Exploring NYC Parks Beyond Central Park

Join me for a morning walk in Randall's Island Park -- in 360.⁠⁠ 😎⁠⁠ Oh, and while we're on the subject of parks, let me share some of my other favorite NYC parks. I know you've probably heard of Central Park, but that's only 1 of 1700+ options (and it's not even the biggest!).⁠⁠ 😮⁠⁠ Other NYC parks I absolutely love include:⁠⁠ 👇⁠⁠ Inwood Hill Park. If you love urban hiking, here is where you'll find Manhattan's only remaining wild forest + salt marsh.⁠⁠ 🌺⁠⁠ Pelham Bay Park. NYC's largest park! It's full of deer and you can hike to Orchard Beach.⁠⁠ 🌺⁠⁠ Fort Tryon Park. Go back to medieval times! The park is home to trails, gardens, and the Met Cloisters specializing in European medieval art and architecture.⁠⁠ 🌺⁠⁠ Carl Shurz Park. This local Upper East Side park has great picnicking, waterfront walks, and gardens. The mayor also lives here, and it's my favorite spot to watch the 4th of July fireworks without a huge crowd.⁠⁠ 🌺⁠⁠ Have any NYC parks to add to this list?⁠⁠ 🌲⁠⁠ p.s. You can swipe up in my IG Stories to discover my favorite places to hike *in* Manhattan -- as in, no need to leave the city! 😍 #BeyondTheGuidebook⁠⁠
