Answer:
Two great options on the Upper West Side- Fort Tyron and Riverside Park. Riverside has amazing waterside views and is perfect for biking, running, or strolling with a date or kids. At Fort Tyron there is the Cloisters which a medieval monastery complete with interesting architecture and serene gardens. Both spots are great for picnics, lounging about, or just enjoying some fresh air. http://diary.thepurplepassport.com/new-york-city/sights-activities-new-york-city-cities/thinking-outside-the-central-park-box-in-manhattan

There is nothing else on that scale in Manhattan. Ft. Tryon Park is about as close as you'll get However, each of the other boroughs has a large park. Brooklyn - Prospect Park (designed by the same people who designed Central Park, only they thought Prospect Park was more beautiful!) Queens - Flushing Meadow (great for biking) The Bronx - Van Cortland Park (it's huge!) Staten Island - The Greenbelt. Also, Gateway National Park is distributes among Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.

The only zoo in Manhattan is in Central Park. There are many other green spaces of varying sizes. Much of the waterfront is park land. like Battery Park, Riverside Park, Fort Tryon, Inwood Hill, Carl Shurz, etc. In addition, there are pathways that you can bike along for large portions that are not actually "parks." Then there are many small urban oases that have their own attractions and charm like Madison Square, Union Sqyare Bryant Park, Marcus Garvey, as well as dozens of smaller places. Many of these have interesting food ops around them, interesting vistas as well as people watching ops.

The next largest Manhattan park after Central Park is Inwood Hill Park, which runs from Dyckman Street (=200 Street) up to Columbia's Baker Field at 218 Street. It is bordered by the Hudson River on the west and by Payson Avenue, Seaman Avenue and Indian Road on the east. While there are some playing fields and grassy areas near the north end, much of it is wild. No zoo or pool, but hiking in the woods is interesting. The site where some Bronx Indians pulled off the first recorded American real estate scam by "selling" Manhattan to the Dutch is in this park. Fossil seashells have been found in this park. Just south of Dyckman Street, and bordered on the east by Broadway is Fort Tryon Park (named for the last royal governor of NY). It is the next largest park in Manhattan, and includes The Cloisters, an interesting museum that has the most beautiful site in all NYC.
