If you're looking for one of the best skyline views of New York City, Hamilton Park is a must. No…read morematter the season, the view is breathtaking especially at sunrise or sunset, when the city is painted in golden tones. This spot feels like a hidden gem only locals know about. It's peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a quiet walk, a photo session, or just relaxing with a coffee while enjoying the view. There's public parking, and depending on the day, you might even find an ice cream truck. A few blocks away, you'll find restaurants and cafes, making it a great stop before or after a meal. You can even walk or bike the entire stretch from Weehawken to West New York along the waterfront. Whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop here even just for a few minutes. It never disappoints.

Weehawken to get to is sometimes a pain due to the congestion but the architecture surrounding this park is just a perk of the park itself. Victorian style Charmed looking houses and greenery everywhere. Highly recommend if you can come take in the view of this location. Bring a picnic blanket and your camera, well worth the drive!

The only downfall is that it is all in the open sun so the playground does get pretty hot if its a hot summer day. But then you can cool off in the water.

Gazebo - there's a gazebo in the center that was on an elevated cement platform. Baby play House - there was a little play house that looked like it was for babies, like new walker age... Two play structures for kids - lots of slides Plenty of benches around the park A giant pig statue and cow statue to play on Dinosaur, airplane, and police car ride up Pretend nature themed house with a little bench in it A splash pad that was dirty and not open yet. I assume it will be cleaned first. Looks like it'll be like a couple inches of water with a giant flower shooting water down onto the kids.

Located adjacent to Pier 54, which is where the Titanic was supposed to dock, this is a great place to walk around and get lost for a while. Although there were games taking place on the fields, the area itself wasn't busy at all, maybe because of the light rain at the time, but will be on areas to go to again when I'm back in the city.
