South Cove Park

"That is a hidden gem in Lower Manhattan! Great little spot by the Hudson River, few blocks away from World Trade Center. There is a street with restaurants next to it so you can easily grab a takeout and have in this park. It’s all surrounded by trees and flowers but also offers beautiful view to the World Trade Center One building. There is also an elevated are with bench offering nice lookout to Statue of Liberty and New Jersey."

"Cute little outdoor space to walk, bike, chill and enjoy the scenery by yourself or with others."

"It's a very pleasant place with trees and Hudson river to the west side. There are enough benches for seating. Extra attractions are some murals and statues. I like the violin or sitar on the ground art. Some tourists and local inhabitants are always walking around"

"This park is hidden in/next to Battery Park and is one of the nicest spots in the whole city. It’s incredibly well maintained, with amazing views, and is rarely crowded. At night, it’s especially beautiful and well lit. A total gem. Also, being next to Battery Park and the pier there are tons of opportunities to explore after checking this spot out. You can see some awesome Yachts in the marina as well as eat/drink. This park has a unique viewing platform I think is awesome as well. Recommend walking up there and taking it in or sitting at the waterfront benches. It’s also incredibly safe here which is always important."
