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!

Elizabeth Lee

Charming little park to relax in. Near the American museum of natural history.

Jacqueline Weppner

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!

Roger Schonfeld

Go up the stairs for sprinklers and quiet grassy area . Note the stone becomes slippery when wet.

Steve Anderson

This info is so out of date as a multi year enormous museum building construction project is long now underway in the park !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.

Небольшой парк у Музея естественной истории. На монументе нобелевских лауреатов-американцев Бродский, конечно, поименован.
