Nelson A. Rockefeller Park - North Cove Yacht Harbor

Nelson A. Rockefeller Park, Battery City, New York

Nelson A. Rockefeller Park overlooks Jersey City of the Hudson River with a large children's playground and a quaint serene Japanese welcome gate intersects River Terrace and Warren Street.

North Cove Yacht Harbor

With only about 20 slips reserved for some very impressive private yachts and sailboats, the well-kept North Shore Marina is primarily limited to the well-heeled owners and their (very appreciative) guests. However,  the Manhattan Sailing Club and School also hosts a fleet of boats at the marina. Although the price is high, membership is open to all that can foot the bill. And boat or no, an evening stroll along the waterfront by the marina is a great way in of itself to escape the city steam.
