Confirmed from Riverfront 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.
Grassy park featuring playgrounds, sculptures and relaxing river views.

“Interesting Art installations, a beautiful Riverwalk, and of course the Hudson River itself, make this a wonderful place to spend an afternoon.”
Still great What a great place for walk. Peekskill should be very proud of this area as it is truly a treasure. Keep it up as you continue to improve. We will be back to complete the entire river walk
Beautiful place to visit, nice city, friendly people, great pizza 😋👍, nice local coffee shop, great view river, nice park to relaxing and meditating 🙏😊 I walked from Peekskill train station to the entral city about 15 minutes. Having lunch at the city and relaxing at the coffee shop.
A Gem on the Hudson! Riverfront Green Park is a fantastic place to spend an afternoon (or a whole day!) in Peekskill. The views of the Hudson River are absolutely stunning, and the park itself is beautifully maintained. There's plenty of space to stroll along the waterfront, relax on the grass, or have a picnic.
This is a great place to come and chill. Nice little walking path, near the train and ice cream near by. Beautiful sunsets and friendly park goers! Nice to see the kids out and playing too 😌
