| Surrounding Park Headquarters there has been a lot of recent rehabilitation. New playing fields, pedestrian paths, plantings, benches and a refurbished performance arena offer the public a wide choice of recreational activities - running, biking, fishing, sports, walking and picnicing, to name a few. |

| Above and right: the track at the north end of the park and the pedestrian thoroughfare in spring as it winds along the FDR drive. |
| Below: at the river's edge, the promenade is fenced off for much of the entire length of the park. It has been declared unsafe due to bulkhead deterioration that has underminded portions of the pathway and outer railing. |
