At the southern end of Governors’ Island sit four man-made hills, creations of the NYC Parks Department, built using (in part) rubble from the island’s demolished buildings. The largest, Outlook Hill, boasts the best views of the Statue of Liberty. Other feature slides, a concrete cabin, and more; all set amidst sinuous pathways. Great views abound. (Note that the photos in this post only show The Hills area of Governors’ Island; none of the old military buildings and forts in the northern section.)
