Wheelchair Accessible

Accessible ramps, rails, elevators and other facilities provided for people with disabilities. Encourage exploration of nature trails and park areas with this icon. (Useful for baby carriages and market carts, too.)

Blazzing Saddles

A good alternative to gas-powered vehicles is biking.

Avenue A L Train Station

One of many Metro Stations along 14th Street, this is the newest and it has an elevator!

University Place Open Street

This Village street will become even more village-like in late 2021, as it will soon become a permanent open street, where cars are guests and slow down for people. Check out a 2019 plan for more details. Already car-free on the north end, this street brings historic buildings, college students and local residents together.

Stuyvesant Park

Though small, this park is usually not crowded and full of blossoms, making it a pleasure to chill out in. Fountains, concerts, picnic tables etc. but no sports facilities.

Pier 36, a hidden public pier

A great place for active distancing, Pier 36 offers riverside refreshment and space to walk, run and bike. Access Pier 36 from Rutgers or Montgomery Street at the East River. Bonus - the south side connects to the new Eco Park at Pier 35 with excellent seating, swings and views. Just south, under the FDR Drive, there's a public gym!

Allen Mall

14 blocks of public space, ideal for distancing on foot, by bicycle, skateboard, etc. Running from Houston Street to the East River, it's all contiguous (except the block just north of Delancey). Every block is different - some have recent plantings, seating and paths, others are in 'original condition'.
