Hudson River Sunset Picnic Lawn Off the Greenway at West 66th
Hudson River sunset picnics on a free greenway lawn at West 66th, with willow shade and space to stretch out after work.
🌿 A Pause off the Greenway
A Hudson River sunset picnic needs little more than a blanket at Linda's Lawn, a grassy pocket along the Hudson River Greenway at West 66th Street. Settle under a willow tree with a book, then look up as the river catches the evening light.
The lawn sits just off the waterfront path, ready for a picnic or a stretch on the grass after work. Cyclists treat it as a natural pause on the greenway trail, which continues downtown toward the Financial District and Battery Park. Reviewers keep returning to the sunset views over the Hudson, the relaxing lawn, and the easy access by bike.
Entry is free, and the lawn is open daily from 6 AM to 1 AM the following morning. That long window leaves room for an early read before work or a late dinner on the grass well after the sun goes down over the river.
