Originally created as Staten Island’s response to Manhattan’s Central Park and Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, Silver Lake Park provides abundant recreational activities amidst plenty of trails and open space.
An iconic urban run and certainly an oasis in Manhattan. Numerous options: 7 mile perimeter path, reservoir route with great skyscraper views, woodsy sections, grand allées.
One of the great runs anywhere, with paths, piers, & parks along the Hudson River on Manhattan's west side stretching for 12 miles from Lower Manhattan to the George Washington Bridge. Iconic views of the river, the New Jersey skyline, & Freedom Tower.
Great running alternatives at the northern end of the Hudson River Greenway: Fort Tyron Park's 8 miles of paths and killer stairs, and Inwood Hill Park's wooded trails. And it IS possible to run over the George Washington Bridge!
A car-free waterfront esplanade along Manhattan’s east side, from Battery Park in the south to 125th Street in north, with a 1.2 mile-long gap near the U.N. HQ. Some sections are spectacular, others a little more industrial and being improved.
Incorporating one New York’s iconic bridges is an integral part of the running experience in New York City. Brooklyn Bridge is a ‘must do’. This nearly 4-mile run features the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges.
A fabulous run with water and skyline views. It’s about 4 miles around the perimeter, with parks on each end. To access the island by foot you have to cross the Queensboro Bridge. Or, access via tram or subway.
