Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park
4.6 (4,525)park
Rising 69 feet above the Hudson River, this rooftop park features pools, a skating rink, and peaceful waterfront views.
Description




Inspired by urban rooftop designs in Japan, this 28-acre multi-level landscaped space is the only park of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. It serves as a spacious training ground for sprints and jumps, as well as a scenic spot for biking, birdwatching, and catching the breeze at sunset. Five major buildings house its core attractions, which include a 2,500-seat athletic complex, a restaurant, an 800-seat cultural theater, and a covered pavilion that switches between roller and ice skating with the seasons.
