About Hudson River Park

Hudson River Park
 

Hudson River Park stretches along the western shore of Manhattan from Battery Park to 59th Street, encompassing over four miles of waterfront access. This linear park enhances New York City's green space and provides a buffer between the bustling city and the Hudson River. The park is designed to cater to both relaxation and active recreation, with bike paths, walking trails, sports fields, and green lawns. Ecologically, the park has been a part of important conservation efforts to restore marine life and natural habitats within the river and adjacent areas. Historically, the park area has transitioned from industrial use to today’s vibrant public space as part of a broader effort to revitalize the city’s waterfronts. Hudson River Park is not only a recreational space but also a community hub that hosts numerous events, performances, and educational programs, drawing millions of visitors annually.
