Lincoln Harbor Park

Excellent spot!
1) The views from here are amazing.
2) Excellent place to walk, run, bike.
3) Overall, it is well maintained.

This is where the Lincoln Harbor/​Weekhawken NY Waterway ferry is, so there’s quite some human traffic during the rush hours. I take the NJ transit to/​from Port Authority and see people walking their dogs and jogging all the time. I, however, wouldn’t trek out here to do it, since I live on the riverline anyway, but for those who live near here or want to take some good scenic shots, this is one of the few places along the river that won’t give you parking trouble. There’s a Houlihans, Ruth Chris, and some other restaurants in the center, so you can grab a bite or a drink if you’re strolling through this area.
The view from the NJ side is why I just can’t give up and move back into NYC. Even though living on the riverside of NJ is quite expensive, it’s well worth it. I just love the view, less crowding, and more space (especially for my dog). I’ve also seen some people attend a yoga class in the park nearby, so look that up if you’re interested!

Came here for a jog since the weather was so nice. There is a walkway along the river front that has an amazing view of Manhattan. They have a public/​visitor parking lot which makes it convenient. Its good for running/​biking/​walking. Plenty of restaurants around the area too if you’re hungry after a long walk.

If you enjoy biking (or running) on the path along the Hudson River like I do, this is a great starting point and there is plenty of free parking on the weekends. The path weaves through Weehawken, Hoboken, and all the way to JC. This is not a park and there is no pier to enjoy but there is a view of fancy yachts and the skyline behind them.
