"The park itself is worth the trip on the A train. The space is rich in history (it served as a battleground in the Revolutionary War) and ideal for all ages and species as it boasts eight miles of pathways for walkers and joggers, the city's largest dog park, and two playgrounds, as well as plenty of lawn space for picnics. The Heather Garden, Manhattan's biggest, contains over 500 varieties of plants and the Linden Terrace provides unobstructed views of the Hudson River." - Michaela Bechler
