From 81st Street to 90th Street, the Esplanade rises above the FDR Drive and merges with Carl Schurz Park. The paved promenade lined with benches along the river includes small flower gardens and a dog run.

It's about 1 mile from the 60th and York entrance to where the stairs begin at 81st. See how many times you can go back and forth during a summer sunset !
Great walk, especially with a dog! Also perfect for a great bike ride .
It's beautiful here. Having the East river in front of you and speeding cars behind you creates quite a balance.
Quiet , great place for fresh air , to get away from the rest of the city , running
There is actually a walk along the east river promenade called John Finley Walk? That is the name of a dear friend who lives in LA. I'll have to let him know? Have a super day!
The East River Running Path is peaceful and the entire route can be a six-mile jog at any pace.
Very relaxing and peaceful environment staged right in the middle of the East River .
Awesome views of the East River from here
Views are amazing, especially at sunset !
A great running track that runs along the East River . Enter on 81st Street or 71st...
Great spot for a jog!
Great thinking spot

Ideal for walking and running. Not bad scenery either. - Chris Myers
Beautiful place and views! Great place to have lunch or just get out of the city, while your still in it. - Momentous Promotions
They have a small or large dog run, depending on the size/preference of your dog. Great area, nice views and very friendly patrons. My dog loves it here! - Paige C
Love their outdoor seating - it's always packed! Great place to work or sit with your dogs. - Paige C
Great secret entrance for this dog park at 60th and York. It's a ramp closed to cars, but works for runners and people to get to the river walk - it will save you going the long way at 63rd. - Eric Friedman
