Ryan BrightOctober 2, 2016Favorite running and biking paths in NYC. Beautiful views of the river and NJ skyline. Plenty of seating along the path. Bring a blanket and picnic in the grass on a sunny day!
One of my fave spots in the city for a stroll. Escape the furnace that is Manhattan through the summer and stroll from TriBeCa up to Chelsea. Kid friendly parks throughout.
The Corcoran GroupJanuary 6, 2012This is definitely one of our favorite places to enjoy a scenic (and FLAT) run or bike ride – just pay attention to the separate pedestrian and bike lanes and you’ll be fine.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍July 13, 2020Hudson River Park is the second largest park in Manhattan after Central Park. It runs from about Battery Park all the way to 59th. Great park to walk around, a mix of both the city and nature
Love this park, stretching for miles along the Hudson. Beautiful sunsets and plenty of room on the strip of land that extends from Downtown to the Upper West Side and beyond!
Penguin TeenAugust 13, 2012There are some amazing areas to relax along this Western stretch of Manhattan. With its waterfront views, cafes, and dog parks, there are a million places to settle in and read for the day!
Amazing waterfront views! This park goes on & on. It starts way downtown in TriBeCa by Battery Park City & goes up to W 59th St in Hell’s Kitchen, along the Hudson River.

Nikki BogopolskayaJuly 10, 2014Best park in NY for a run, bike ride, or good old fashioned picnic and water views. PS: Vintry in Battery Park City is the closest wine shop.
Jenice MichaelsApril 7, 2021What a lovely little park and a welcome respite from the sun. It's a beautifully landscaped park with fascinating gardens, original artwork, and relaxing areas.

Carmen Gloria RiquelmeJune 16, 2016It's look like the sea, is really nice just walk or ride your bike. In spring and summer enjoy the sun and lay in the grass, in winter also.
Neil McGuinnessMarch 15, 2014I go to this park a lot when the weather is nice for lunch. Each pier is different then the other. Hudson River Park is a great place to spend a day.
NYC PrideNovember 29, 2011Gorgeous vistas of the mighty Hudson and plenty of space to scamper about with your two-legged and four-legged friends. Also the site of Pier 54, host to the annual Dance on the Pier.- Great views of downtown and a perfect spot to watch the sunset.
MajkenPApril 24, 2014Take your own bike or rent on. Wonderful ride from the view to the Statue of Liberty to High Line Park or even further up north

Jenebeth OrtizAugust 23, 2017Sunset Tango in Pier 45 on wednesdays and sundays ... just the perfect setting
John AJuly 25, 2015Lots to do here.. From doing nothing but sitting in the sun, to people watching, running, food/drinks, to watching the sunset... Can't go wrong.
New York HabitatFebruary 28, 2014If you're looking for great outdoor activities, this is a great park that features various fitness and dance activities, concerts and move flicks!
NoviApril 18, 2015Good for biking, running and even solo exercising in their mini artificial grass field
Martin SandbergApril 10, 2013Great place to bring lunch and enjoy some sunshine if you work in Meatpacking and don't mind the surrounding traffic

lomographyJuly 26, 2011The Hudson River Park is a bit of utopia in this urban jungle. Beautiful views of the Hudson River. Great for a picnic and photo ops!
G WongMarch 23, 2012Probably one of the most relaxing places in Manhattan, the river by your side, tourist-free (mostly) and the beautiful boardwalk areas
FamilyFunFebruary 15, 2012Miles of bike paths (no street-riding, we promise) fronted by playgrounds, art installations, grassy patches, and even views of Lady Liberty.
CompassApril 21, 2014Hudson River Park spans five miles down the West Side Highway and is lush with greenery during the summer.
- Best park in Manhattan. Have a picnic and be discreet with your wine and beer
ThrillistJune 11, 2013The perfect place for a stroll and a cigar. Blow smoke rings, even if you can’t.
SHOWRUNNERNovember 22, 2012Pick-up games run all night on well-lit courts by the water. Perfect for those of us with less than normal working hours.
If you happen to just miss the red light going in your direction across the West Side Highway you might as well jump out in front of a bus because it's never going to change
