East River Park

not the best place to hang out. I'd recommend to go to Hudson river instead.

This is a great place for running. The view is great for photography.

Great area for booking and playing sports. Check out the ampitheater.

Fantastic place to catch good free music in the summer. Large open and on the water, great scenery. There isn't much opportunity for grilling in my opinion but its done. If you are going more for the facilities like the tennis courts, etc., don't get your hopes up. There not much to impress and usually taken.

The tennis courts are an absolutely disgrace. Cracks in every court, giant holes in all the nets, no windscreens, and most amazingly, no water that works in the fountain. These are the only courts available to downtown Manhattan residents who now pay $15 for a single play ticket or $200 for a seasonal pass. Do we not have the right to proper tennis courts at these rates when uptown there are more than 75 beautifully kept tennis courts? These courts have been like this for upwards of seven years. It's disgusting. New basketball courts along the pier downtown, countless renovations in East River Park, but the tennis courts languish at worse than Third World conditions. Please complain to City Council Representative Rosie Mendez who controls the budget for this district.
