Riverside Park

The expansive park runs along the Hudson River and is one of eight officially designated scenic landmarks in New York. Sports fields , elm trees , and a public marina welcome neighbors of all kinds.

This park was created with love in mind. Enjoy a stroll along Manhattan's Westside while taking in views of New Jersey. Best time to visit is during the early morning or while the sun is setting.

Enjoy the views while walking along the Hudson River and visit each of the Riverside Park dog runs spanning a 35 block span at 72nd St, 87th St, and 105th St.

NYC has gems all over the place if you look hard enough and Riverside Park is definitely one of them. Great view of the Hudson River , quiet , well kept & clean . Good place for light walking or trailing

Another great place to enjoy a great run or bike ride . For those more adventurous types, you can go Kayaking or dive in for a triathlon-training swim .

This park is awesome for jogging, walking your dog, hiking or gazing the Hudson at night with your hot date. Amazing romantic setting and my favorite park in all of NYC.

The place is lovely, whether you go for a run in the morning or a walk in the evening, with trees and greenery all over. When walking, you come across a host of welcoming puppies.

This is a gem tucked away in plain sight. You have beautiful waterfront views & so much greenery here!
