Hudson River Park Friends’ membership program is called Friends with Benefits for a reason: joining unlocks VIP opportunities, special invitations, discounts at numerous local businesses that take part in our Community Partner Program, and more ways to enjoy your Park while YOU help it thrive.

Gansevoort Peninsula is the largest stand-alone recreational space in Hudson River Park, providing 5.5 acres with a sandy shoreline beach, ballfield, pine grove, boardwalks, adult fitness equipment and a salt marsh—plus, the last remaining block of 13th Avenue!

Play to learn and learn to play in this 4,000-square-foot marine-science-focused playground. It’s a place where children can climb, slide and be inspired by wildlife and the Hudson River nature and habitat.
