With the warmer months giving way to breezy days and chilly nights, the next couple weeks are the perfect opportunity to make use of New York’s parks and outdoor recreational spaces. From exercising to simply resting, there is plenty you can do in the parks before the cold sets in — while following social distancing guidelines and staying safe, of course. Here, Observer photographer Alyssa Daughdrill records recent scenes from Bryant Park, Central Park and DeWitt Clinton Park of New Yorkers doing just that.
