Morningside Park

Great park for walks and sitting on the benches. Great view of St John's on its lower level. There are some geese walking around so I am not sure about sitting on the grass.

A lovely place to wander around in any season. I was super lucky with the sunny weather and a good temperature in December! There is plenty of space for sports, cooking, or having a chat.

The park is only a short walk from Central Park and is well served by the Subway and bus, e.g. 125th Street

Visited in the summer. Lovely place to visit especially with kids. There are playgrounds, geese, ponds with tortoises and spaces for sports.
People can barbecue and have private events.

Beautiful park with morning sunshine. It feels so peaceful to hear children playing and see families gathering here for the weekend. It adds a hint of warmth and tranquility for life in this busy megapolis :)

A long thin park definitely worth a walk! Climbing up the few flights of stairs there will give you a lovely view as well and I would definitely recommend it. I have not done it at sunset but I assume it can be gorgeous too. Overall, definitely worth a calm and nice walk there to enjoy the park itself and the scenic view it gives over some parts of the city. If you walk it north to south you can then easily end your walk in Central Park which will be just nearby.

Fantastic park with a many visitors.
A long thin park that’s half on a hill.
The high side has lots and lots of stairs and meandering trails through the trees with views above and along giant stone walls. The lower, flat side has picnic tables and places to grill, a playground and athletic facilities, a sculpture …

This park is definitely more that meets the eye. From the cleanliness of the park, to the peace and tranquility, plus the scenery. Not to mention the free movie's in that park. Definitely a great experience.

A wonderful park in a wonderful part of town. Everyone has their own unique perspective on things, but I personally find that the Morningside area is such a great representation of the upper half of the island. When you explore the area around this beautiful park you'll find amazing and diverse architecture, culture, food, people, shops, and everything in between. While you're at the park be sure to walk up the stairs on the northwest side to the top, and follow the sidewalk south(ish - towards central park) to the statue for the best views. From there you'll be able to see the rooftops and buildings of almost all of Central and East Harlem, making it one of the very best views in all of Manhattan, and although it's wildly different from the scenery you'll get from the observation decks downtown, this one doesn't cost you a dime, and it's equally as rewarding because it gives you such a big look at what lies beyond Central Park.

Such a wonderful place to go for a walk either with family ,friends or just by yourself. It is not a big park but it is a perfect spot to scape from the noises in the city. Now it has the statue of liberty. She will be at the 120th street entrance. . Do not forget to follow me 😊🤗enjoy your visit to this new attraction there .

A small park but because of that, it’s really nice and intimate. It has a dog park, basketball courts, baseball fields, children’s playground, many flights of stairs which can be used for personal cardio workouts, and my personal favorite, the “waterfall” area. Many entrances/exits too.

There are many sections to be enjoyed in this park. The lower section has two small playgrounds, a nice-sized baseball field and a small basketball court. The middle has a bigger closed-in playground with sprinklers, climbing areas, and baby swings. Also, an open playground for older kids with swings, slides, ping-ping, and bigger basketball area with spectator seating. The upper is an even bigger enclosed playground that was recently renovated, but they kept the beloved bear. There are bathrooms throughout, and grilling is allowed in designated areas on many days. It's also has a nice path connecting it all that passes through a little waterfall. Wonderful place to spend the day for all ages!

I have never been there and didn't know they had turtles. Very nice park highly recommended taking a stroll.

Such a treat to have hot chocolate., donut and hot cider on a cold day.

BEAUTIFUL ❤ PARK, AMAZING FLOWERS 🌹 AND TREES. I BROUGHT MY MOM FOR HER HEALTHY WALK AROUND THE PARK. #nycparks

A long thin park that’s half on a hill. The high side has lots and lots of stairs and meandering trails through the trees with views above and along giant stone walls. The lower, flat side has picnic tables and places to grill, a playground and athletic facilities, a sculpture of Lady Liberty reclining, and benches by a lovely little pond with a dramatic view of the cathedral up above.

This is a great park. It's clean and it has several parks. There's a water park that opens in the summer. They also have swings and one basketball court. There are several slides, monkey bars and they have a tire swing. They also have public bathroom's. Highly recommended for families.

Beautiful scenery and quiet walk. Lots of dogs but was not an issue all on leashes. The parks department has a strong presence and manages the park well the police have a meeting area at top of park where I saw sts. Signing officers books meaning strong PD presence aswell. Clean and well kept a nice local oasis of nature. Highly reccommend for quiet walks and reflections by the turtle pound at 110 st. It was frozen when I visit but I know I have seen them sunning.

First visit today after finding this beautiful place.I found it quite magical,fresh green trees,old stone surroundings and steep steps,the reclining Liberty,nice energy.A perfect place to zone out solo.Not sure of the lake,its very green but the wildlife are very healthy and happy 💚

One of my favorite parks in the city. It offers a casual stroll or climb the six stories of stairs for a more vigorous workout. Grilling in summer and sledding in winter. All courtesy of the NYC Park and Rec.

The south end of the park and cathedral are very interesting. The park has walkways and stairs that are great for hiking or walking for exercise. Some staircases appear to at least 50 meters from bottom to top.
