I was wandering aimlessly through Hoboken, on the hunt to find a spot to eat a rotisserie chicken with my bare hands, when I stumbled upon Pier C Park. Sometimes life gets so hectic that I don't stop and smell the roses. I find myself so focused on what's next or what I have to do later in the day to get one step closer to generational wealth that I just don't sit and enjoy the present moment. Pier C Park brought me straight back to present time. Standing on this little hill floating in the Hudson River, I could see the entire New York Skyline. A quote from one of my favorite books echoed between my ears: "I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline...The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need?" I tend to agree. I just sat here for a bit, smelling the roses for the first time in a while. How lucky am I to just sit here and be able to look at this? The will of man made visible. SHOUT OUT TO PIER C PARK! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

It is a beautiful and vibrant destination located along the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway in Hoboken. with the Manhattan skyline as a gorgeous backdrop, this amoeba-shaped oasis is there to make your day cheerful. The park offers a variety of activities for people of all ages to enjoy but what I like most is the Panoramic view of New York Skyline. it's amazing. Take an easy, scenic walk from Pier C all the way to Jersey City via the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, which runs along the edge of the pier. The walkway offers even more amazing views of the Manhattan skyline as you venture south, with viewfinders and signage along the way. Restrooms are available on-site near the toddler playground read more

You'll find this place along the river street aka Sinatra Dr. One of the prominent features of Pier C is the park and playground area. Today there were children frolicking about the park, as they were part of a large group on a field trip. The shaded, grassy knoll became their meet-up point. If you live or work in the area or even if you're just visiting, this makes a good destination to have a nice stroll. I opted to sit and take in the sun rays. Sitting there makes me feel at peace and the calming breezes help me to do a mental reset before returning to my office. read more

Day or Night we always enjoy the views here at Pier C Park. In the morning, especially on a nice bright day, the view of NYC is so scenic. The park is fairly well kept and clean. There is a little play area for the kiddos but otherwise its really mostly a place to sight-see or just spend some time taking in the view. At night, you get an amazing sight as well! The city lights are absolutely beautiful! Been here couple of times and never get tired of the view and the place in general. Im not sure if food is allowed here as well as dogs. There is a "Park Rules" list by the entrance but some have been plastered with stickers (idk why people do this). There're fishing spots and a place for you to clean your catch, there's plenty of sitting areas and you can stay by the grass as well. Just please dont litter. Ive seen love locks starting to pop up in the rails. Honestly it looks cute and cool but I prefer this does NOT become a fad. I dont know if most people realize but the more locks people put, the easier the structure begins to deteriorate. Imagine thousands of locks in one area, it will weight down Pier C with risk of it collapsing. So if youre ever tempted to put a love lock here (or anywhere for that matter) please reconsider and help Hoboken preserve this beautiful place for a long time! read more

I like that Pier C is its own little island you have to cross a bridge to get to. It's a lot smaller than Pier A (is there a Pier B?) and offers slightly different but still great views of Manhattan. This park seems better for a quick stroll around than one you may spend more time sitting and being at. There was a playground which is nice for people with kids. There's also a gate at the end of the way with locks. I didn't get it, and when I looked up why, it seems corny and also not very appealing to look it. Since it's so close to Pier A and thus close to Hoboken terminal, it's worth a quick walk around to see the views, but it is the smaller of the two parks. read more

Pier C - Parks Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

A great park for walking your dog or just enjoying a view of NYC. COVID Measures: I saw signs around the park this weekend which read "No mask, no entry." However, there weren't any people enforcing this rule (at least from my oerspective). However, people generally maintained their distance from others so I didn't feel too worried about the situation. Facilities: Besides having a pear that just out into the river, Pier C Park has a small playground on an island connected to it by a small bridge. Parents would probably love this, especially if they wanted to bring their kids around for a stroll. Environment: The environment around the park is very relaxing and definitely gives out a residential vibe. Close by to the park there is a runner's path lined by trees which seems to be very popular with the locals. Verdict: This park is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are looking to get a breath of fresh air during the pandemic. Cheers. read more

It's been quite a while that my partner and I have visited the water front in Hoboken. This place seems to be pretty new with kids playground in the center of the island. They have grass section, benches, observation binoculars to see Manhattan and the surrounding area. The scenery is still quite amazing with a whole panoramic view of the New York skyline. You are situated between Midtown and downtown Manhattan if you want to know position of where this is at. What a great place to sit and relax which we highly recommend it. read more

Love this park. It has a beautiful view of the water and the NYC skyline. Pro tip to the boys: It's a perfect date-but-not-yet-a-serious-date spot. My favorite thing to do is to bring a friend or otherwise to this spot and walk and chat with a cool bev in hand. I have had the best conversations walking along here. Something about the views just puts your mind at ease and you just feel open. I usually go in warmer weather. Today was brutally cold by the water especially after sundown. But it was beautiful nonetheless. Also, if you have children, they have such an aesthetic AF modern looking playground that even adults can appreciate. Really enjoy the intentional design that was clearly thought into every aspect of this park over the water, from the benches, to the landscaping to all of the structures housed here. It honestly never gets old. There are lots of piers and walkways along Edgewater, Hoboken, and Jersey City but this one is the best. My forever secret spot I only bring certain people to. Today, I share it with you because I guess you're special! :p read more

Pier C Park is another park in Hoboken. It has more great views of Manhattan. This is in the middle between two other parks. It has a play area for children. There's also lots of green space. It can be hard to tell these parks apart. It's hard to see the signs. This is the second park coming up from the Hoboken Terminal. It kind of blends into Frank Sinatra Park. There's a path through the park and lots of places to sit. It has several binoculars on the pier so you can see Manhattan. The view is even better than the other parks. If you're in Hoboken you need to see it. It's probably the best views of Manhattan from the New Jersey side. Well even if not it's still great views. read more

One of the newer piers in town! It is a welcome addition with a playground and a cool entrance walkway. They also have plenty of seating to just chill and enjoy the view. They did a nice job designing this pier since it is good for all ages. I think they close it at night so you can't hang too late which is probably for the best. This is a perfect addition to the Hoboken waterfront and I will be back! read more

Beautiful scenery, easy parking, and very nice place to walk around and enjoy the area. Highly recommended.

What a gorgeous little playground on a cute little island. I did not realize this was here until very recently. My kids absolutely love it. There is a ton of police presence throughout the area and the playground itself is very well tended to. With all of the food trucks, bars, grilles, and cafe's nearby. It is a great spot for families to come and allow their kids to enjoy some time to themselves while the adults trade places every so often to grab food, drinks, or snacks. There was one food truck vendor I need to find on Yelp who was selling old school dipped ice cream cones who was absolutely fantastic. He made a mistake in one of the cones which we caught and he just said, "ah no worries, my mistake" and just gave us the extra cone. We tried to pay him for it, but he wouldn't accept it. The extra cone my toddler happily accepted. Not only is the park wonderful but the food trucks and their owners are exceptional and appropriately priced. One such truck had amazing hotdogs for $2!!!! We're still looking for the next neighborhood to move into. We're still stuck deciding between Hoboken, NY Upper East Side, and Newport. Hoboken is slowly edging further than all of them simply for all of the amenities the town has available for families, date night, and ease of access. This park is the icing on top of the cake. read more

I enjoyed visiting this pier during my stay in Hoboken. It has great views of the City, free access, clean, lots of space for the kiddies to play and there is street parking available as well as a garage across the street. It's close to everything in Hoboken, so it's a nice spot to visit if you're just roaming around the city. read more

Really nice park, very clean, great views of the city. The children's play area is small, but efficient, I've never experienced a child complain about a playground. The only gripe I have is on the I guess what would be considered the big kids side on the slide. It's a nice slide and all, but the box you have to stuff yourself into to climb up to the slide is a bit ridiculous. As a mom of a super adventerous slide lovin toddler, he wants to go down the slide and I'm not going to tell him no... I just wish they had an alternate way of getting to the slide, like conventional stairs... but otherwise the slide is steep, fast, and fun!! read more

Recently completed and then restored after Sandy, this park is basically a pier off FSD and has million dollar views. There is a playground that looks rather imaginative, a small lawn area for relaxing, public bathrooms, and a ton of seating along a walkway which looks out on the cityscape. What makes Pier C standout is its great design (Michael Van Valkenburg Associates) and the wonderful building materials used. The design is naturalist and modern; the different visual textures created by the landscaping and materials create an organic environment which the modern design never overpowers. This is a great place to detour on your run or take a stroll on a week night; the weekends.... not so much because it's teaming with people. read more

Pier C is one of those little areas in Hoboken that makes you wanna throw on a hoodie and flip flops and take a nice little stroll as the sun starts to set. I watched this pier get constructed as I commuted to Stevens my freshman and sophomore year. Everyday a little piece would get complete and I would be more excited for it to actually open, so when it finally did, I was so excited to take the stroll I planned to for years! It has an awesome winding trail, good for running and walking, and a really good scenery--you are as close as you can be to the Manhattan skyline while still being in Hoboken. Now that I've moved into town I can't wait to start running here daily :) read more

I live steps from this pier and I absolutely love it! On any day that it isn't raining or freezing.. I'm walking around this pier with my son. It was one of the first places he walked when he learned :) Such beautiful views of NYC .. Perfect to watch the sunrise, and it has lighting for late night romantic walks. read more

Great new pier... especially if you want to just hang out by the water, or take your kids for a good day at a park. If you are a runner (like me), come here with the expectation that you will be dodging the families and children who take over the whole park! read more

Ah what a beautiful spot. Definitely a must see location in Hobo. The views of the NYC skyline and the Hudson River are simply stunning. There are magnifying scopes for getting a closer look for free. Lots of places to sit and rest. I suggest you get a meal to go and enjoy it while taking in the view. read more

Hands down the best effin park in Hoboken!!! The view is amazing and the design is so clean and simple. Nice to walk around, layout, play with your kids, and walk your dog. Except if your dog is like mine- 110lb Great Dane mix that seems petrified of the wooden planks and basically crawls on his belly around the park when we used to "walk" it. It's so sad but in a dark way kinda funny. (Yeas, I'm a monster!!) Anywho- great stop in Hoboken for tourists and locals. Have Fun read more

Begrudgingly I have to admit that Hoboken isn't all that bad. This floating park is a gem in the bland corporate boringness of Hoboken. The winding paths, the beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline, and the beautifully manicured grass and trees, along with a fun playground make this a delightful place to spend a sunny summer afternoon. read more

Wow, just wow. This place is beautiful. My boyfriend and I moved to the grove St area in JC and wanted to explore the nearby towns. We've already been to Hoboken, but it was always at night and always for drinking. This time, we decided to check out the town with sober eyes. As soon as we got off the PATH, we saw this beautiful sight. It's gorgeous. The skies were blue, the grass was bright green and there were trees everywhere. It was very serene. A lot of people were reading a book or tanning on the lawn. There was a play area for little kids, while the parents got to enjoy the beautiful view. It really is a perfect view of the city. The only thing I wish they did have was a bar along the pier. It'd be great to kick back with a beer and admire the surroundings. read more

Love this pier! The view of NYC is great. It's never packed when I go on a weekend. During the day it gets busier, especially if the weather is nice, but you can usually get a solo picture in front of the view. The space is really easy to navigate and find, and is also very close to many bars and restaurants so makes for a great place to take pictures or end/start the night. read more

I remember watching this park being built. the anticipation of its first owning was too much. the playground here is top notch. the seating by the river is one of the most romantic spots in hoboken. this park isn't 5 stars. it's 10. don't miss it. read more

As all places along the river in Hoboken, this does not disappoint. Great place for a stroll or run any time of day. Enjoyed walking here after dinner at around 11pm. Beautiful views of the NYC skyline and not scary or sketchy to walk along. Plenty of people were out and about enjoying the beautiful summery night. I wish I lived closer to this place because if so I'd be here every day. Love it so much and will def be back! read more

Pier C is one of my favorite piers in the NYC area. It's got a really interesting design with plenty of benches, a nice grass area perfect for lounging on (because it's not large and flat enough to play sports on), and a playground for the kids.
