Riverside Park Along the Hudson

There is a lovely stretch of waterfront paths alongside trees & grass areas that stretch from the 60's - 155th Street.  The area is open for cyclists, pedestrians & recreation activities with plenty of room to share.  There are paths strictly for bikes.  Alongside the Hudson shore is a path designated for those who stroll, strollers, skateboarders, & cyclists.  Most people respectfully share the space, bikers at a slower pace (not all.)  Walkers staying to their side to avoid a fall (not all.)  Dogs on short leases are welcomed but not on the lawns or you'll be fined.  It's the law.  You've been warned.  I do recommend this walk for it's scenic views of the waterfront, NJ (whatever,) the GW Bridge,  promenades recreational areas & boats.  Many of the boats are docked.  Often times sailboats are out on the water.  The older docks & moors that are deteriorated & obsolete are left intact which is stunning.  The art installations are just tacky. The "Cherry Walk" lined with cherry trees is up around 100-125th. The area offers plenty of shade & benches and an oasis of serenity & activity in the city.
