Let’s Take a Wintry Photos Walk

come join us outside as we take a leisurely walk through Gantry Plaza State Park in Long Island City, Queens for photos, fresh air, fitness and camaraderie with new friends.

The park offers really nice views of Manhattan and is easily reachable from Manhattan (1 stop from Grand Central on the Queens-bound 7 train)

ABOUT GANTRY PLAZA STATE PARK: Gantry Plaza State Park is a 12-acre riverside oasis that boasts spectacular views of the midtown Manhattan skyline, including the Empire State Building and the United Nations. Enjoy a relaxing stroll along the park's four piers or through the park's manicured gardens and unique mist fountain. Along the way take a moment to admire the rugged beauty of the park's centerpieces - restored gantries. These industrial monuments were once used to load and unload rail car floats and barges; today they are striking reminders of our waterfront's past. With the city skyline as a backdrop and the gantries as a stage, the park's plaza is a wonderful place to enjoy a spring or summer concert. Park is open sunrise to sunset.

GETTING THERE; make your own way to the Vernon Blvd-Jackson Ave station on the 7 train line by 11AM. The station is 1 stop from Grand Central on the Queens-bound 7 train. We'll meet OUTSIDE the station and walk over to the park together.

INTENSITY: Easy breezy
