Riverside Park, stretching four miles along the Hudson River from 72nd to 158th streets, is considered one of Manhattan’s most scenic parks. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in 1875, the park offers a breath of fresh air with rocky landscapes, lawns, and elm groves. Expanded by Robert Moses between 1937 and 1941, it includes modern recreational facilities like sports courts, playgrounds, a marina, and the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway. With barbecuing areas, hiking trails, and kayak launches, the park provides great recreational opportunities.
