What a great slice of life on the water. This little park was built at the end of a pier and features benches, grassy areas and lovely swings for enjoying a moment by the river watching the boats go by.

Such a great landmark of the early years of our city. Amazing to read the history of its construction, use and transformation. Particularly beautiful on a clear day.

Attached to High Bridge Park the access is best from the base of the water tower down a set of steps to a great bike path.

There are no bathrooms anywhere near here so go before you go.

Not much on the Bronx side so plan on a round trip.

This public pier is accessible most days and offers a great view of the Hudson River and great perspective of the Hudson Yards project. The boathouse is home to the Hudson Community Sailing School, a Kayak Polo outfit and a Outrigger company that offer traditional Polynesian outrigger tours on the River.

A hike through Inwood Hill Park and you can pop out right on the water.
