From the south end there is what appears to be a divine ice cream stand. There is also a toddler-oriented playground that would be difficult to get a child to leave. There are wonderful views of the Wall St. skyline. At the north end, there is a vintage carousel in a modern glass cube---just $2 a ride. I saw it... More

Great place to take children and dogs for a respite from the city. You can even cookout by the water, or play a game of football. There is a dog park and wonderful spaces for children to play.
