Gov­er­nors Island is One of Amer­i­ca’s Coolest Urban Parks

[cap­tion id=“attachment_4319” align=“aligncenter” width=“300” caption=“These vis­i­tors are enjoy­ing miles of car free bik­ing and the incred­i­ble views of New York Har­bor that help make Gov­er­nors Island one of the coun­try’s best pub­lic spaces”][/​caption] The good peo­ple at Trav­el and Leisure have named Gov­er­nors Island one of Amer­i­ca’s Coolest Urban Parks! We think that they were tak­en by our extra­or­di­nary views, the eclec­tic array of pro­gram­ming that orga­ni­za­tions bring to Island vis­i­tors, five miles of car-free bik­ing and free fer­ries from Man­hat­tan and Brook­lyn. We are sure that the hun­dreds of thou­sands of vis­i­tors the Island will begin to wel­come in a few weeks will feel exact­ly the same way and will take advan­tage of all the Island has to offer.
