Nice views, very accesible. One of my favorite spots on the island.

Little stroll up the hill to see Jersey, Staten Island, Brooklyn and Manhattan and Statue of Liberty and as a bonus the iconic Staten Island ferry crossing. Accessible path.

Hidden GEM? of NYC. Its an entire island and cant believe more be people don't go here. Take the ferry from Brooklyn before NOON and its Free! The views form here are majestic and if its breezy the best place to be on a hot day. If you make it the island you have to visit the top. You can climb the odd shaped stone sculpture block steps or there is a paved winding path to the top as well.

Came here to Governors Island for an event with Goldman Sachs. There was a very diverse crowd with multiple departments here to enjoy the festivities. Here you have not only a beautiful view of the surrounding area but also the Jersey City and NYC skylines. Beanbags soccer and Food for all involved. The temperature out here was definitely a Debby Downer with it seeming like it's 110 degrees out. Governor's island definitely has some historical significance as well.

Beautiful view from the hill top, oversee the whole Island. Easy climbing hill.

Incredible 360 degree views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and so much more!

Incredible place to take pictures. Look for the Staten Island Ferry as it sails past the Statue of Liberty or use the panorama mode on your camera phone to get an epic photo.

The highest point and most scenic spot in Governors Island! It is relatively easy to reach from the ground, being only 70-foot high. You can hike to the top using the steps or walk along the paved path that snakes around the hill. From here, you can see all of New York Bay, including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the skylines of Manhattan, Jersey City, and Brooklyn. It was brutally windy when I visited in early fall.
