Manhattan Avenue Park

Tucked at the very end of Manhattan Avenue, this waterfront clearing sits directly bordering an industrial area and a parking lot. Visitors looking for a quick break find a quiet patch of flower beds and large sitting stones facing the water. The experience can divide opinions: while some enjoy the direct views of Long Island City, others note the space feels less like a park and more like a paved dead-end, complete with a couple of cluttered, dilapidated sailboats tied to the edge.
