Shoreline Stroll at Hudson River Park’s Gansevoort Peninsula

Janes Walk

Led By Avalon Daly AND Jenevieve Joseph, Lead Environmental Educator

Join us on Hudson River Park’s Gansevoort Peninsula and take a tour from our salt marsh to our tide pools. 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.

During the Shoreline Stroll, you’ll have the chance to learn more about these dynamic ecosystems and the storied history of the Peninsula.

We encourage guests to bring binoculars, wear comfortable walking shoes and to bring a hat and/or sunglasses.

Accessibility

The Shoreline Stroll route is entirely ADA accessible. The walk distance is approximately a quarter mile and does not include any stairs. Please note that participants will have the opportunity, if they choose, to walk on the sandy bluff and rocky tidepool area - these areas are not ADA accessible and may be slippery. This walking route has a few places to sit and rest during the tour, and there are restrooms and water fountains onsite. The closest subway stops are about a 10-15 minute walk away and participants will have to cross the Westside Highway to enter Hudson River Park.

Location Information

RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
