Confirmed from Pierson 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.
Hilly green park on the banks of the Hudson River featuring a boardwalk & viewing platform.
What runners say about Pierson Park
“My family especially appreciated how well kept and scenic the park is, with plenty of space to walk around and take in the views.”
“A Stunning Hudson‑side Park in the Heart of Tarrytown Pierson Park is a beautifully designed waterfront gem overlooking the Hudson River.”
“The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful and peaceful, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy time outdoors.”
Ideal for some evening walks and picnics during summer.. kids will love it with play ground, tons of place to run around and bike/scooter around.. Not to forget you got tons of views.. nice sunsets, bridge view, NYC views via binoculars.. if lucky moon views too..
Cute little sprinkler park. My son had a blast . He also like the little multiple hill to run up and down from. The water and the beautiful greenery. It’s worth it. Just keep in mind you have to pay for parking but it’s not that much. I just wish I knew before going there. U can also pay by an app too.
Absolutely loved this park! Not crowded at all. Was enough trees for some much needed shade. The kids had a blast! This park is free, but make sure to pay the meter. Or if you have a parking pass your good. I didn't know I had to pay for parking and got a ticket🤷♀️🤭
A Stunning Hudson‑side Park in the Heart of Tarrytown Pierson Park is a beautifully designed waterfront gem overlooking the Hudson River. I visited last spring, and it blew me away—from the scenic river views and sunset skies to the wide lawns perfect for picnics or relaxing.
