Shoreline Strolls

Join us on Gansevoort Peninsula and take a tour from our salt marsh to our tide pools.

Please note: Due to forecasted inclement weather Saturday July 13, please check our Twitter @hudsonriverpark for the status of this program. In the event that this event is canceled, please join us at the Pier 57 Discovery Tank or the Pier 40 Wetlab to learn more about local wildlife in the Hudson River.

Gansevoort Peninsula, which opened in 2023, is the largest stand-alone recreational space in Hudson River Park with its 5.5 acres of incredible public green space. From a sandy shoreline beach with tide pools to a pine grove, pile field and salt marsh, it is also one of the most fascinating sites to learn about local ecology.

Shoreline Strolls tours meet at the Salt Marsh on the north side of Gansevoort Peninsula. Tours begin at 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM and last approximately 45 minutes.

During Shoreline Strolls, you’ll have the chance to learn more about these fascinating ecosystems from our River Project team. Grab your binoculars and try to spot some of the shorebirds seen regularly dabbling in our salt marsh, or see if you can spot some of the resident hawks that use the light poles (and sometimes even on the inspiring Day’s End public art installation, which was donated to Hudson River Park by the Whitney Museum of American Art) as a perch to find their next meal.
