Marsha P. Johnson State Park

The best place on a hot day

After Smorgasbord, the wife and I took a walk out to the shoreline and took in a great view of the Manhattan skyline

Fantastic park to come to with little kids. Clean and well maintained. Most important, it's the one place you can come in the area where there are no dogs. I wish there was tighter enforcement of the no-dog policy, though. I would gladly pay a fee every year to help defray the cost of more enforcement.

probably the most beautiful, underrated green space in nyc

This such a pretty park. There is a sprinkler area for kids, lots of walking paths with large vegetation, piano for public use, ample seating, & grass for picnicking! Definitely will be back. It is adjacent to an empty lot that had lot of garbage & smelled.

Didn't find many seating spots on out visit but I chalked it up to the season (warmer climes) and lowered my expectations on what was available. Got enough shade and comfy grass to rest for a few before heading home.
