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.
