What a gorgeous little playground on a cute little island. I did not realize this was here until very recently. My kids absolutely love it. There is a ton of police presence throughout the area and the playground itself is very well tended to. With all of the food trucks, bars, grilles, and cafe's nearby. It is a great spot for families to come and allow their kids to enjoy some time to themselves while the adults trade places every so often to grab food, drinks, or snacks.
There was one food truck vendor I need to find on Yelp who was selling old school dipped ice cream cones who was absolutely fantastic. He made a mistake in one of the cones which we caught and he just said, "ah no worries, my mistake" and just gave us the extra cone. We tried to pay him for it, but he wouldn't accept it. The extra cone my toddler happily accepted.
Not only is the park wonderful but the food trucks and their owners are exceptional and appropriately priced. One such truck had amazing hotdogs for $2!!!!
We're still looking for the next neighborhood to move into. We're still stuck deciding between Hoboken, NY Upper East Side, and Newport. Hoboken is slowly edging further than all of them simply for all of the amenities the town has available for families, date night, and ease of access. This park is the icing on top of the cake.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jan 6, 2024
It is a beautiful and vibrant destination located along the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway in Hoboken.
with the Manhattan skyline as a gorgeous backdrop, this amoeba-shaped oasis is there to make your day cheerful.
The park offers a variety of activities for people of all ages to enjoy but what I like most is the Panoramic view of New York Skyline. it's amazing.
Take an easy, scenic walk from Pier C all the way to Jersey City via the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, which runs along the edge of the pier. The walkway offers even more amazing views of the Manhattan skyline as you venture south, with viewfinders and signage along the way.
Restrooms are available on-site near the toddler playgroundHelpful 4Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 13, 2023
You'll find this place along the river street aka Sinatra Dr. One of the prominent features of Pier C is the park and playground area. Today there were children frolicking about the park, as they were part of a large group on a field trip. The shaded, grassy knoll became their meet-up point.
If you live or work in the area or even if you're just visiting, this makes a good destination to have a nice stroll. I opted to sit and take in the sun rays. Sitting there makes me feel at peace and the calming breezes help me to do a mental reset before returning to my office.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - 68848610481Apr 12, 2022
Day or Night we always enjoy the views here at Pier C Park.
In the morning, especially on a nice bright day, the view of NYC is so scenic. The park is fairly well kept and clean. There is a little play area for the kiddos but otherwise its really mostly a place to sight-see or just spend some time taking in the view. At night, you get an amazing sight as well! The city lights are absolutely beautiful! Been here couple of times and never get tired of the view and the place in general.
Im not sure if food is allowed here as well as dogs. There is a "Park Rules" list by the entrance but some have been plastered with stickers (idk why people do this).
There're fishing spots and a place for you to clean your catch, there's plenty of sitting areas and you can stay by the grass as well. Just please dont litter.
Ive seen love locks starting to pop up in the rails. Honestly it looks cute and cool but I prefer this does NOT become a fad. I dont know if most people realize but the more locks people put, the easier the structure begins to deteriorate. Imagine thousands of locks in one area, it will weight down Pier C with risk of it collapsing.
So if youre ever tempted to put a love lock here (or anywhere for that matter) please reconsider and help Hoboken preserve this beautiful place for a long time!Helpful 13Thanks 0Love this 17Oh no 0 - 42611302363May 22, 2021
I like that Pier C is its own little island you have to cross a bridge to get to. It's a lot smaller than Pier A (is there a Pier B?) and offers slightly different but still great views of Manhattan. This park seems better for a quick stroll around than one you may spend more time sitting and being at. There was a playground which is nice for people with kids. There's also a gate at the end of the way with locks. I didn't get it, and when I looked up why, it seems corny and also not very appealing to look it.
Since it's so close to Pier A and thus close to Hoboken terminal, it's worth a quick walk around to see the views, but it is the smaller of the two parks.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - 3102031340Nov 22, 2020
A great park for walking your dog or just enjoying a view of NYC.
COVID Measures: I saw signs around the park this weekend which read "No mask, no entry." However, there weren't any people enforcing this rule (at least from my oerspective). However, people generally maintained their distance from others so I didn't feel too worried about the situation.
Facilities: Besides having a pear that just out into the river, Pier C Park has a small playground on an island connected to it by a small bridge. Parents would probably love this, especially if they wanted to bring their kids around for a stroll.
Environment: The environment around the park is very relaxing and definitely gives out a residential vibe. Close by to the park there is a runner's path lined by trees which seems to be very popular with the locals.
Verdict: This park is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are looking to get a breath of fresh air during the pandemic.

It's been quite a while that my partner and I have visited the water front in Hoboken. This place seems to be pretty new with kids playground in the center of the island. They have grass section, benches, observation binoculars to see Manhattan and the surrounding area. The scenery is still quite amazing with a whole panoramic view of the New York skyline. You are situated between Midtown and downtown Manhattan if you want to know position of where this is at. What a great place to sit and relax which we highly recommend it.

Very tranquil and calming. A great place to pull your thoughts together and just relax. If your stuck in a slump artistically this place will help you get your mojo flowing. I love to write poetry and the words just came to me. It makes you feel like you're one with nature.

One of the newer piers in town! It is a welcome addition with a playground and a cool entrance walkway. They also have plenty of seating to just chill and enjoy the view. They did a nice job designing this pier since it is good for all ages. I think they close it at night so you can't hang too late which is probably for the best. This is a perfect addition to the Hoboken waterfront and I will be back!
