It's also one of a handful of urban waterfalls hidden in New York City that provide locals and tourists much needed relief from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The other one I visited was Paley Park, an 11-minute walk from Greenacre Park and one with a more touching history.
I found New York's waterfalls and they're not as hidden as you'd think The sight and sound of water cascading down a rockface is as relaxing as it is breathtaking.
Interestingly, the waterfall at Paley Park is around the corner from Uniqlo's giant Fifth Avenue branch.
It's nestled one block from Lexington Avenue, nine blocks from Grand Central station and a few minutes away from the Rockefeller Center.
