Hudson River Park Opens Piers 62 and 63 in Chelsea: Now NYC has even more Green Space

The newest section of Hudson River Park, New York's premier waterfront recreational venue and the largest new open space to be built in Manhattan since Central Park - was officially opened to the public. The two new piers and adjacent uplands join Pier 64 - opened last year - to form the largest new green space in Hudson River Park at just over nine acres.

The new Chelsea construction includes a "great" lawn, a Stonefield landscape created by artist Meg Webster, a magnificent public garden designed by Lynden Miller, a new California-style skate park (already tested by Tony Hawk!), and the city's only Hudson River animals carousel. The Chelsea section of the Park, including Piers 62, 63, and 64, designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, is the newest jewel in Hudson River Park's emerald necklace of waterfront piers and promenades.

With the opening of the new Chelsea area, the 550-acre Hudson River Park is more than two-thirds finished.

Later this year, with the opening of Pier 25 in Tribeca and the upland from N. Moore to Chambers St., the Park will near 80% completion. Funding for the next part of the park will help finish Tribeca, including the Pier 26 boathouse/café, and initiate new construction in front of the Circle Line and World Yacht area between Pier 79 and Pier 84.

The entire Hudson River Park is being built by the Hudson River Park Trust, the state-city entity responsible for the planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of the new 5-mile waterfront park that is revitalizing the west side of Manhattan. The very popular Hudson River bike path, running along the park from the Battery to W. 59th St., was constructed by State DOT and is also maintained by the Hudson River Park Trust.
