    Impressive architecture under the bridge span - outside of that, a nice place for a walk or picnic.

    Nice, low-key park where you may chill n poke smot. Amazing architectural site, if you're a fan of bridges.

    This park sits underneath the old green St. Johns bridge, and the way the bridge is built from underneath gives it the illusion that you're in a large cathedral building. Beautiful

    Extensive area with scattered trees. Scenic views, you often can watch ships passing by. Come with family, friends or alone. Beautiful!

    The location of Portlandia's "cool wedding" from S2 E3. Don't forget your multi-colored parachute.

    Best place to walk your dog with great views of the St. John's Bridge. Also an unfenced dog park and a boat ramp as well.

    check out the inspiring DIY bum forts south of the bridge down by the water. You may have to walk a bit to find them.
