Confirmed from Hudson River Park Trust's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
550-acre green space on the shores of the Hudson with multiple activities & bike paths.
What runners say about Hudson River Park Trust
“The walking and biking paths are wide, clean, and perfect for a relaxing stroll or a quick run.”
“Beautiful peaceful place for chill, run, to get coffee and watch the river or play with dog on grass and smell blossoms trees and herbs.”
Very beautiful waterfront park. Great place to take a stroll, jog, ride your bike, or sit down to read, relax, and/or take in the views. Very beautiful views, especially at night, you also get to see the One World Tower clearly. Also this park is great and offers various photo opportunities. Also, it is very clean!
One of my 'Go To" places when I'm in the city. On a warm summer day, hopefully you'll find a bench under the shade of a tree. Enjoy the cool breezes by the water. Enjoy a cold drink you brought. People jogging, walking, surfing on a skateboard. If you time it right, you may catch a nice sunset.
Beautiful peaceful place for chill, run, to get coffee and watch the river or play with dog on grass and smell blossoms trees and herbs. Thank you, everyone who is working hard to build and keep this place safe, clean and so NYC.
Beautiful playground in the heart of the big city life. Perfect place to practice all sorts of sports and a good run with a spectacular view of WTC World Trade Building! IG @ nyctme
