The park overlooks New York Harbor and provides clear views of the Statue of Liberty, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors. It's also home to attractions like Castle Clinton and the SeaGlass Carousel, adding a bit of history and fun to the experience. What makes The Battery especially useful for visitors is its location. It's the departure point for ferries to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Governors Island, and the Staten Island Ferry, making it a great starting point for a day of sightseeing. The park feels surprisingly calm despite being in the middle of the city, with plenty of benches, green spaces, and waterfront views to enjoy.

It's peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a quiet walk, a photo session, or just relaxing with a coffee while enjoying the view. There's public parking, and depending on the day, you might even find an ice cream truck. A few blocks away, you'll find restaurants and cafes, making it a great stop before or after a meal. You can even walk or bike the entire stretch from Weehawken to West New York along the waterfront. Whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop here even just for a few minutes. It never disappoints.

It's always well taken care of, clean and just a lovely space to enjoy. My dog thoroughly loves circling the fountain endlessly until he finally plops down on the sunniest patch he can find. I come with friends and blanket often to enjoy dinner with a view of Hoboken and the city, every Sunday from May to Nov (?) for the farmers markets, sometimes for free yoga in the park and often just for a little stroll around. The park is lined with cafes and shops on Palisades, food trucks like Abi's Pasta and Little Oaxaca and its within a stone's throw from basketball courts, a turf field and a community garden. It really is lovely and worth a stroll!

The inaugural Heights Holiday Market brought my friend and her dog, her friends, and I to Riverview-Fisk Park as we took in the festive season and a reason to spend money. I've been here on previous occasions as one of the little black beast's favorite walking routes to mingle with other furry friends, while I simply enjoyed the views https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=55gAs8tTYbdVrONBqH2bnw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and its proximity to a favorite bottle shop of mine. Would this holiday market provide more of a reason to continue visiting this park or was it just commercialism for our hard-earned dollars!? PURCHASE Generally speaking, with the exception of this special holiday market (I bought a "Jingle Juice" aka spiced mulled wine for $8.00 https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=IRvCPulV2ta4CSUaSXJ0iw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw... in addition to a $12.00 sausage sandwich and $15.00 sweets which will be in separate reviews), and the farmers market that took place annually between May through November every Sunday rain or shine from 10am-2pm, there was nothing to purchase. I didn't even see any street vendors unlike the abundance I would see back in L.A. SERVICE Of the several times I've visited the park, I've never seen any staff members or workers cleaning or tending to the various facilities (e.g. basketball courts, fields, general grounds, playground, trashcans, etc.). Thankfully, everything appeared to be well-kept especially since a fairly recent major renovation occurred during the pandemic lockdown years. With respect to the holiday market, all the vendors were attentive, friendly, and ready to assist you with whatever they were selling. All was good. PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) This was an easy flat 10-minute one-way walk from my friend's place. Otherwise, there was a small onsite lot, and there seemed to be sufficient street parking along the main drag of Palisade Ave. and all surrounding roads - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An elongated park located in The Heights that primarily ran along Palisade Ave. on one side and a ravine or sorts that allowed for captivating views of the New York City skyline https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=iotaQhm6QmA89kV4C_BZ6w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, this had several features of what you'd expect from such a place. From open spaces https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=i6Cz_aDGcm7t7mvAzlgaAw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, grassy fields, basketball courts, a central plaza https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rRf019qblHxon3WUzuBaPg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw along with an ornamental water fountain https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RrGlizRKLTaHXVg77oTCQQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a circular pathway https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kUK_L6psNCt7dHhAvtfemA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a children's playground, and a small area for your four-legged furry friends! In addition, there were several historic monuments, such as a bust of Henry Hudson and a dedication plaque for Theodore Conrad, just to name a couple. Obviously, there was plenty of natural lighting (duh!) while updated electric lights illuminated the rest of the area. There weren't any TVs while the chatter and hustling of people, playing children, music from the vendors, vehicular traffic, and more, filled the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jaHneMQo7oAcGVPs-L9qhQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops... if it weren't so freakin' cold. OVERALL Riverview-Fisk Park was a chill place to leisurely hang out at, but for me it came back to the dog and the views for my future visits. It was in a safe area, and I would like to see how it was during the warmer months (I imagined more robust activities) versus the colder winter months when I visited. And darn it... Riverview Wine & Spirits was right down the street on Bowers St.! However, I had no idea whether or not there were any restrooms. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $35.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, at least the vendors I shopped at accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Besides that, I never paid much mind to the park, especially in light of the fact that it's not in my stomping grounds. Nevertheless, I had just finished brunching nearby and since it was such a gorgeous day out, I decided to take a walk through the park and check it out. MSP is not large - the center of it is a large green space with paths on the perimeter that contain walking paths and benches. In addition to the Shake Shack, there's also a small seating area nearby where you can sit and eat, or just hang out. The park is ideal of people watching, eating your lunch, or just walking around a space that contrasts the hustle and bustle of the surrounding areas. Because of the weather, it was a little crowded but still pleasant. Overall, MSP is fine - it's not worth coming to unless you're in the area IMO, but a pleasant spot nonetheless.
