DoubleDeuceMarch 22, 2018Another great NYC Park running up the west side along the Hudson river.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Untapped CitiesFebruary 7, 2014This park—situated along a strip of shoreline that stretches from 72nd Street to 59th Street—was formerly the rail yards of the Penn Central railroad company. Read more
- Julia XiaoAugust 21, 2014A great spot for a picnic or evening stroll. Expansive views of NJ. Fantastic running paths that stretches all the way down to Battery Park City.
Time Out New YorkJuly 11, 2013Waterfront views and an expansive swath of sky make this green space an ideal location for catching the wind any day of the week. But be sure to drop by on August 17 for the FlyNY Kite Festival. Read more
Perfect spot for a long run along the Hudson. Run south down to Battery Park for views of the Statue of Liberty. Run north towards GW for Pier I, boat basin and public art projects.
Kelsey✨September 10, 2018Lovely running path by the river, but keep your eyes peeled for water fountains. They’re few and far between
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍December 7, 2021Love this area of Riverside Park. Mesmerizing views of the sunset happen here, y'all have to visit and experience it
Paul GullasAugust 30, 2010So I've lived in Manhattan for 20+ years, but didn't discover this until I left? Definitely one of the best parks in Manhattan--the Upper West Side's version of the High Line, only closer to the water
We love to go to this place, everyday :) either for the morning walk or roaming around or eat out at Pier-I cafe.
Come for the sunset and everything that follows. Dancing on the pier, drinks, you name it!
Jin MoonOctober 29, 2016Best park to walk and explore around Upper West Manhattan. It's gorgeous during summers.- Awesome, clean and nice environment. I used to go there for morning walk/run.
- Paul GullasAugust 30, 2010If you don't feel like leaving the UWS on a sunny weekend, you can go here and kinda pretend like you're lounging at the beach, if you don't mind the lack of sand, swimmable water, etc.
Institute for Integrative NutritionSeptember 12, 2011A great place for Fall IINto Action conference participants to visit while in New York! Check out our NYC Healthy Living Guide on parks and walking tours for more info. Read more
From May to September over 100 free public event happen here with Summer on the Hudson and the Riverside Park Fund.
Reading in this spot is great. Plenty of shade not to much sun perfect.- The pier is a great spot to watch the fireworks on 4th of July! www.kashguha.com
- Check out Pier I Cafe for great burgers, beers and Sangria!
- Check out the revolving art installations in the park.

"One of the most well known parks in the world, but despite all the hype, it's still just a park. It's a great one though! lots to do and see and just beautiful for walks. Try some dipping dots."

"Nice place to enjoy a beer next to the water! I would not say it's my favorite place to eat, but I must say I do like their "kale and quinoa salad with chicken and a mustard dressing""
