Not to be confused with the actor Robert Wagner, this park pays homage to former NYC deputy mayor, Robert F. Wagner Jr. It's located in Lower Manhattan, just west of Battery Park. The park provides great views of the Hudson River, New Jersey, the Statue of Liberty and it serves as an entryway to the manmade enclave of Battery Park City. A couple of other highlights in the park are the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the Skyscraper Museum.
City Hall Park
Since 1653, City Hall Park has been a center of civic activity in New York. Serving as a home for rebels during the Colonial era and housing several important government buildings, this park now provides a tranquil space amid the hustle and bustle of the city. Major institutions such as New York City Hall, New York City Department of Education and the infamous Tweed Courthouse are all nestled on this block which extends to Chambers Street. Inside the park itself, you will find monuments, fountains and statues of personalities who played an integral role in the city's history. Otherwise, this tranquil park bustles every afternoon with government employees, newlyweds who visit the courthouse nearby, and tourists who come for a short stroll. Self-proclaimed gourmets come here to shop at the farmer's market held from March to December.
Nolan Park
Located on the Governor’s Island within the Manhattan borough, Nolan Park is a lush green four-acre (1.61 hectares) recreation facility for locals and tourists alike.
