Quiet little park along the Hudson River with plenty of benches and very nice views. Great spot to feel like you're away from the city for a while. You can head south to battery Park or walk a long ways north up the river. Check out the stairs with a bench on top for the best views.

A nice recently redone with nice paths and lots of new plants. There are quite a few places to get close to the stream and take nice pictures.

Very nice gardens where you can buy some produce and learn about gardening and composting. You can also meet the goats and chickens.

The line gets long here, but they handle it well and keep things moving quickly.

Some nice fountains amid well kept gardens with comfortable chairs. There are three fountains so hopefully you can find one without screaming children.
