Active & outdoors in New York City

New York City's outdoor scene extends well beyond its famous skyline. Nature seekers can explore the trails of Rockefeller State Park Preserve, take in the views from Todt Hill — Staten Island's highest point — or venture to the quiet landscapes of Caumsett on Long Island and the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in nearby New Jersey. The remote Swinburne Island in New York Harbor offers a more offbeat excursion. For open-air sports and events, Arthur Ashe Stadium and Citi Field draw visitors to Flushing Meadows, while the Coney Island Cyclone remains a long-standing fixture of seaside outdoor entertainment.
