Riverside Drive from W 59th to W 158th Streets, New York, NY
Upper West Side · Directions

Riverside Park follows the Hudson through gardens, playgrounds, sports areas, lawns, monuments, and paths arranged on several levels between Riverside Drive and the waterfront.

The multi-level design means entrances can involve different grades, stairs, ramps, and crossings. Construction and facility operations also vary by segment, so plan around a specific destination.
