Great waterfront running and biking , but just be careful - there are certain points of the path that are more narrow than others. Can cause a bit of a traffic jam !
Love running along the east river especially on Saturdays. I start from the 120th entrance and jog all the way to the South Seaport Pier or when I have enough energy, I connect to the Hudson river
Beautiful sunrise, and amazing evening sky views . It's a real shame that the local administration neglects this park completely. It's seems unsafe and dingy and is not maintained well .
Take a calming , relaxing walk by the water when the weather is nice
Great place to watch the ferry go in or out. Also good at night for dates.
Love to take my dog here in the mornings - he loves it!
Run along the East River with other cyclists and joggers or hop on the East River Ferry for a quick trip to Brooklyn.
Beautiful view of the river and track in good conditions and safe!
Path is shorter and less scenic than the hudson river path, but it's nice not having to run next to a highway.
Great place to watch the sunset or see the city lights! ????
Great views and usually breezy for the best run path on the east side. Usually busy
Love running here at sunset
It's a 5k round trip from the East 23rd Street entrance to a little past the Williamsburg Bridge and back!!!
There's a place to exercise. A pull up bar and some stretching posts with instructions from 1989.
A food and culture desert. The only reason to go here is to catch the Ferry .
Scenic , open air, birding. Good bicycle / jogging path....
Scenic and good for running or walking
A nice little park with a very beautiful view !
Gorgeous view of the water, with the city to your back and various greens around you
The bike and walking path goes north right up to the 37th St., then you have to switch to the 1st Ave.
The path gets narrow at some spots so pedestrians/bikers watch out for each other!
Best place to run, but pay close attention to the bicyclist, they WILL run you over.
Favorite place to go for a run in the city
View is wonderful fresh air people just dont mind the car noise
just put in your favorite playlist on the iPod and run! Take in the great outdoors!
needs to be resurfaced but a solid place to get some laps in. crowded in the summer.
I assume this beautiful sight is a ruined pier ?
Slow around the bends or u can run into a jogger , a vagrant, a fisherman or some kids blazing weed and freestylin'
Come here often? If so, read "Born to Run"
Absolutely beautiful. Best place to get your run on !
Nice track by the river
There's nothing like an outdoor jog/run to help clear your thoughts!
Do not step on any of the metal grates or panels on the ground . When they're wet, they're deadly.
a few hazards at times but a good option when looking for some miles.
Nice place to walk your pup~
Beware of tourists walking four across on the bicycle path
I hate running but when I do, its with this epic view .
Run down to the Staten Island ferries and back and you've just run 7.6 miles!
My best place to run
Just the prettiest!!!
Harder, better, faster, stronger.
Always an amazing mix of people and entertainment. One of my fav spots to lay in summer. - Barton Smith
Beautiful respite from a New York day. Plenty of seating, free table tennis, and nearby vendors. - John Gardiner IV
Beautiful park, plenty of seating, really nice in the evenings. Shake shack always has a line, but it's worth the wait - Justin McKissick
Lean burgers. Great ingredients. Love the lamp burger with multigrain bread. - Laurent Magloire
Super diverse Olive bar! Great selection of cheeses. Love this place! - Akansha Sharma
Sunrise is gorgeous, and the night view of uptown is excellent. - Daniel Egan
