Hudson River Park Tours

Hudson River Park featuring a garden and a city
A favorite of locals and tourists alike, this walkway is one of the best in New York City and a romantic place to go with a date.

Many New Yorkers remember their first time at Hudson River Park with a smile. Whether it’s the sound of the currents lightly splashing against Manhattan, the views of Hoboken or the numerous yachts docked just feet from a golf course, this place makes a powerful impression.

Nestled between the West Side Highway and the Hudson River, Hudson River Park is a narrow strip of non-residential waterfront that’s something between park and promenade. In existence since 1998, the park is considered by many to be an example of welcome urban development.

Jog along the Hudson River and hear the sound of boats speeding by. Inhale the sea breeze rolling over the piers and into Downtown Manhattan. Test your swing at a batting cage, drive a golf ball or play a pickup game of soccer next to the water at any of number of recreational spaces inside the park.

Throughout Hudson River Park are green spots and benches. Sit for a while and enjoy the beautiful views. Grab a coffee and meet a friend for a chat by the water. Don’t worry if your outing runs late. Ample nighttime lighting makes Hudson River Park a safe and beautiful place to spend part of an evening.

Know before you go that the park is also a popular place for sunbathing when the weather permits. Bring a towel and sunscreen. Even if you don’t take your shirt off, you will still be glad to have the opportunity to lie down, to have a picnic or nap.

The park borders many exciting neighborhoods. After your visit, enjoy a nice meal in TriBeCa or in Greenwich Village. Rub shoulders with the young and wealthy in a Meatpacking District nightclub. See One World Trade Center, one of the world’s tallest buildings.

To find Hudson River Park, walk west from anywhere in Downtown Manhattan until you reach the water. Take your time enjoying the tour of the hip neighborhoods along the way. However you get here, remember to save enough time for all the riverside walks this park is perfect for.
