One of the largest parks in the City, this 57-acre expanse spans Montgomery Street to East 12th Street along the FDR Drive, with views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. The park offers multiple sporting venues, including baseball fields, basketball courts and tennis courts—and, in the summer, the ampitheater often features musical performances from local artists.
