Sara Delano Roosevelt Park

Sara Delano Roosevelt Park is a public park in Manhattan, New York City. The 7.8-acre (32,000 meters square) park was named after Sara Roosevelt, the mother of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Sara Delano Roosevelt Park is long and narrow. It covers an area between East Houston Street on the Lower East Side and Canal Street in Chinatown. Delancey St and Grand St cut across the park. Hester St also crosses the park, though in the form of a pedestrian mall.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
