MANOR
PARK
Often we have those days when you just want to sit,
relax, dream, read, write, escape from cells phones, computers, etc. also known
as “alone time”. My favorite place to go
is Manor Park, in Larchmont, NY.
Dating back to 1892, Manor Park is situated
along the Long Island Sound. Sitting on
the rocks over the water, one can look across the Sound and see the outline of
Long Island; looking to the right, you see the outline of lower Manhattan
.
As it is the quietest, but most beautiful place you
can image, it is no wonder I have spent many years coming here to just sit here
to daydream. Often I climb down the
cliff of rocks where the whole world disappears except the beauty in front of
you.
These are a few pictures I have taken at Manor Park,
where you can see and even feel the peacefulness of this hidden Park along the
water.
This picture was taken of just a few of the many
sailboats one can sit and be mesmerized by as they quietly float by. If you look past the sailboats you can see
the outline of Long Island in the shadows.
This is one of the many spots I like to curl up in the
rocks and read or write in my journal.

Manor Park is approximately 1 mi long, where one can
walk along the pathway. I took this
picture last Spring as the Cherry Blossoms were in full bloom, just one of the many beautiful scenes along the way.

What a lovely park! I really enjoy sailing. Even though I grew up in SC, we used to drive to Mystic Seaport CT every summer so I could do their sail training program!
Spending time by ourselves is crucial for creatives like us! The Manor Park sounds lovely. I love cherry blossoms :)
How nice to have a place to get away from all the noise in the city and just relax :)
I just got a zero-gravity chair and plan to relax on the patio with a good magazine and a cold glass of wine :)
Natasha - We often had class trips to Mystic. My cousin lives there. Did you happen to go to "Mystic Pizza"? She has worked there for over 30 years! Didn't know they had a sailing program. Manor Park also gives sailing lessons - although I have never taken advantage of it.
Duni - Wish I could magically take all of you there - there is just something so peaceful sitting by the water.
Edi - I am not exactly sure what a "gravity chair is" - but then again I don't even have a smart phone! but the glass of wine sounds like a perfect way to end the day!
What a lovely park! so much beauty!
