Hudson River Park

Sehr schön angelegte Promenade am Wasser mit kleinen Ruheoasen.
Man kann hier bei schönem Wetter schön flanieren und die New Yorker gehobene Klasse beobachten.
Die Skyline von New Jersey ist auch sehr sehenswert.

This is a pet friendly park, which is a plus for many, including myself, but please clean after your pets!!! We need to let this park remain beautiful and clean so please do your part!
Besides walking and jogging like many seem to do here, biking is a great way to get around! The park’s smooth pavement allows for easy rides to and forth destinations.
The view is spectacular and I think you can see New Jersey from here!

When my boyfriend said he wanted to bike around New York City, I instantly became anxious and pictured us weaving between the cars of short-​tempered «cityfolk». My cruiser bike skills were no match for bustling traffic in this mini scenario I had concocted in my head.
Thank the heavens for the Hudson Pike Path.
Easy-​to-​rent bikes, wide lanes, long stretches and an easy route make this path an easy 5 stars in my book. Our couple mile ride gave me just enough time to build up confidence and hit the streets when it was necessary. I highly recommend renting a bike at one of the many spots around town and giving this path a whirl for great skyline and water views as well as a Ground Zero drive by.

A favorite of mine for a nice run, walk or book read. Never crowded and amazing sunsets though it can get quite hot here mid-​day.

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.

I was in the area for pride 2015 & it was nice. well at least the area. The crowd was ratchet as fuck & i wanted no parts. However the view of everything is beautiful

Nice park. Theyve layed a nice,
very even pavement lending to a smooth skate surface and unbumpy ride as opposed to many of the citys potholed and uneven streets with that construction gravel strewn about.
No! This is different and it is nicer.
So NY may indeed love us and want us to enjoy some time relaxing on her grassy lawns or tables set up, and wooden benches facing the windy hudson river looking out across to Jersey.
Such bright lights looming overhead makes me feel super safe similar to when youre under an interogation light wif which everyone can totally see me doing whatev Im doing there.
Walking a cat on a harness should be a normal site. Its not normal or right to keep them inside your pent up apartment for their entire lives and they never see or ever be a part of their natural habitats from time to time.
Please take your pets out especially since this is a pet friendly park with a long and wide walkway, complete wif refreshment kiosks around.
Kewl and interesting peops are here. Skaters, hippies, runners, students, young families and friends of every race come together to enjoy a walk along, relaxing picnic or biking thru this long ass park.

I couldn’t believe it when I read that HRP is the second-​biggest park in Manhattan after Central Park and it’s still being finished, apparently. It’s skinny but over 4.5 miles long.
I enjoyed a couple of strolls along the waterfront during my stay, checking out the view of New Jersey, people watching, not feeling guilty eating ice cream whilst hundreds of joggers went by with their running apps and ear phones…
Heading south from the Meat Packing District you have a pretty unobstructed view of One World Trade Center. If you follow the pedestrianised route you’ll find yourself close to the memorial area so it’s a more peaceful way to approach it.
Try and stick as close to the waterfront as you can so as to avoid the cyclists and most of the traffic noise — on a beautiful day it’s a great location to find a patch of grass to lay on and feel the breeze off the Hudson.

This is a fave of mine! I enjoy taking a stroll here during my work time lunch breaks. They did a really beautiful job on the roadway. It can at times be under construction which is a complete bummer BUT every time they are done it’s even more beautiful.
Not be missed, The scenic Jersey lookout. Plenty of seating to sun gaze, with the option of shading and non shaded seats. Plenty of grassy areas to sit on, walk on, play on, lay on, or just walk by.
NYC parks department did an amazing job with this. One of my favorite features about this park is the artwork that has been up from June 2014– May 2015. Fun sculptures and interactive grown up swinging eye lens.
I truly appreciate living in a city under a beautification project.

A very expansive park with lots of greenery for sunbathing and picnicking. Dogs are not allowed on any grass area which was a real bummer for my sis. The bike path was a very attractive feature here. However, even with the numerous signs in plain view, the bikers almost never yielded to pedestrians. On a sunny day, I witnessed pedestrians afraid to cross because bikers were going alarmingly fast.
I appreciated the public restrooms– I saw two such buildings, but one was closed at the time. The one I went into seemed fairly clean for a park restroom. What I didn’t appreciate: the guy charging his phone inside the women’s bathroom. He tried to cover his face with part of his shirt– as if that even worked. It’s like wearing pantyhose over your face while attempting to rob a bank. Not smart, not effective.
He wasn’t the only questionable individual; there were random people making a lot of noise. A young couple was slapping each other around on one of the lawns as their friends chanted them on. Attention deprived and practicing a ghetto version of muay thai: not my type of people. The park was good up to 6 pm; after that time, it was less relaxing.
There were numerous vantage points for photo ops across the river, and of the Freedom Tower. Overall, a nice park for being active and for basking in the outdoors.

I think I need new friends. Or maybe I should create a Meet-​Up. The listing would look something like this: «Urban Walk ‘Til You Drop» and I’d gather a group of like-​footed folks who can walk and walk then walk some more. To me there’s no better way to explore and enjoy a city than to walk it. Unfortunately, many current friends now have old feet which aren’t cooperating. That explains why I walked only a portion of the path/​park (from 24^th Street to Canal Street) when, if left to myself, I’d have covered the whole damned thing.
Hudson River Park stretches from Battery Park City all the way to 59^th Street where it connects up with Riverside Park South. It has a 550-​acre footprint along the Manhattan waterfront. It’s flat and long and shares the space with a bike path. It is also free, 100% free and far less crowded than the High Line.
The path provides not just gorgeous views of the Hudson, always at your side. Along the way there’s a plethora of other things to catch your fancy:
* Whimsical, wind-​blown kinetic art sculptures
* A skateboarding park
* A carousel
* The Chelsea Piers (with a bowling alley and a driving range)
* Green lawns
* Playgrounds
* Tennis courts
* Basketball courts
* And more, more, more.
I’m of the school that thinks most every change I’ve seen in the great cities of the world during the past 30 years is for the better. The last time I walked along the Manhattan waterfront it looked nothing like this. Hudson River Park is a beautiful addition. Get out there and walk it yourself or wait a bit while I figure out how this Meet-​Up thing works.

Expansive greenway from midtown melding into downtown with views of Jersey City and Hoboken. Unfortunately the sanitation department also has a building here. Fortunately it’s only a small part of the several city blocks covered by this relatively new greenway.
I enjoy sunbathing here just like many many others. It’s like a little oasis outside of the city but you can still hear the westside highway traffic and see the freedom tower if you get scared you’re not in the city anymore. There’s a lot of biking, picnicking, sunbathing, running and strolling to be had here. Dog lovers your dogs are not allowed to poop on our grass…
Best spot to watch sunset outside of Battery City Park. And less crowded typically.

I love it there, not far from my school in chambers, its nice to walk alone or with friends…

Me when I start running…
running: AW YEAH LETS DO THIS
during running: i hate my life my legs hurt & i can’t breathe & i have 2 miles to go & this song sucks…
Manhattan offers so many amazing parks…
But this one pretty unique it’s by the Hudson River… bring the community together… Lots of fanily and friends… good area to hang out… an outside area where people and animals can interact… It can be messy depending on the losers who leave their trash around… This Park allow joggers to stay in shape with the nice running paths and great views which makes this area so much better… beside this place being good to running this is also good for sun bathing… People come all the way here just to grab a nice tan on the grass… the only reason this place is getting four stars instead of five… there’s no shaded areas… so when you come during the summer time beaware of the sun… drink lots of water!

Love laying out by this park in the summer and taking walks in the winter. Lovely sight to see. People tend to get frisky here so I would think twice about bringing the kiddies.

Gorgeous place to relax and do nothing or be super active: biking, kayaking, running, tennis, eating, taking yoga classes, late night dancing, romance, sweet breezes and fresh air.
It beats the high-​line by a hundred stars and runs a great length up Manhattan. Gotta get rid of the west side highway over at midtown though.

Encore une preuve supplémentaire avec l’Hudson River Park que même en bordure d’une grande voie de circulation, on peut réussir à trouver une zone de tranquillité. Quand celle ci se trouve d’un grand lac, c’est un atout supplémentaire.
Beaucoup d’aménagement pour les cyclistes qui ont en fond l’un de leurs parcours de prédilection ainsi que pour de nombreux joggeurs.

This would get five stars, except there’s always a few spandex-​clad Lance Armstrong wanna-​bes who think they’re riding the Tour de France in the most crowded parts of the path. And by saying they want to be like Lance Armstrong, I mean they want one testicle.
Aside from that, this is a pleasure. Most of the users of the path (bikers, skaters, runners and walkers) share it pretty well and it’s a pleasure to use. It can get very crowded in spots but often there are places where there’s a little bit of room.
As with any place in NYC, the tourists who find themselves on the path seem to think it’s important to block the entire path to take some lame photo with New Jersey in the background.
The best thing for me is that you can run a long way either north or south, it’s flat, there is usually a nice breeze off the river and most of the year, there are places to stop for a water or something along the way. For me, the farther you go north, the calmer it is.

Une partir calme de New York, la baie d’Hudson, il y a beaucoup d’écureuils qui n’ont aucune gêné et qui passent entre les jambes des passants. Il y a beaucoup de coureurs de fonds. Une promenade pour le jogging. Par il manqué de petits marchands.

Well, I did say there’s a reason I only go to the Hudson River on my bio: there’s plenty of fish swimming around.
Yes, you will find a lot of gays and drag queen gays in 5 inch heels, fuchsia lipstick, false lashies that are slipping off and flipping their weaves back, dressing to impress. Girl, don’t you dare flirt with my man!
Though I don’t like the Chelsea area (because it is close to being suicidal with the cars and bikers), walking from Tribeca to the West Village is probably the best part. There are swarms of runners but hardly any annoying bikers like they have in the upper side of the park (Meatpacking/​Chelsea & above). Even though everything is man-​made, it is quite nice to take a stroll and there are plenty of seats around if you don’t like to walk. The park, for the most part, is brimmed with planted trees with modern furniture that almost feels too artificial, kind of like Chicago’s Millennium Park.
Nevertheless, it is kid-​friendly, athlete-​friendly, biker-​friendly, runner-​friend – whatever you choose to do in the park, it will accommodate you. There’s also a boat parked on a dock, which my friend claims is a «haunted ship,» but was closed when I was around. There’s a bit of everything in this park that screams out «WEST SIDE!»

A huge space for children to run around around on and picnic on. The park is right next to the Hudson River and you can watch the sun set from here while enjoying a breath of fresh air. Definitely a great place to get away from city living.

Living in Midtown West has its perks, and also it’s own fair share of pains. For one, you’re always surrounded by the ever-​growing horde of tourists. If you like to run, Central Park is always an option, but you have to run through an army of tourists to get to the running lane. Luckily, there is the Hudson River Park on the west side, that is an amazingly chill place to run.
The Hudson River Park is, as you can imagine, along the Hudson River. From 59^th Street, all the way down to FiDi, you can enjoy an amazing view along the Hudson while running at your own leisurely pace. Gone are the large groups of people walking incredibly slow along the sidewalk. Instead, people come here to sunbathe on the grass, play sports, or just hang out along the water.
For myself, I like to do a couple 5K runs a week along the river. That usually means running from Midtown West to TriBeCa. The runs seem fast because there are actual things to look at, and you get a decent breeze from the waterfront as well. Round trip, my run would be around 6 – 6.5mi, which is a great way to keep in running shape during those dreaded 70 hour work weeks.
For those who don’t necessarily like to run, there are basketball and tennis courts, as well as all there is to offer at Chelsea Piers. Hudson River Park is a great place for people on the west side to get a quick run in, or even just for a chill afternoon away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

I’m not a runner, but running through this park inspired me to jog almost 5 miles through the park and around the city. The view was just gorgeous.
You’re in the city, but then again — you’re not. You’re in a pretty piece of greenery, looking into the city, or across to Jersey.
Such a nice place to jog, stroll, picnic, frolic — very nice!

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!
