| One of the children designed creatures on the carousel at Riverbank State Park. |
It overlooks the Hudson and was built over a water treatment plant. There are so many things to do: indoor and outdoor swimming, fields for playing soccer or any other field sport, basketball courts, ice skating and roller skating facilities, playgrounds, sprinklers for people to run through, and wonderful open green spaces which are great if you're coming with a little picnic to listen to jazz. It is one of the most popular destinations in Manhattan.
There is a relatively new component that has been added to this wonderful place: a carousel. What's interesting about this carousel is that the horses have been replaced with creatures drawn by young children. They are whimsical and exciting. It's refreshing that such a project exists.
So, if you are as intrigued as I am then........TRY IT!!!!!!
