Spanning more than four miles along the Hudson River's shoreline, Riverside Park originates just west of Lincoln Center and stretches to the northern edge of Morningside Heights, New York City. The park winds its way through a series of promenades and exotic flora with cycling, skating and walking paths. 72nd Street provides the most welcoming entrance with its statue of first lady and world ambassador Eleanor Roosevelt. Boasting a rich history that dates back to the 1800s and includes Grant's Tomb, the park's sublime features shine in an imposing display of meadows, and even wetlands.
