Peter Detmold Park, Urban park in Midtown East Manhattan, United States.
Peter Detmold Park stretches along the East River with walking paths, benches, and landscaped areas featuring native plant species.
The park, officially opened in 1986, transformed from an industrial space following community efforts to establish public recreational areas in Manhattan.
The space honors Peter Detmold, an urban planner who dedicated his career to creating and preserving green spaces throughout New York City.
Located at 454 East 51st Street, the park provides entrances at East 49th and East 51st streets, with a footbridge crossing over FDR Drive.
The park includes a boardwalk extending toward the East River, offering views of the waterfront while incorporating chess tables and a dog run area.
