One of only eight officially designated scenic landmarks in New York City, Riverside Park is regarded as Manhattan's most spectacular waterfront park. Stretching along the Hudson River, the park offers numerous recreational activities, including sports courts and fields, a skate park and a public marina. A number of monuments can also be found within the park, including the American Memorial to Six Million Jews of Europe. Be sure to visit during the summer for Shakespeare in Riverside Park.
