Manhattan Waterfront Greenway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manhattan Waterfront Greenway is a walking and cycle path, 32 miles long, around the island of Manhattan. The largest portions are operated by the New York City Department of Parks. It is separated from motor traffic, and many sections also separate pedestrians from cyclists.
There are three principle parts:
- Hudson River Greenway is most complete, running along the West Side, from Dyckman Street in the north to Battery Park in the south, mostly through Hudson River Park and Riverside Park, with a small gap in West Harlem where users must use streets.
- East River Greenway runs along the East Side from The Battery to East Harlem with a gap in Midtown where cyclists use bike lanes in the streets to get around United Nations Headquarters.
- Harlem River Greenway runs from 155th Street at the north end of Central Harlem to Dyckman Street in northern Manhattan. A bike lane in Dyckman Street connects across Inwood to Inwood Hill Park and the Hudson River Greenway.
