Hudson River Park

Open daily 6 AM-1 AM unless posted otherwise. Individual piers, rooftops, playgrounds, restrooms, concessions, and partner attractions have separate hours.

There is no single park lot and west-side parking is expensive. Transit, walking, biking, and choosing a cross street for the intended pier are usually best.

Plan by pier number and cross street rather than using the general park address. The park extends from Tribeca to West 59th Street, so arriving at the wrong section can add miles.

Accessible restrooms are distributed at Pier 25, Pier 40, Pier 45, Pier 51, Gansevoort Peninsula, Little Island, Pier 57, Chelsea Waterside, Pier 84, Pier 97, and other facilities; hours vary by location and season.

Park entry, public lawns, many playgrounds, and many programs are free. Commercial attractions, food, rentals, and some activities charge.

Major park paths and public restrooms are accessible, but some piers and partner spaces have distinct routes, elevators, and schedules.

Leashed dogs are permitted on designated paths and dog runs are available, but dogs are excluded from lawns, playgrounds, beaches, and some piers or partner spaces.

Pier 25, Pier 51, Chelsea Waterside, Gansevoort Peninsula, Pier 57, Little Island, sports fields, and river ecology programs provide varied family options.

Multiple subway lines and crosstown buses reach neighborhoods east of the park. Expect an additional walk west to the river after leaving transit.

The adjacent Hudson River Greenway bikeway is not part of the park and moves quickly; cross it carefully at marked locations. Pier-specific rules and restroom hours should be checked before a long visit.

Check New York City's hourly forecast, heat index, rain, wind, air quality, and sunset. Waterfront, island, and elevated parks can feel windier and more exposed than nearby streets.
