Riverside Park (Manhattan)
Riverside Park
is a scenic waterfront public park on the
Upper West Side
of the
borough
of
Manhattan
in
New York City
, operated and maintained by the
New York City Department of Parks and Recreation
. The park consists of a narrow strip of land between the
Hudson River
and the gently curving rise-and-fall of
Riverside Drive
. When the park was first laid out, access to the river was blocked by the right-of-way of the
New York Central Railroad
West Side Line
; later it was covered over with an
esplanade
lined with
honey-locusts
. Riverside Park also contains part of the
Manhattan Waterfront Greenway
which encircles Manhattan's waterfronts, with car-free bike routes.
