Hudson River Park bikeway

From Battery Place up to 59th Street, bicyclists can enjoy a sprawling stretch of uninterrupted riding along the Hudson River. For this route, pick up a bike at Broadway and Battery Place and head north. Along the way, you'll have numerous opportunities to sit back and enjoy views of the river, or you can visit one of the Hudson River Park's public piers. The 550-acre waterfront park offers a wide range of recreational activities, including outdoor baseball, tennis, beach volleyball and even a flying trapeze program for the brave.

Biking the entire stretch to 59th Street takes about half an hour, so if you stop to bask in some outdoor fun, you'll want to dock your bike along the route. Beach volleyball, the Tribeca Skatepark and a basketball court are all located at Pier 25—the Citi Bike station closest to that is located at Greenwich Street and North Moore Street. Farther up the Hudson are options for on-the-water fun. Pier 40 (located at West Houston and Clarkson) offers kayaking and rowing in addition to a soccer field available for public use. The station at West Houston and Hudson Streets is nearby. If you're looking for both indoor and outdoor recreation, Chelsea Piers offers a field house, golf centre, sailing classes and rock climbing. A bike station is conveniently located outside the complex at West 22nd Street and Eleventh Avenue.
Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex is a 28-acre waterfront sports village that has something for everyone. Hone your game at tennis or golf, or work out at the sports centre. In addition to sports, Chelsea Piers offers a variety of venues in which to hold your next party. The larger rooms can host a wedding, corporate event or gala fundraiser, or reserve the bowling alley or skating rink for your child’s birthday party.
