Hudson River Trust Unveils Piers 62 & 63


The Hudson River Park has recently unveiled three new additions to "Chelsea Cove", Piers 62 & 63 along the Hudson River front.
A merry-go-round, designed by The Carousel Works, a new 15,000 square foot skate park, from California Skateparks, and Site Design Group, tested by Tony Hawk prior to the parks unveiling, and an open air lawn and garden space.

The Carousel is located on pier 62, off 23rd street and the Hudson River and sports 33 animals and magical creatures. It's only $2 a ride.

Gov. David Paterson Manhattan Borough president Scott Stringer, Hudson River Park Trust chair Diana Taylor and Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe were in attendance at the opening to launch the park.
The Hudson River Trust estimates the following extension of the park, located in TriBeCa, will be opened in October with a boathouse and café.
