Confirmed from Shipyard 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.
Petite riverfront green space featuring city views, grassy areas & family-friendly summer concerts.
What runners say about Shipyard Park
“Pleasant park, lovely family gathering, beautiful waterline views of NYC ,live entertainments and activities for all.”
Small but nice memorial of WW1. If you are in the area and love history, it won't take you long to view the images they have hung up on the wall of the Shipyard Passage. They also have pictures of Frank Sinatra and his star. For a free tour, you can't beat the price.
Very nice place to visit walk around the park. Friendly people all around lots of places to sit on benches or the grass plus a pier filled with food and drink ohh and plus a small beach for yourself or dog to play fetch
Family fun. Parks, walking trails, world class skyline views, coffee shops and dining. Highly recommend for a family day out.
Small park near the River Hudson. Love the sound of the fountain, its just relaxing specially when there is a bit of wind and the tree move with waves of the sound of the running water.
