Sightseeing
This is the center point of the park. Visitors like having their pictures taken in front of it, a favorite is to put your hands in the air and pretend to hold up the globe. The water fountain on in the summer and look particularly impressive during the US Open when the water is lit up at night.

Great park, new modern architecture, and furniture. Arguably the best view of the Manhattan skyline in all of NYC. The only downside is that parking can be an issue in this part of town so make it here by public transit or Uber if you can.

This park is very nice and relaxing. Beautiful place to take a walk and wonder in the woods. The fields are well placed and lengthy. Several parking lots and there's a neat playground for the kids. There's also a dog park and several basketball courts. The area is safe and right off of the Grand Central Highway. It's right next to Union Turnpike where there are many local food spots to check up. Good spot to go and play in the snow in the winter as well.

Nice small zoo with a good selection of animals to see. Good for a nice afternoon outing with family or friends! They give you a guide so you know where all the animals are, and it’s got a lot of animals that are visible so you can actually see them. Much cheaper than the Bronx Zoo, so I would definitely recommend.
