A lovely neighborhoodpark on the eastern edge of Yorktown in the UES. There are two dog parks and benches all along the water with great views. Very calming especially in the evenings.
A fantastic hidden gem on the UES. I never really ventured into the park until last weekend. Cute spots to sit, convenient dog parks, and Gracie mansion is in this park, too!...all along the east rivr
Places to Run: Enter at 84th Street and take the Bobby Wagner Walk, lying along the East River. Run 2.2 miles to 125th Street, to enjoy breath-taking views of the East Riverislands. Read more
A hidden gem on the Upper East Side. Perfect for running, catching the sunrise, walking your dog, or just as an escape from the hustle of the rest of the city. Especially beautiful in the spring!
This park is an UES gem. Beautiful walk ways, views and plenty of places to lounge or picnic. Also the home of Gracie Mansion. Bring your dog! Excellent dog parks for both large and small pups.
Stumbled upon this gem whilst doing #DontWalkBY with my amazing team on V-day. Great dog run and running path if you're in the UES. Great view of the East River even on a snowy day.
Carl Schurz Park is a perfect place to relax for those who look for grassy areas outside of Central Park. A small field is perfect for sunbathicng or reading and a dog park lets pets run around.
Sunbathe or sit in the shade under a tree in the less visible areas hidden behind the stair case at the entrance at 86th St. The area to the north of the staircase is great too.
Getting away from the hustle of the city isn't going to Central Park but to a more secluded one like Carl Schurz. East River breeze, rewarding views, basketball courts, space for running it's all here
Sit on one of the benches by the East River, toward the top of the park behind Gracie Mansion, and you'll get a cool breeze, a great view and a bit of serenity of soaking up the water vibe!
