About this place
Seven and a half inches, 6.59 miles from Liberty Park. Uranus lies on its side, rolling around its orbit rather than spinning upright — worth knowing while you are standing in the most formally upright garden in the city.

West across the park and north to the Hudson, then onto the greenway. About four and a half miles to Neptune, and the last of it is river the whole way. Check the light before you set off — the garden shuts at dusk, and so does the good half of this leg.
