Riverside Park, Waterfront park in Upper West Side, New York, United States.
Riverside Park extends for 4 miles along Manhattan's Hudson River, featuring tree-lined paths, sports fields, and numerous recreational spaces between 59th and 181st Streets.
Frederick Law Olmsted designed the park in 1873 following land condemnation in 1872, with initial development costing 7.25 million dollars for 119 acres.
The park contains the Ralph Ellison Memorial sculpture and Grant's Tomb, while hosting Summer on the Hudson events with music concerts and performances.
Multiple entrances along Riverside Drive provide access to playgrounds, dog runs, bicycle paths, tennis courts, and soccer fields throughout the 253-acre public space.
The 1930s West Side improvement project covered railroad tracks to create an esplanade, connecting previously separated sections of the waterfront park.
