольшой парк у Музея естественной истории. На монументе нобелевских лауреатов-американцев Бродский, конечно, поименован.
Парк возле музея - курить нельзя.
Lugar muito bonito. ..
野生のリス発見…どこにでもいるなぁ。

Nice little place in the West Village... get a coffee and sit during a nice winter day, or enjoy a chill drink here in the summer. - Paul Lancaster
Gets very crowded on weekends, but definitely always a fun place to visit with kids! - Paige C
One of the very few hamburgers I'd actually enjoy. Variety of choices. Cheese fries were amazing. - Staci Stevens
If you are interested in learning about the cosmos and space exploration, this is the place for you! All of the exhibits are great, but my favorite one was the dark universe. Try them all! - William Doonan
