End the morning with some fresh air at Tilden Park. Enjoy the rolling hills and open spaces. The golf course and driving range are open daily, though you should call for specific hours and fees.
Local tip
The Rose Garden is especially nice for watching the sunset, but in the morning it is quiet and perfect for a leisurely stroll. Check the route to Tilden Park if you need directions from the gardens.
