"A 102-acre green space prized for being calmer and shadier than the city's most popular park; visitors can rent boats to paddle on lotus ponds, follow a jungle-like jogging path, and use an elevated 'Green Mile' skywalk to get canopy-level views of wetlands and more than 90 bird species. The park also hosts concerts and outdoor films in the cooler months, making it a peaceful respite from urban bustle." - Katie Jackson Katie Jackson Katie Jackson is a New York City-based writer who covers travel, food, and more.
