    I did not imagine how beautiful the sunset here until I visited the place. I advise everyone to visit it at sunset or sunrise, it's a great moment 🥹❤️ You can see New York from the closest angle

    This is a beautiful beautiful waterfront of New Jersey which lets you see Downtown, Midtown together which should be ideally called as the most expensive view of New York! But when this comes for free it’s an absolute priveledge. Isolated Parking area of Henley Pl. with silence is so much relaxing. Night view is impeccable ! Attached is map location for reference.

    Some stunning views of Manhattan, New York from across the Hudson river. Beautiful walking and cycling paths. There are restaurants and cafes along the way. Lot of interesting sights but the most spectacular are the skyline views of Manhattan and New York City. Sunset views are the best

    Weehawken residence should have free entrance or one payment for the whole family. Especially we are paying big tax compare to our neighboring city. Union city has free pool eversince and has a lot of recreational activities. The mayor is saying that Weehawken has lots of rec activities but check out what they offer, different sports with the same schedules and very limited spaces. And coaches are only parents who are volunteers, they dont hire professionals.

    Wonderful green space in Weehawken (even if it is artificial turf, it’s still green) with views of the city, baseball/softball fields, football pitch, and a playground. Parking is for residents, but I walked in so it wasn’t an issue. It’s interesting to see also the Lincoln Tunnel structure nearby personally, as a fan of engineering feats. Would recommend a visit if in the area, as it can be done with the other attractions in the region. Cheers.

    Awesome pool with a great water slide and extensive splash pad. Word is that more facilities are being constructed next year.

    One of the best places to see the Manhattan skyline. On a clear day, when the glassy, towering buildings reflect that endless blue, Manhattan seems otherworldly, like a city from a futuristic novel. Coming here is an unexpectedly enchanting experience.

    If you wanna see the beautiful side of Manhattan from NJ, this is the place. You can see the enormous buildings in array from here and it gives you perfect photo spots here. Recommend!!

    We just discovered this beautiful place that is first of all great for kids ( toddlers) there are few playgrounds ( sadly no shade) it’s good for this time of the year, if we walk a little bit opposite direction of the new Whole Foods you will find a super cute kids playground with a big field , some shade, and even little sand! Parking available!

    I'm here from out of town and pulled into the gravel lot there since the gates was open and I saw no signs saying it was closed or that you could not park there. I gave my wife my raincoat so she could enjoy the view for a moment while I got my allergy medicine out of my bag in the back of my truck. There was a guy who pulled up and said we couldn't park there and we had to leave. I said no problem, finished grabbing my medicine, my wife got in the truck, and we started to head out. The man blocked the way out and held his hand to his ear. I rolled my window down and he yelled, "Now get the F out of here!" Totally uncalled for and unnecessary. I did nothing to this man, and it is not okay to treat people this way. This happened around 4:30p 9/9/23

    Beautiful place! Best to get the view of midtown!

  • 5/5 Dave E. 7 months ago on Google
    Some of the best views of the City are the main feature here. Walking and biking path follows the Hudson River for miles in either direction.

    I work here it’s many attractions for bars to rooftop restaurants. Exactly across the river to New York. Easy takes you there by the ferry ⛴️

    I'd love to review this pool and recreation area however however the most bizarre thing happened. I received an invitation to join as a non resident of weehawken. I filled out all of the paperwork. When I arrived I was told the computer made an error and I could only swim mornings despite my afternoon confirmed invitation. They would not honor the mistake even though the pool was sparsely attended. Managers could not manage the situation but rules must be followed. Silly. A waste of everyone's time and energy. Looked lovely but I really couldn't say.

    Best views of the NYC skyline whether day or night

  • 5/5 Lolol L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice view. Parking only allowed for people with weehawken parking sticker on their car. If not, you have to park down the road to the north. Finally added the long awaited pool as well. Over all a nice place

    Nice place to have a softball game. We played on the turf field which is next to Port Imperial Blvd. No roofs on the dugouts (for the coaches out there). Site lines for fans is not the best. Foul balls hit back will hit the street and passing cars. There's a large unpaved parking lot between the football and softball fields so plenty of parking. The view of NY is spectacular especially when it gets dark out. All fields have lights so night games a plus. Assume the temperature to be less than what it says due to being on the river. One large building that has real restrooms near the parking lot. Lots of traffic if you're not familiar with that area. The field is literally on top of the Lincoln Tunnel.

    great space, parking was a little tough on the weekend. the park itself only allowed parking (at that day) for residents; we parked one block north by the apartments where they had easy parallel parking / public access to the walkway. great views (Henley Place, 2hr parking limit).

  • 5/5 Jose A. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful views of the NYC Skyline specially at night time. Great to jog, walk or just to sit on the bench to enjoy the Hudson River Waters and New York Skys. Free parking is limited, but with options to pay if wanting to spend a few hours having lunch or diner at local restaurants. A good place to spend a romantic afternoon or just to read a book.

👍👍 This is a great park to bring your young kids. There are swings, slides, jungle gym, and even the water dispensing bucket. There are benches to sit in and tables to bring food and you have a great view of New York City from across the Hudson River.
