On the upper west side, there’s big hills in riverside park that can’t be maintained by park gardeners, so the city houses goats on the hill in the summer. The goats keep the brush from overflowing and you can visit them!

You can absolutely feel like you’re getting lost in the North Woods of Central Park. There are little hiking paths and streams, boulders, and fewer people than the touristy southern parts of the park. A nice bonus is when you come out on the northeastern side you can peer over Harlem Meer and likely see some ducks!
Hon. mention to Riverside Park (seconding the person who said that), Inwood Hill Park, and Fort Tryon Park (and the Cloisters!)

One of my favorite places that‘s somehow still within the city limits. Beautiful any time of year, even when things aren’t in bloom, given the views of the Palisades across the Hudson. You can linger as long as you want so I love to bring a picnic lunch and a book and camp out all day when I go up. The tiny greenhouses, I daresay, have far better variety than either of the city botanical gardens (currently a ton of orchids on) and for the low price of $10. Just an excellent place that no one seems to know about.

A god-damn majestic oasis. It’s a privately owned public park with a 25 foot waterfall. Go get a bagel or three (not a bagel sandwich, that’s a whole other post) from Ess-a-bagel and chomp on ‘em in the cool shade while you watch people bliss out staring at the waterfall.

Every Friday morning I go to yoga and then have breakfast at the same spot. I’ve developed a good relationship with my yoga instructor and this morning she noted how much progress I made. At my breakfast spot, I had a nice chat with the staff there, who I’m friends with now! It’s so nice to have a little routine
