      City Walks with Kids - Elissa Stein

      1 EXPLORE THE WATER, DOWNTOWN ALONG THE HUDSON

      It would be a challenge to find a nicer place to skate, scoot, bike, or walk than along the Hudson River in Lower Manhattan.

      Enter Hudson River Park (1) at West and Chambers Streets and explore the scenic paths along the water.

Kids can run around, balancing on the wide benches surrounding the lawn’s perimeter and racing back and forth in the grass.
