Make the Most of the Rooftop Lounge & Pool

Living in luxury apartments in Battery Park means more than just having a stylish living space—it means having access to incredible amenities that elevate your lifestyle. At Ellison Parkview, one of the standout features is the rooftop lounge and resort-style pool—an amenity that offers more than just stunning skyline views. It’s a space where you can unwind, entertain, and live well.

Here’s how to take full advantage of this signature amenity and make your rooftop experience unforgettable all year long.

1. Start Your Day with a Rooftop Sunrise

There’s something peaceful and motivating about beginning your morning with the sunrise—and at Ellison Parkview, the rooftop lounge provides the perfect backdrop. Head up early with your favorite coffee, tea, or smoothie, and take a few quiet minutes to center yourself before the day begins.

Not only does this help set a positive tone, but it’s a great way to enjoy the calm before the rooftop gets busy later in the day.

Pro tip: Bring a journal or yoga mat to make your morning routine even more intentional.

2. Work from the Rooftop for a Change of Scenery

If you're working from home, changing your surroundings can help boost productivity and refresh your mindset. The rooftop lounge at Ellison Parkview offers ample seating, Wi-Fi access, and shaded areas—making it an excellent choice for remote work sessions.

Answer emails under the sun, brainstorm with a view, or take video calls in a peaceful yet energizing setting.

Bonus: A midday dip in the pool is a perfect screen-time break to reset your energy.

3. Plan Rooftop Gatherings with Friends or Neighbors

One of the best ways to enjoy your rooftop space is by sharing it. Ellison Parkview’s rooftop lounge offers an ideal setting for casual get-togethers, birthday celebrations, or even spontaneous happy hours.

Bring up some appetizers, your favorite playlist, and a few friends to enjoy cocktails under the stars. It’s socializing at its finest—no reservations or Ubers required.

Tip for planning: Use the kitchen amenities in your apartment to prepare simple bites or chilled drinks before heading upstairs.

4. Host a Sunset Dinner with a View

Who says you need to leave home for a scenic dinner experience? With the outdoor dining spaces and breathtaking sunset views, Ellison Parkview's rooftop is the perfect place to enjoy an al fresco meal.

Whether it’s a romantic date night or a casual gathering, a sunset dinner on the rooftop instantly elevates the moment. Pick up takeout from a local Battery Park favorite or fire up a portable grill pan (where permitted) for a more interactive dinner night.

Dining nearby? Try options like El Viñedo Local or Garden & Gun Club for rooftop-friendly cuisine.

5. Take Advantage of the Pool to Relax or Re-Energize

The rooftop pool at Ellison Parkview isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a space to cool off, recharge, or even squeeze in a low-impact workout. Swimming a few laps, lounging with a book, or simply floating in the sun can dramatically improve your mood and well-being.

Use the pool as part of your self-care routine or weekend relaxation strategy. Whether you’re recovering after a workout or looking for a refreshing escape on a hot afternoon, this amenity is one of the biggest perks of living at Ellison Parkview.

Pro move: Invest in a stylish pool tote with sunscreen, towel, water bottle, and a good read to make spontaneous pool trips effortless.

6. Stay Social and Meet Your Community

Living in luxury apartments in Battery Park offers a built-in community, and the rooftop lounge is the perfect place to make the most of it. Attend resident events hosted by the Ellison Parkview team or simply strike up a conversation with fellow residents while enjoying the view.

These casual interactions can lead to lasting friendships, gym buddies, or even future coworkers. The rooftop is more than a space—it’s a social catalyst.

Community tip: Follow Ellison Parkview’s social media and resident bulletin boards to stay up to date on rooftop events.

7. Use It as a Wellness Retreat

Your rooftop can double as your personal wellness studio. Whether you're practicing sunrise yoga, meditating at sunset, or doing bodyweight workouts with a view, this serene outdoor space makes wellness feel effortless and inspiring.

Bring headphones and a yoga mat or resistance bands, and start a morning or evening wellness ritual that keeps you grounded and fit—all without leaving home.

Wellness idea: Try a short 15-minute stretch routine with calming music to end your workday on a mindful note.

8. Enjoy Seasonal Celebrations

Each season brings new ways to use the rooftop lounge. Think summer pool parties, fall evening bonfires (where allowed), or springtime brunches surrounded by blooming city views. Customize your use of the rooftop throughout the year to make every month memorable.

Decorate with a few string lights or tabletop accents for special celebrations. You’ll quickly find yourself making rooftop memories that feel like mini-vacations right at home.
