A massive area with playing fields, courts, benches, tables, restaurants, a playground, really anything you could ask for from any park, let alone a park in the city. Located adjacent to Pier 54, which is where the Titanic was supposed to dock, this is a great place to walk around and get lost for a while. Although there were games taking place on the fields, the area itself wasn't busy at all, maybe because of the light rain at the time, but will be on areas to go to again when I'm back in the city.
I walked through this park as part of my Greenway hike. I enjoyed it very much. Please come and create your own adventure.
Free shows in the park. Bring your mats and towels and lawn chairs and snacks and enjoy! Right on the Hudson River! Today is RENT Adam pascal and Anthony Rapp live and today is the final performance here at the park for them.
Did the Hudson River cruise in New York City with beautiful views of NYC, Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty. There are many options online offering different package deals but must purchase your tickets in advance. Check it out next time you're in NYC there are many affordable options and so worth it. Happy Yelping :)
This pubic park runs four miles along Manhattans's west side from Chambers St. to 59th St. in NYC attracting over 17 million visits each year. The park offers a variety of recreational and educational activities along with great views of the Hudson River and the city. This 550 acre riverfront park is a beloved urban recreational paradise.
Came here the other night for a fun picnic and absolutely loved it! The park is gorgeous and there are tons of tables/chairs to sit on as well as places to lie down. Just be careful if you sit on the ground because there are a ton of dogs and a lot of dog poop on the grassy area. Besides that, this place is kept very well and tidy. One of the things I really do like is that this park has clean bathrooms, restaurants, and beautiful views of the skyline and river. Check out Pier 40 while you're here. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC
New York City may be the "concrete jungle," but this park brings so much greenery to the city. Located along a stretch of the Hudson River, it is a fantastic place to walk, exercise, people watch, and just enjoy the view of Manhattan and Jersey. With the cooler weather, this really is the perfect place to be at in the city. Just feeling the fresh and cool breeze coming off of the river makes me happy. I would be more than happy to walk the entire stretch again in the future :)
Beautiful day and a beautiful park. Lots of people out, plenty of joggers and a very nice path. I think we walked about 5 miles in total.
Extending some 4-5 miles alongside the west side of Manhattan, Hudson River Park is the second largest park in the borough after Central Park. The park rungs through Lower Manhattan, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Midtown West and connects with both Riverside Park to the north and The Battery to the south. The park includes a number of tennis and soccer fields, batting ages, playgrounds, dog runs and has fantastic views of the Hudson and across the river to eastern New Jersey. It includes several of the North River piers along its length. We encountered the park just west of Chelsea Market on the way to Little Island park. There is at least this one spot at West 15th street with an open grass area, a number of tables and some shady spots for a picnic. Beautiful! [Review 15710 overall - 301 in New York - 1214 of 2021.]
Hudson River Park is pretty much the west coast of Manhattan. It runs from about Battery Park all the way to 59th. The main feature is the bike and jogging path. It has some nice views of New Jersey. Yes, there are some nice views of that. I have walked along the path awhile. It can get crowded so be careful. There's a few restrooms. Most are clean. They have lots of food vendors. Ignore these because they will rip you off. The path is a good place to get some exercise, for you and your pets. A lot of people walk their dogs. There's lots of free entertainment in the evenings like musicians. It also has some athletic areas along the path like baseball fields and some basketball courts. It also goes by the High Line. That one gets more crowded so try here to get more space.
Awesome park by the water! The views are amazing and it's a clean and wide path for walking, running, and biking. Highly recommend as a nice walk. Especially if you're planning on going to the World Trade Center.
One Summer day I decided to walk from my apartment across Central Park to the West Side. I began walking South down towards Hudson River Park starting around West 74th Street. I had a destination in mind. I was headed to Battery Park. Since it was early morning and clear skies I packed snacks and drinks to last the day. I have plenty of photos. I posted them at one time at the Yelp Page for each of the spots I visited that day. I stopped to photograph an Eleanor Roosevelt Sculpture in a Park, playgrounds, piers, ducks and more. I made my way to Chelsea Piers, I saw the location of the modern Whitney Museum. (I still need to go inside) I eventually ended up wandering my way to the battery. I don't remember the trip home!! Probably took the train. What a wonderful day and beautiful riverside park. I'm so glad someone had the forethought to create this recreational space. There's so much fun for residents in neighborhoods located adjacent to the park. It's cooler near the water on hot Summer Days too. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. My photos would tell you more of my story. I've got over 33,000 photos on my MacBook. When and if I find the ones from this day, I'll post them here. Just remember if you feel like a hike where you are not obstructed by traffic and intersections holding you up, take a long walk along Hudson River Park. The park is FREE! You have beautiful views, entertaining activities and I'm sure you will find food vendors along the way.
In typical SF techie style, one of my todos during my NYC stay was to visit the Google office above Chelsea Market. I could've taken the train from my hotel in Times Square - but why, when I can walk and see the city instead? A coworker recommended the piers for a nice quiet(!) walk in the city. I've had a lot on my mind lately, so I figured it was worth a shot. I've walked the Highline before, so I wanted to see something different - so I found the Hudson River Park on the map and set off on foot. I walked in the park from 44ish south to 14ish - it was a nice stroll. I enjoyed looking at the military vessels around the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum around Pier 84 and the small park around Pier 63. While I prefer the views walking along the Embarcardero in SF (my daily stroll back home), I appreciated how many benches there were all along the path. It was nice to see people from all walks of life - young and old, tourist and native, enjoying the walking path. I was also impressed by the well-demarcated bike path, which was separate from the road and the walking path. I actually bet the trail would be more fun on bike - something I'd like to try someday. I preferred the views from the Highline (and found it more pedestrian friendly, as some parts of the Hudson River Park trail go by industrial areas), but the Hudson River Park trail is longer and has little areas for people to rest. If I had more time, I would explore the other piers. It was definitely a nice change of pace to walk along the trail instead of down a busy city street. I can see why this trail is so highly rated by locals.
A nice spot to get some fresh air and people watch. Hudson River Park is the longest riverfront park in the U.S., stretching 4.5 miles along Manhattan's west side and covering 550 acres -- the second-largest park in the city after Central Park. Some unique Features - it is the longest riverfront park in the U.S. It has one of the busiest bike routes in America, running the full length of the park and connecting to Battery Park and Riverside Park. it offers tennis courts, soccer fields, batting cages, playgrounds, mini golf, dog runs, and water sports like kayaking and sailing. It has over 40 rebuilt piers, each with unique amenities -- e.g., Pier 25 has Manhattan's only 18-hole mini golf course; Pier 40 is the largest pier at over 15 acres. read more

This is one of the best parks in the city in my opinion. It sits along the west side highway and there's a bike path that stretches all the way down to lower manhattan. You get amazing views of the lower manhattan skyline and overall a very clean park. On days when the weather is good there are many people out and about especially with dogs. There's tennis courts nearby but be warned the wait for those courts on the weekends is a long while. Its fairly quiet and peaceful in the evenings or after dusk. read more
Hudson River Park is located in NYC Meat Packing District along the water. It is a nice park and definitely a great place for a nice stroll. The park is very clean. If you continue walking along the river, Hudson River Park will connect to The Battery. read more
Did you know this is the second largest park in Manhattan after Central Park? Well, did ya? I didn't think so because the 550 acres are stretched over close to five miles right next to the Hudson. Yep, it goes all the way from Battery Park to 59th Street. It's like the Chile of Manhattan, and it's yet another great way to explore the city while enjoying the view of New Jersey, mostly Jersey City and Hoboken. "Hoboken? Oooohhhh, I'm dyin'!" That's what Bugs Bunny screamed when he tried to take the little penguin in the top hat to the South Pole. But that's neither here nor there. It's mostly a series of pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths with piers rebuilt and repurposed with green space and playgrounds and the cleanest public restrooms this Left Coaster has ever seen. It's like the High Line but at ground level. There, I gave you two metaphors. Ain't that enough? RELATED - Looking for other sights to see in New York?

An urban park that stretches from Battery to all the way to 59th or 4 miles of Manhattan's west side shoreline. There are spots of greenery along the way but the main feature is the bike and jogging path. And some baseball fields and some basketball courts are near buy alone the way. There are a few restrooms if you dare. They don't have any food vendors due to COVID-19. The path is a good place to get some exercise, for you and your dog. And once you get down to the 30s you can get on to the High Line. And what use to be Pier 54 a new park 'Little Island' will open in 2021 read more
I am so happy and grateful the Hudson River Park exists. After moving to Manhattan, I didn't know this was a thing for several months. I finally stumbled upon a path that took my down by the river. I was so excited to know there is a running/walking path. I have been running next to the Hudson River for months now, and I find it so relaxing. It's usually kept tidy and clean (overall). They've been doing some re-routing of bike traffic during some construction but the flow still works. I have yet to go all the way down to Battery Park on the trail but I hope to someday! read more

I love living so close to this walking path because being able to see the sunset in NYC is not something that everyone can easily do. The park is always full of runners, pedestrians, and cyclists. It gets a little crowded when cruises are starting or ending so watch out for that but truly a very lovely part of the city that all should enjoy!! read more
This is a nice option other than Central Park. Located on the west side - Hudson River Park starts at Chambers Street/Battery Park City and extends all the way up to 59th street. Pier 25 to Pier 99. They really did a lovely job transforming the west side. It used to be nothing ... and now there are a wide range of recreational activities for the people. There is a bike/rollerblading path near the street. If you don't have a bike- you can rent them from several Citi bike locations - one by chambers street and I saw one near Pier 40 . Think there is one by Chelsea as well. Try to obtain a free map of Hudson River Park. Has a comprehensive map all everything it has to offer.... I've seen dog runs, volleyball courts, tennis courts, basketball courts, miniature golf , skateboard park, soccer field , Chelsea Piers ( entertainment complex), piers to watch movies outside It is well maintained and clean! pretty flowers in bloom. Lots of benches. There is a "nature Boardwalk" in the TriBeCa section which is peaceful. Definitely a nice way to spend a relaxing day in NYC :) read more

Part deux of our "Picnic Friday" took place here. It's a wonderful area with calming sounds of the river splashing around the pier. We decided to find a spot at Pier 45 where we were not too far from the live jazz band that was playing. It's a nice family oriented park. There were picnics, couples engaging in not so friendly PDA, runners, kids laughing, and people lounging around. All in all everyone was making the best of whatever they were doing and who they were doing it with. Lawns are open year round. At one point some of the park goers started swing dancing as the free concert went on. Be careful of the bathrooms closing up for the night. I believe they close at 9pm or whenever the lights come on. The Hudson River Park Trust sponsors free events in the summer. read more

It's a great place to be if you want to stroll around and hang out, but the place is also perfect for kids! There are playgrounds, and kids can play on the grass. Beautiful views! Love it. read more

I was just wandering about and got pretty tired. I saw a beautiful park and I was like ohhh Let's go there!! to my boyfriend. When we entered I first spotted a cute set of colorful chairs and a table for kids. It's so adorable and of course there is the regular sized one as well. It really was breath-taking since it faced the river and the day I went it was warm and sunny and a little windy (not too much ) At the center of the park is a big grass area!! So cool!! I wanted to sit there but there were a few (not a lot it wasn't too much ppl when I was there which I liked) people laying there. But sitting on the chairs was nice too with the wind blowing and it was nice out. Great place to just sit and relax after eating or shopping about the area. It really is a great place to get away from the peoples or even rest up after a walk or bike ride by the river. read more
What an awesome urban oasis! On a complimentary hotel map, I noticed the "running route" outlined going up and down what looked like the whole west "coast" of Manhattan. Walked over and discovered tons of bikers and joggers makin good use of a paved path that hugged the water. Beautiful views of the city, statue of liberty, jersey, millennium tower, etc. There were yoga classes going on in the park. Lots of dog walkers as well. It looked like you could take the path maybe 8+ miles, to battery park in the south and up to the upper west side. So glad I found this place. Always remember to pack the workout clothes! read more
