Cedar Hill stands as a deliberate piece of landscape architecture designed to offer a sense of openness within the dense grid of Manhattan. While its rolling lawns and rocky outcrops appear natural, they are entirely human-made, carefully sculpted during the park's construction to provide a pastoral sanctuary for city dwellers. You are standing on ground that was meticulously shaped to contrast with the rigid, industrial atmosphere of the surrounding city.
