J. Owen Grundy Park, Jersey City

If you visit New York, come to this place to get an awesome view of the NY skyline. It’s usually not very crowded and also has a good feel to it as it’s just by the water. Plenty of nice places to pick food and you can eat by the board walk. If you are here in summer. Come a little before sunset. You will get to see the day light view, and just when the sun starts to set and before the lights turn on everything looks nice and red and then the view when it’s night.

This area is very windy with wonderful views of Manhattan. I can imagine going here on a hot day and enjoying the cool breeze from the Hudson River as I relax on the many benches.
