Visitors enjoy numerous sports facilities, making the park a go-to spot for both locals and visitors. Engage in pickup soccer, challenge friends to pickup basketball, or enjoy some tennis at the open play tennis complex. Whether you're looking to spectate or partake, there’s room to enjoy your favorite sport here.
This facility boasts an array of sports options for enthusiasts. Whether you're running beside the FDR Drive, appreciating the panoramic views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, or exploring the park's pathways on bicycle, your recreational needs are met. As part of Manhattan's Waterfront Greenway, the park features scenic routes for cyclists and pedestrians alike to explore.
An important reminder: The area of East River Park south of Stanton Street is temporarily closed due to ongoing construction connected to the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project. However, the park remains open north of Stanton Street, accessible via E. Houston Street, 6th St Bridge, or 10th St Bridge.
If you're up for more outdoor fun, neighboring parks such as Corlears Hook Park, Baruch Playground, and Wald Playground provide additional spaces to unwind and partake in recreational activities.
