Such a nice, new, well-maintained, clean park. I hope it will stay that way, as they complete the final phase of the multi-part expansion!

A beautiful park. It's a great place for a afternoon or evening stroll. Every so often it opens up to a beautiful view of the river. It's also broken up by nice little garden arrangements and playgrounds. Best of all, you see almost no tourists.

Really nice location for a run. Pretty busy in the evenings with mostly runners and walkers. Really enjoyed there being a lack of the typical New York street vendors and sketchy people. Only saw one restroom in a 30 minutes walk.

Perfect for walking, sunbathing, riding a bike, it also has green areas where you can have picnics and have a nice time with your family or friends

One of the best places in NYC to some fresh air, beautiful views and relax.

Beautiful park along the Hudson River from 59th Street to 72nd Street with swings, volleyball courts, sunning areas, dog parks. Featured in my book, New York City Scavenger: The Ultimate Search for New York City's Hidden Treasures.

Pier "i" Cafe on the river is wonderful. Walking along the river especially with a sunset is calming , and again, wonderful experience. Many people bike, jog, walk dogs and bring children and occasionally Rollerblade along this amazing waterfront park. Personally I meditate regularly in Riverside Park.
