Lighthouse Park

"Lovely place to stroll around and relax. Contains a unique outdoor sculpture as well as the historical lighthouse."

"This is one of my new favorite places in New York City. The serenity, great views, and historic walking trail are just a few reasons you should come check this place out."

"I came to Roosevelt Island often by train and mostly hung out by the bottom of Island and never come up to the top of Island. Today I came by car because I also took my dog with me. It was different feeling coming this way and I have to park my car at the parking lot because on the side street only allow the Island resident to park. I walked about 15 minutes to the Lighthouse, and it wasn't crowded at all on Saturday. The park was nice and has some Arts make the park more interesting. Around lighthouse has big curb to sit and see east river and you can enjoy view of both side of Manhattan and Queens. Compare to the bottom of the Island I think the feeling isn't the same. Down there is more to the ocean and up here is more river vibe. I also heard in the summer lots of people like to come to this park for BBQ. It such a nice park. There are many ways to come to this Island by train, car, furry or even on foot."

"It's always fun to walk around Roosevelt Island when the weather is nice. The views over to Manhattan and Queens are great, and the Lighthouse Park has some cool art installations to explore in addition to the lighthouse itself. The island has some great restaurants and coffee places, and so you can make a day or half day of it when exploring."
