Continue south along the Riverside Park Promenade. This section of the park provides a clear path to enjoy the river views without the crowds of the main attractions.

End your walk at Riverside Park proper. Find a spot to sit and relax, taking in the final views of the Hudson River before heading back.
Local tip
The park is best enjoyed on a breezy day. If you want to avoid crowds, the southern sections of the park are generally quieter than the northern parts near the monuments.
