  • Great place to take in majestic views of New York City and the Hudson River in the background. Only downside is that the park does not allow dogs.

  • Such a gem!! The view of midtown is spectacular. I’ve been in New York for over 30 years and this is my first time here. I’ll definitely be back with the family.

  • Hamilton Park is somewhat of a hidden gem for those who don’t live in New Jersey. Beautiful park from dawn to dusk with gorgeous sweeping views of Manhattan. Amazing running path. Extremely well kept, clean and groomed park with almost no trash in sight. A hidden gem for those who don’t live in NJ and only a max 20 minute $4 bus ride to get to. Highly recommend checking out. Also, immense amount of history to go along with it.
  • Untouched gem at Weehawken waterfront. Park is well maintained and very clean. Spectacular Manhattan skyline views. The park is safe to explore any time of the day and is wheelchair accessible. A few parking spots are there if you get lucky. Overall a very serene place to spend time! Highly recommended!!
  • Great place to get away from downtown Manhattan, or if you love the city but just don't want to go there. Just a short a few blocks off the first couple of exits from the Lincoln Tunnel, free parking in a beautiful neighborhood which includes these views. A walk around the neighborhood is an absolute must. The mix of houses range from multimillion-dollar mini mansions in good taste to just beautiful homes that are well-kept quaint and absolutely adorable
  • Amazing view of New York City skyline. Clean. Lawn is great for yoga or picnics with a view. Places to sit with tree shades. Recommended.
  • To be fair, it's not that much of a park, more of a simple overlook, but the view is breathtaking. Any mention of the Hamilton/Burr duel is limited to an out of the way plaque which I guess is fair since the actual duel took place by the river and not upon the clifftop. A place to stop at if you happen i be paying by but not really anything you need to make a trip for. Super easy to get to though if you're exiting Lincoln Tunnel. But really, just a small patch of grass on top of a cliff.
