"no words to describe the great views"
Bundle up for the stiff river breeze

John Street Park sits at a dramatic bend in the East River where the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges frame the skyline in one gorgeous sweep. Stroll pedestrian bridges over the tidal salt marsh, wander tree-lined paths, and find a rocky perch to watch the water and trains rattle overhead.
