Was there Saturday with my daughter we walked around it was really beautiful she loved it. I can’t believe the prices of the homes over there just to rent $12,000 a month crazy.

Park is nice. But parent(s) who took donated toys from the park - awful and cheap! Donated toys for kids in the playground, not for you and your kid!
Very nice views! A lot of construction going on but I’m sure it’s going to look beautiful when finished !!
Perfect location with spectacular views of NYC and lots of park area to exercise.

My cousin took us to this pier when we visited her place and it is one of the most memorable places we went to while visiting the NY area. The pier itself is very clean and we were practically the only people there. The entrance has a cool gate and then you walk a bit to get to the end where you are met with a very close encounter to the water and have the most amazing view of the New York skyline.
Side notes :
The breeze from being next to the water can be a little chilly so unless it is summer months I would recommend bringing a jacket.
There is also a little greenery area where you can let your kids loose nearby along with a playground so if you have little ones be sure to check it out!
Parking can be tricky but there are apartments across the small street where they have visitor parking and then you can walk to the pier.

Randomly stopped by while on a walk. Has to be one of the most beautiful parks in all of the NJ/NYC area. Breathtaking vista

Amazing midtown views at sunset and a really cool park! Definitely one of the best sunset views!!
A field and track with world’s best view, day and night!
I'm here from out of town and pulled into the gravel lot there since the gates was open and I saw no signs saying it was closed or that you could not park there. I gave my wife my raincoat so she could enjoy the view for a moment while I got my allergy medicine out of my bag in the back of my truck. There was a guy who pulled up and said we couldn't park there and we had to leave. I said no problem, finished grabbing my medicine, my wife got in the truck, and we started to head out. The man blocked the way out and held his hand to his ear. I rolled my window down and he yelled, "Now get the F out of here!" Totally uncalled for and unnecessary. I did nothing to this man, and it is not okay to treat people this way. This happened around 4:30p 9/9/23

The best view of NYC skyline from uptown going through mid town and then down town . Best time to be here at sunset to see the glowing skyline and in evenings to see the skyline sparking in lights . I can easily spend hours here .
The view of the skyline from here is amazing. We checked out the blue moon from here and got some great visuals.
Beautiful place! Best to get the view of midtown!

Nice small spot for a view of the city day or night. You could sit/lay on the grass or ledge an have a picnic, some limited spaces.

This is a great park to bring your young kids. There are swings, slides, jungle gym, and even the water dispensing bucket. There are benches to sit in and bring food and you have a great view of New York City from across the Hudson River.
Nice track! Open publicly and there is light at night until 10pm
Nice views specially at the sunset 🌇

Hamilton Park not only offers a serene escape and stunning views of New York City, but it is also incredibly accessible. During my recent visit, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to reach this hidden oasis. The convenience of a nearby bus stop made the journey seamless, allowing me to quickly immerse myself in the park's calming ambiance and breathtaking vistas. If you're looking for a tranquil retreat that is easily accessible, Hamilton Park is the perfect choice.

One of the best places to see Manhattan buildings in NJ.
If you wanna see the beautiful side of Manhattan from NJ, this is the place. You can see the enormous buildings in array from here and it gives you perfect photo spots here.
Recommend!!
Incredible view of Manhattan skyscraper conglomerate. Parking can be difficult at times and I only saw 2 hour parking close to the dock and park area. Seems like a very nice park for family time with ample space to play and amazing views.

It is an awesome and quiet park with a fantastic view of Manhattan. Everyone visit New York must visit this place. If you missed this place you are missing the real point of New York. You can get there by the ferry.
safest park

Nice place Hudson river view from new jersey, as well as Skyline of new York. Park timing is from 7 to midnight. You can sit there on benches or grass to enjoy the nice scenic view. You cannot play any game here like skateboarding, ball picking, etc. You can walk or do jogging here on the tracks. The late night view from this park is amazing.

Small but well designed, well maintained and always have ample supply of doggy poo bags making sure they don’t run out incase you forgot yours and you won’t have to leave the dog park dirty. Normal peak times are extremely busy. However go 30 minutes before the rest of the herd heads that way and it is perfect for your dog(s) to get some fun runs in and energy out besides their walk alone. Highly recommend. And thank you for having such a well thought out and needed dog park in the area.
One of the best places to see the Manhattan skyline. On a clear day, when the glassy, towering buildings reflect that endless blue, Manhattan seems otherworldly, like a city from a futuristic novel. Coming here is an unexpectedly enchanting experience.

Cute little dog run. Long and narrow. Poorly laid out to see all corners for pet supervision, but probably fulfilled some contractual obligations to actually exist.

Great playground for kids if all ages! A lot of different things to do! The sliders for big kids are amazing
I used to like this park, but it seems to always be closed when I walk by lately.
Great vantage point across Hudson River with spectacular views of Mid/Upper NYC skyline especially at sunrise and sunset. Great for couples and families, kids playground, quiet, respectful area.
Great place to spend time for everyone and every activity except barbecue. It has a small playground for kids, an extensive track field, soccer, football and a baseball field too. You can walk by the park or sit and look at the nice Manhattan view. Must come and see.

Nice little park for smaller children. There is a splash area, playground area, swings, spring-loaded cars for the kids to sit on and plenty of seating areas for adults to watch their kids. They also put out a variety of toys for the kids to use inside the park. All in all just a quiet, peaceful park that the kids will love.
This is one of my favorite parks in the area. Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff. Excellent views. A lot of space. Full track. Tons of sunlight and peace. Too bad they are building condo's that will block the sun and have construction for the next couple years disturbing the enjoyable peace. I wish the city had opted to put a community center here istead of condos. Enjoy it while it lasts!
Some stunning views of Manhattan, New York from across the Hudson river. Beautiful walking and cycling paths. There are restaurants and cafes along the way. Lot of interesting sights but the most spectacular are the skyline views of Manhattan and New York City. Sunset views are the best

It is located in the middle of the Hudson river and was very windy here. But the view is so good, it’s worthy. Fantastic city skyline view, easy access and a nice walk in a beautiful day. Chart House restaurant is next to it, and we had a very steak dinner there once with the wonderful manhattan night view in the background. I highly recommend this place.
One of the best and safest parks for family and friends 👌🏻

Excellent location to exercise, run and walk around 👌🏻👌🏻

Perfect INSTAGRAMABLE and photographable location for NYC Skyline 🏙

There is also some events where you can meet your Niegbor and chill 🍀
A beautiful park that me and my family enjoy.

Terifffic Tower. Would be really cool if they let you in and go up to the top! If given the chance I would open a nice simple Café up there serving clean simple food featuring local beers and affordable American wines.
I know it's a Landmark so your not allowed to change structural things unless it was approved. Would bring jobs and tourists to this beautiful castle. Excellent NYC views for sure!! The Weehawken Library is gorgeous as well!!

It’s a nice and clean park. I wish it was bigger so the dogs could run around more freely when it’s busy.
One of my favorite places to be.

Great waterfront dog park with sufficient room for 4-legged friends to run. And a fantastic view of the Manhattan skyline. It may get crowded in the evening hours (5:30pm - 7:30pm), but normally still enough space for doggies to have fun.

The park is a decent size with a playground, water feature, swings, and a basketball court. It's a bit outdated, and most of the equipment is faded and the swings are low hanging. Some benefits of this park are that it has security guards posted inside to make sure children stay safe, and that it's only open after school hours so you can rest assured no one that shouldn't be in the park will be.

It is really nice. It looks clean, modern and a real nice view. You can literally see most of Manhattan. It's right in front of The Hudson Yards and you can see from the Gorge Washington Bridge all the way to the world trade center. Also nice beaches to sit and relax

Louisa Park is an ok playground for kids. The view is spectacular, of course. But the playground itself is old, tired and in much need of new equipment.
It’s nice that they have a separate area for the 2-5 age range. But it’s not monitored as such. During warmer months this playground can get pretty crowded.
During the pandemic, the town has been really good about monitoring the amount of people and taking temperatures before people enter.

If you’re entering the park during the pandemic, you must use the back entrance across from the middle school. They’ve closed off the front entrance.
I have only visited from one of my kayaks or paddle boards, never by car. At low tide there is a small beach SW of Molos. On one visit I deflated my inflatable paddle board, climbed the stairs and visited the monuments to the First World War and Hamilton, the Weehawken Water Tower (which can always be seen from my home port across the river on Pier 84) and ate lunch at Cañamelao Cuban & Colombian Cuisine (which, sadly, appears to be closed now, because of the pandemic) before, descending, re-inflating and paddling the mile back home.
I was chuffed to come across this little park and waterfront. It wasn’t busy at all when I visited, which was lovely because then it was a lot more relaxing and wasn’t overrun with tourists. Furthermore, as a fan of General Pershing, it was nice to read the memorial and see that the park is in his honour. Would recommend stopping by here if visiting Hamilton Park or are nearby for whatever reason. Cheers.

Beautiful place to relax and have a good walk or jog. It has a great NYC view.
Great little park with live entertainment during the summers. There's a Pokemon gym and several pokestops nearby. Also a Greek seafood restaurant.
Beautiful landmark. You can see it from far away, and I have always love it. It would be awesome if it would be open for the public, to explore it inside and with an observation deck on top!
Si quieres disfrutar de unas de las mejores vistas de Manhattan, es perfecto el sitio. Ten en cuenta es llevar buen abrigo, por que la sensación de frío es mas alta de lo normal.
This water tower intrigued me so much that I paddle boarded across the Hudson to get a look at it (and the Hamilton Dueling Grounds, World War I monument, some good Cuban food...). I can see it from Pier 84, near where I live in Manhattan and paddle from. It stands out as a landmark. It is a shame some of the local Jersey reviewers don’t seem to care enough to even read about its interesting history and preservation.

This is a great spot to bring little ones. The park is small and only designed for small children. There are swings, a small playground, some small spring rides, and a splash pad. The splash pad is definitely lacking in comparison to the ones available in neighboring towns but if it's a good option for a quick visit or for very small children.

There is also a small pavilion with tables so you can sit in the shade and ample bench seating around the edges of the park as well.

During the summer, the parks offer arts and crafts and the staff is wonderful.

There is also only a singular entrance, which is generally kept closed, so you don't have to worry about your little one toddling around on their own. And it's conveniently located right across the street from the high school.

We were visiting the area and found this dog park. It's a tiny but fenced in area that has fake turf not grass. People had not cleaned up after themselves so we picked up about 5 piles of poop before we allowed our dog off leash. Our dog though she was on carpet so would not do her business. Overall not happy with the experience.

The equipment is perfect for a 3 year old and it's all it good condition. There are even sprinklers and picnic tables. Of course the best thing for parents is the stunning view of the city.

Small, safe park for young children, kept relatively clean. It has largely remained the same for the last decade. The water fountain has been broken for many months and nobody has fixed it.

Very cute playground for small kids. My son loves it, though it would be nice if they did a few updates. It's a fun place to watch birds and squirrels. The squirrels here are extremely brave and regularly rummage through the garbage cans.

This is a very good looking water tower with nice benches to sit down and rest.
One of the best tot lots we've been to. We've found the people who go here very nice and engaging. Truly a tot lot, meaning that you're not going to find 5-10 year olds runnin around. This is more for 0-4 year olds to go on the swings and/or learn how to walk. Bring bubbles to the park! There's a covered park bench, a great place to eat food for a group of people/playdates. One of the best features of Weehawken!
