In much of this area, the park has already been completed. Visitors
can enjoy three magnificent new park piers, each providing a unique
experience. Meet your friends at the new fountain at Christopher
Street and enjoy a snack or cold beverage at the nearby concession
stand before venturing out onto Pier 45 to sunbathe or watch the
river flow. There's a dog run at Leroy Street, a children's water
playground on Pier 51, restrooms between Piers 45 and 46 and at
Pier 51, many great seating areas, grass lawns and a completed
waterside esplanade.
Pier 45 is part
of the first segment of Hudson River Park to be reconstructed.
Amenities on this 850-foot long pier include shade structures,
seating areas, wood decking, passive grass lawns, and a water
taxi stop.
The esplanade between
Piers 45 and 46 houses a food concession and restrooms. In this
area, you can also find the bow notch. In the nineteenth century,
this semicircular area was cut out from the land to accommodate
longer ships without blocking the shipping channel.
Pier 51 is home to a maritime-themed children's
playground. A water play area, climbing equipment and slides,
viewing scopes and a "ship's bow" at the western edge
of the pier are some of the playful amenities that can be found
here. Restrooms are located at the foot of Pier 51 on the esplanade.
In
the future
Pier 42’s future rehabilitation may include active space
and an in-line skating area to the east, and passive areas for
reading or relaxing on the west.
