Thanks!

It seems like https://greenburghnaturecenter.org/ doesnt have bathrooms available either. What do people do?

Is there something else thats interesting for adults, thats open in the area?

Cranberry lakes has trails with rocks it’s not good for strollers and it’s easy to get lost I’m not sure if ther have bathrooms

We love Rockefeller State Park, but IMNSHO its more hiking than sitting and relaxing. Lots of trails for whatever level you want. Always beautiful.

Untermyer Park is also beautiful, but only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday with reservations. https://www.untermyergardens.org/

If you're willing to go further, we're at FDR Park frequently. Loads of parking (I recommend Lots 5 or 6, which tend to be less crowded). BBQ grills (I've seen frum people bring their own, but we don't bother) and benches, fields and trails.

We used to do Greenburgh Nature Center all the time when the kids were small, but I've never even thought about it once they got older.

Im wondering what people do in a park for over an hour, with no available bathrooms, if they need one.

I can't say I've ever used the restrooms at Rockefeller. I use the restroom before going, and when I get home. In case of emergency, I go to Starbucks (not now, of course). I can make it 4 hours or more without urinating. Not for little kids, but OP asked about adults.
