The park is composed mainly of tiered slopes, each of which has a look and character of its own. Additionally, Riverside Drive boasts a lush canopy of elms and views of the Hudson River Valley while the park\u2019s landscaped upper promenade features rock outcrops and winding paths. \u201cThere are some magical hidden streams that cut through the rocky jagged terrain,\u201d McFarlane says. \u201c<a aria-label=\"Riverside Park (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nycgovparks.org\/parks\/riverside-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Riverside Park<\/a> is lovely and a good alternative to the crowded Central Park.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for a more regal backdrop, the white marble Soldiers\u2019 and Sailors\u2019 Monument is a beautiful option for photos with its stairs and Corinthian columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-top-of-the-rock\"><strong>9.
