"Great cities are defined as much by their parks and open spaces as by their architecture," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. We couldn't agree more.

Lower Manhattan's crown jewel is Battery Park, with its stunning views of New York Harbor. It's the starting point for a paved recreational path that winds up the West Side of Manhattan, offering gorgeous Hudson River views while you jog, bike, skate, or stroll. And throughout Downtown, you'll find green parks, playgrounds, and beautifully landscaped plazas  great places to relax, play and enjoy the outdoors.
