Confirmed from Maxwell Place Park'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.
Compact green space on the Hudson River with a waterfront walkway & beach area, plus a playground.

Very nice walk around. It offers a beautiful view of the Hudson River, and NYC. Quite impressive. When you are around, you should take a walk, rent a sailing boat or take a tour in the ferry. It is worth your time and money, you will enjoy it.

Visited Maxwell Place Park while in town, what an amazing and beautiful view. Great location for pictures and nice spot to get your walk on. It was a little breezy but nothing out of the ordinary. Nice spot to go with children during the day, as they have a children's park and you can possibly have a picnic.
Hoboken has the best places to enjoy the magnificent New York Skyline and out of those Maxwell place is one of them. Its a really popular place in the summer for Kayaking, also remains crowded in the afternoon specially for running and cycling.
