Reviews of Russell Peterson Wildlife Refuge
"No charge to walk the lovely wildlife boardwalk trail. Beautiful marshlands. Didn't see any animals, not even birds which seemed strange. Still enjoyed looking at all the plants, water and flowers. There is an air- conditioned information center, if you have any questions when you arrive. Also, you can walk up the stairs in the building and get good views of the city and wildlife area. The walking/ bicycle trail is 5 miles and goes to Battery park, (so we were told). Sounds like fun!"
"Visited July 4th evening. Nice walk. Lovely relaxing environment and beautiful pond, and flora. Can't wait to visit again."
"This place was amazing. Well set up and a great space away from the hustle of the city. The boardwalks were well maintained. Clean restrooms available. Lots of people out for walks, runs, and bike rides. The sounds of the birds was very soothing! Area felt very safe!"
"Worth visiting if you like to a long walks. The wildlife refuge starts at the end of River walk. Very scenic place especially during evening you can find very beautiful sunset. I have uploaded few evening sky shots and sun set shots. You can either walk or take a ride on bike on the bridge. This ride will go till the start of River walk. For restrooms you will have to use the ones in restaurants beside the board walk. For this you need to ride for 5 mins towards River walk starting point."
"Beautiful place to walk even now in November! Very nice touches like bicycle racks and a bicycle station that had tools for fixing a bike and air pumps for the tires. The Visitor Center is a lovely place to stop and the restrooms are open at least at this point in time."
