? Carl Schurz Park
This picturesque park, partially hidden along the East River, is one of the city’s best-concealed secrets. A stroll along the promenade provides beautiful views of the river, the Roosevelt Island Lighthouse, the Triborough Bridge, Randall’s and Wards islands, and, of course, Gracie Mansion, the 18th century mansion that serves as the Mayor’s official residence. Carl Schurz Park is one of the city’s most dog-friendly–two dog runs offer plenty of space for pups to run around and mingle.

Called the “Gateway to the Bronx River,” Soundview Park is situated where the Bronx River opens into the East River.
