Gansevoort Peninsula, which opened in 2023, is the largest stand-alone recreational space in Hudson River Park with its 5.5 acres of incredible public green space. From a sandy shoreline beach with tide pools to a pine grove, pile field and salt marsh, it is also one of the most fascinating sites to learn about local ecology. An interactive table at the Gansevoort salt marsh (12-4pm) will include wildlife touch tanks and other elements that describe the habitat features
