Best view to watch the New york sky scrappers. Also it will be good to seen the skyline on a full moon day rising between the towers like a bulb.

One of my favorite parks ever. Take time to unwind and relax while staring at the view of Manhattan, listening to the waves of the Hudson river crash against the pier, and enjoying Starbucks or food trucks which are 2 blocks away. My favorite part of JC.

I always find serenity in this place. You just have to figure out a good spot for yourself. Hudson makes your mind calm and thoughts positive. World trade adds five stars to the beauty of skyline. One can visit any time here and spend couple of hours. Perfect place to show your skills with your camera. So get well equipped with your stuff and spend hours there.

Nice place to just sit down and think (no, really) just wish pigeons were friendlier (wanted to pet one but none would let me) and seagulls didnt try to steal your phone along with your soul (you know who you are)

I absolutely love this park at Exchange Place. Breathtaking view of New York and the Hudson River, very original looking Park atmosphere, beautiful family of ducks floating around by the pier. Very cool seating arrangements. The only thing missing from this park is public bathrooms I was actually shocked to realize that there was none available, but other than that its a great Park.

Wow when I go to Jersey City I love to go to the water! You can get lot of nice photos shooting into New York City! We are also standing in front of a beam from the twin tower! And behind us was the new twin tower going up. Ofcourse you know that have been finished a few years ago!

No matter how many times I go there I love the place everytime in same way. Sitting there with a Starbucks coffee and enjoying the view of NYC skyline for hours. I have been there mostly in evening but morning is definitely more beautiful. Watching the sun coming out between the sky scrapers.

Great views of 1WTC and lower Manhattan. Theres ferries around and the exchange place to catch a subway to NYC or around New Jersey (Newark in my case). Eateries and the connection via the train to Berganline and Union City.

You have to go to New Jersey to really see New YorkGood place, excellent views when the weather is clear, can get very hot though, so need to get there before lunch time to make sure you can get a place under one of the umbrellas. Also very nice place to go in the evenings, usually a variety of food trucks.

Best Place to See NYC skyline. Parking is a bit of a problem. You can always pay & park. No restrooms nearby. People spend usually 1-2 hr. Starbucks nearby & lots of foodtrucks. This place is crazy

Love this place!!! You can’t get a better view of The New York City skyline. There’s often food trucks if you’re hungry. There’s chess tables if you fancy a game/picnic. Or you can just look at the beautiful view and propose to your girlfriend of seven years like I did :)

Beautiful place. Great site. Its breathtaking. You have NYC on opposite side of river. Youre right on the water. Its gorgeous! Theres A Hilton hotel (I believe) right next door. You have shops in the area.

Beautiful place to watch the sunset over the Manhattan skyline. Plenty of seating, but the tables could be cleaner. The park is fairly well maintained. They usually have events going on here. Great place to take a stroll or eat lunch. Perfect place to snap a close up photo of you with NYC in the background. Families visit here often, and the place gets busy in the summertime.

My favorite place to have a chill time. Amazing view of Manhattan skyline. The ice cream truck is always there to enjoy a cone along with the view and breeze. You also catch a glimpse of Statue of Liberty from here which is seen far away.

A wonderful to gather at dusk to see all people from walks of life. My personal favorite is seeing the Chinese people do a very relaxing yoga like dance together. I love to bring my son to the end of the Pier to play with other kids on the evening before bedtime ...everyone is super friendly.

It has a clear view of New York City and byside of Hudson River. There are benches and desks available to sit and relax. Very beautiful place to chill and romantic too during sun set and morning hours. If you are a yoga person, it has a plenty of room / space for you to relax well and do yoga.

View of NYC skyline is amazing. And of course J Owen Grundy Park was beautiful too. 4 star is due to parents who cant control their kids running and screaming like maniacs it was hard to enjoy the view and aura.

Good place to unwind on a weekend from the hustle n bustle of the mega city. The night view of the New York City is a sight to behold. Good seating arrangements and lots of food carts to cater to every palette! All in all a place to visit if you are around New Jersey.

Lovely place to hang out. If youre lucky to find a good weather day youll have the best pictures and memories with your gang. Best time to visit in summer is after 6 and before 7. The sunsets display a beautiful color on the concrete jungle in front of you. Youll find a lot of people working out there in the open in the cool breeze.

This place, probably is the best viewing point in New Jersey and gives amazing view of the New York downtown. I visited in the afternoon when the sunlight was falling on the tall buildings of of downtown giving a perfect view just on the banks of River Hudson. One can take a ferry to cross to the downtown area. The place has multiple restaurants with outside sitting by the side of river. There is a plenty of sitting arrangements.

Beautiful view of the river! New York is beautiful (in hindsight) and I definitely recommend visiting the park if possible! nice open space, fun to relax and walk around, and during the daytime you can spot joggers, photographers, and sometimes even people catching and releasing crabs for the fun of it. 100% a chill spot.
