The interior of the walled garden at Untermyer Gardens in Yonkers, NY. The portico behind the fountain has a bench where you can sit in the shade. Listening to the water trickle in solitude is relaxing.

Untermyer Park and Gardens is a partnership between the City of Yonkers, NY, and The Untermyer Gardens Conservancy. Admission to the gardens is free.
