Best Places To Run New York Near Me

Melita L: to get on the tram, but to avoid the long line to buy a card, buy it at another location! The best deal for me was the unlimited, one-week MetroCard for $33. I could get on/off any bus & subway! Roosevelt Island has an elevated park with views to of Manhattan on one side & Brooklyn/Queens on the other. There’s a little lighthouse on opposite end of RI. Free red bus on island too.

Columbia Vitolo Team Compass: Great neighborhood dog run at Laight and the Hudson River. The is a water element for the dogs when it gets hot. Run has two parts one for small dogs and another for big dogs. This is the go to dog run for TriBeCa and Soho residents.

robert wambser: Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No Free entry Yes

Nella McDi: We knew that we weren’t going to be able to do the whole park with the limited time we had. We visited the last Saturday in June. We started at the southern end. With a quick visit to the Plaza hotel. Someone online had suggested doing the park in this order and it worked out fantastically.Our first stop was Gapstow Bridge, it was beautiful with the city skyline as a gorgeous backdrop. Woolman rink was the next stop which had an enormous number of tennis courts.Central Park carousel was very nice. Went down to the Mall, there is a bandshell and bunch of buskers. We really enjoyed Bethesda terrace and the fountain with the backdrop of a lake, beautiful setting. Wagner cove has the bow bridge, a couple were getting engaged while we were there. Strawberry fields was very nice, not what I expected, I thought it would be a huge open area but it was a treed area very peaceful had lots of benches. There is circle on the ground that says imagine that people get their picture taken. There was a young lady Star span, had a great voice and sang Beatles music By this point we were hungry and still had a good chunk of the park to go. We went to the 72nd street diner and split a grilled chicken sandwich. It was amazing and best of all reasonably priced. They had an awesome selection of foods. Would definitely come back, wish we had a place like that back home.We stopped at the ladies pavillion to have our lunch, they had covered benches by the water and best of all there was a gentleman playing music and singing. It was awesome.Walked through the ramble. Then went to Belvedere castle make sure to climb the stairs to the top, it is free to get in. Beautiful scenery from both observation decks. Walked past the obelisk and behind the met and walked to the Guggenheim. We did that all in 3.5 hours with some breaks to sit and have lunch. Central Park is beautiful, so many different areas to explore. I’m sure we just scratched the surface. There are so many benches all over the park and many artists playing and singing scattered all over. We saw people selling water, fruit cups and ice cream. I was expecting to see actual food venues, maybe they are in different parts of the park that we did not go to. So if we came back I would pick up lunch before coming into the park so that we could avoid having to leave the park to get food.It is an amazing park that you could visit again and again. We had no time to actually go into the museums, maybe the next time we are back.

Karen Ashley: Playground: Includes all the usual playground stuff, but there is a water spout type area for kids to get wet.Restrooms: There are restrooms right near the playground.Picnic area: Nice area with open spaces. Bring your tent for shade and chairs. There are no standard picnic tables provided. Great for all size venues.

Amelia Tavarnesi: Summer time isn't bad since it is covered and the hose is on, so it's cleaner. But once the water is turned off, don't go, it's not clean

Johnny Oquendo: Nice

Maria Gellibert: I loved

Foster McLaughlin: I love it here on the weekends when the park is full and everyone is having a great time. I dont like though that the parks department does not hold people accountable for their mess. It ruins the park for everyone later on. I feel like there should be parks people present during the weekend holding people accountable for the waste they bring and leave behind.My backyard! Beautiful! Great place to escape and feel like you have some space to breathe. Amazing space to go for runs and never feel like it's dull.Playground: There are 2 playgrounds on both the North side and South side of the parkRestrooms: There is a public restroom near the Isham and Seaman entrance.Dog-friendliness: So many dogs here and a great dog run too.Picnic area: Such a beautiful place for a picnic and in the peninsula where the little league park is you can barbeque there only.

kenneth hollins: Nice place, the whole pier is nice

Jake Forrester: Great dog action. Two separate parks for small and large dogs. Pool in the back for dogs.

Gustavo González Menoyo: You can't miss a walk on the high line

gerhard krenn: Grüne Oase am Südzipfel von Manhattan...Grosse Hundefreilaufzone.Kontrast zwischen Grünem und Hochhäusern ist sehr gut.

אבריימקה אייזנשטיין: פארק חוויתי, רחב ידיים. מסלול מדהים לאופניים!
