Rainey Park

Rainey Park is a really nice park since it is right by the water (East River) and give you a view of Rossevelt Island.
This is the first time I have been here but some of the facilities: children’s playground looks nice.
Not a bad place to have a stroll on a nice day when you are in the neighbourhood. But not special enough for a special trip.

Relaxing place to hang out with the family. Very nice view of the city and the river. Will return again for more fun.

Nice park with views or Roosevelt Island. Lots of benches and seems like it would be a nice place to have a picnic.

The renovations to this has made it a really nice place to bring your children and nice view of the water. This park is always crowded.
During the weekends a lot of families visit the park and for the most part leave a lot of garbage behind. Which makes the parks a little less attractive.
They have added walking and bike trails.

The city renovated the park, so it looks much better now and bikers have a road to ride on. Just sucks that you’re not allowed to be in the park at night :(. Pretty chill park to walk around.

I am thinking this park just got a major overhaul. Mid January and there is full grass, nice paved walkways and bike lanes, benches facing the East River, and cool modern designed kids playground area. Nothing like the past review of dead grass and syringes… let’s hope that’s the case and it wasn’t just a fluke. I hope I wasn’t just there on a «clean» day or something?!
There was almost no one in the park this afternoon, I get it, it’s January… but was great to walk around the park and catch up with a friend without bumping into people every few inches — a rarity in NYC. I enjoyed the quiet and privacy. I was, however, not crazy about the owner who unleashed her two gigantic dogs to roam and run freely through the park and then didn’t pay them any mind.
I will definitely consider trips to this this park as an alternative to Astoria Park on the occasional spring and summer afternoon.

Dead grass & syringes on the ground. Cops harass you when you’re there past 9pm. Great view to sober up to, though.

All around nice family park, sprinklers, swings, slides and climbing wall for the kids. Soccer field and basketball courts. Right off of the East River accross from Manhattan.
