Best things to do in NY, when you're not that into cities? [closed] - Statue of Liberty during Daytime

I am heading to Chattanooga (Tennessee) in October- flying from London to JFK, and then flying on from there. I will have a few days in NY before heading on to Chattanooga, and am looking for recommendations for what to do with the time I have there.

I will probably do a couple of the 'must do' things (Empire State building & Statue of Liberty... maybe one or two others), but generally speaking, I'm not really interested in cities. I'm much more interested in nature & the outdoors- so Central Park is an obvious one of the 'must do' list that I will head for.

What are the other more outdoors/ nature based things that people would recommend I should try to see/ do while I'm in NY?
