Hell's Kitchen has a quaint communal garden which is limited access to the public on weekends only…read more During the week it is accessible with a key to residents in this neighborhood. Clinton Community Garden is a teaching garden and enables all to hone the importance of growing vegetables, plants and bloom flowers. There are benches for resting and lots of green. Very well maintained. Clinton Community Garden is a great example of a unification of a community and building bridges in working toward a common goal of a healthier environment and healthy living.

What a great little place in concrete city, in the middle of the block to have this opportunity for…read morethe residents in the neighborhood, to have a green space, and to learn a thing or two about the importance of eating vegetables. Clinton Community Garden is open to the public 20 hours every weekend (10 hours Sat & Sunday). The rest of that time, it is closed off for residents or for those who have key access. Children and residents in this neighborhood does have access 7 days a week (which is fantastic) to learn how to eat healthy, grow their own vegetables, and live a healthy lifestyle. What I like most about the garden is the opportunity for residents in this neighborhood to get out of their apartments, and have a special space to call their very own, whether it be vegetations or to plant beautiful flowers. What an awesome way of team collaboration, and for the young minds to learn nature in the heart of West Side Manhattan!!

Wheelchair traveler review. Unfortunately, I have to give…read morethis place a poor rating because it is definitely not wheelchair friendly. I couldn't go inside with my family. I had to wait on the sidewalk while they quickly looked around. They told me it was really nice and I think the idea is fantastic but it needs to be wheelchair friendly.

What a delightful little garden to relax in!! I happened upon the garden while waiting for the…read moreDaily Show call time. I'm so glad the gate was open, even though it wasn't during posted hours. I found a mini-beach where I could get sandy feet while relaxing in an adirondack chair, a bathtub of goldfish for zen-like pond watching, wind chimes hidden in a tree, butterflies dancing between flowers, a vegetable garden, bees doing their pollinating work, and yes, even a mouse foraging for its share. For those who live near the garden, it also seems to have composting bins in the back, to help supply fertilizer for the garden and perhaps neighbors as well. It's certainly an Oasis in the city, with only a hint of noise from nearby 10th Ave, and very little traffic along 52nd St. My only reason for deducting a star is that it doesn't seem like it would be open often enough for many passersby to enjoy.

This public plaza is little pocket park and is located at 50th Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan…read morewith a cool waterfall that displays different color lights throughout the year. It includes a landscaped greenery and places to sit and to relax darning the day. What most people are unaware of is the park hides a MTA ventilation facility for the East Side Access project to support the new Long Island Railroad terminal at Grand Central Terminal a few blocks away. The park is not as popular has some of the other pocket parks due to not having a small cafe or food outlet as some of the other pocket park in the area do have.
