Scenic. Beautiful. Clean. Great for running or working out.
Looking for a good place to run stairs? Look no further as there are multiple areas where it takes 140+ steps to walk from the bottom of the park to the top.- Harlem AmbassadorMarch 21, 2013Straddling Central Park, Columbia, & Central Harlem lies the perfect escape from other overrun parks nearby. Well maintained with a waterfall and duck pond with turtles & geese. Crowded on holidays.
This is a gorgeous park. However, it can be a bit shady if you are alone at night. People around here constantly warn you not to walk through the park at night, but I have never had a bad experience.- L. T.July 19, 2015Check out the farmers market on Saturday morning. Go for a nice walk or run! Lovely views of buildings in the background while in this park.
First in a series of narrow, linear parks north of Central Park in Manhattan; once sketchy, now pleasantly leafy. Busy @ weekends. A very steep shortcut between Columbia University and Harlem proper.
Ina LiOctober 8, 2015Go for a walk with your dog or have a barbecue with friend, and best of all, read by the lake when it's nice outside!
- There are 155 steps to climb to get to 113th Street and Morningside Drive from the bottom of the park. Why pay for a gym membership?
- BaileySeptember 22, 2019Scenic pathways, beautiful trees and very lush greenery in summer. It’s a very clean, well-kept park good for a walk, picnic.
Repo MApril 1, 2012Don't walk alone on the upper path between 116-118 without a dog. If you have a big dog, please walk there to keep the path safe.- Good place to go for a walk, run, playground for kids, etc.
One of the Hidden Gems in NYC. Walk up the stairs for and enjoy a view of Harlem. http://bit.ly/1051F5C
WeHarlemJuly 16, 2011You have to come here in the summer for Sundae Sermon events! Nice music and vibe!
Not one of my favorite parks, but the stairs and the views are nice.
Glenn McAnanamaMarch 14, 2010The Daffodils are just coming out - in a few weeks, the park will be full of flowers in the gardens and on the flowering trees. It's going to be great.

Be careful and avoid crossing through the park when it is late at night.
The perimeter is 1.55 miles. Run/walk it twice and that's a 5k.
Harlem World MagazineMarch 28, 2010There is nothing better than strolling along morningside park in the middle of the day anytime of the week.
