Denny Farrell Greenway Bridge

A 3.5-mile green ribbon in Manhattan, the Denny Farrell Greenway Bridge links the Upper West Side to the Hudson River Park promenade. Pedestrians, joggers, and cyclists all rely on it daily, especially near Riverside Drive. The path runs from 72nd Street down to Pier 76, letting people dodge traffic without detours. West Side Highway crossings are built in, so a car-free stroll feels effortless.

Find it hugging the river between 72 and 30 on the West Side. Riverside Dr New York, NY 10031 sits steps from the water and the traffic hum of the FDR. The route passes playgrounds and piers, turning a routine walk into a scenic detour. Lighting and railings run the length, making it usable pre-dawn or after dusk.

Sidewalks stay wide enough for strollers, skateboards, and dogs on short leashes. Waterfront benches offer river views without leaving the path. Seasonal shade and open sunbathers toggle as you pass playground clusters. Cross the greenway after dinner and judge the sunset colors directly over the Hudson.
