Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park

Fodor's Review:

This charming 9-acre park is a great place for a riverside picnic, or just enjoying the view. The large playground includes a replica of a boat for make-believe voyages across the East River. From April to October the park is home to a wide range of arts performances, and on Thursday nights in July and August Movies with a View projects New York classic films on an outdoor screen with no cover charge.
