There's another gate on 49th if you're not a fan of the stone steps at the main entrance.
Nice place to go for a casual stroll with a special someone 😉
A very nice spot with beautiful trees and view of river. Really annoying people are frequently here though--I wish they were more like their dogs - Rebecca Bigman
This place reminds me of The Elysian Fields of Greek Mythology. - CJ Stryker

Scenic pathways, beautiful trees and very lush greenery in summer. It’s a very clean, well-kept park good for a walk, picnic. - Bailey
NYC is great at little pockets of green space. This is a nice quiet place to take your lunch or sit and contemplate while looking out onto the wonderful views of the Brooklyn Bridge and East River - ℳ𝒶𝓎♍
