About Riverbank State Park

The Hudson River borders this 28-acre park, which sits atop an active sewage treatment facility, an unusual foundation for public recreation space in Manhattan. It was later renamed Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park, honoring the longtime state assembly member who represented the surrounding area.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
