About Pier 63 - Hudson River Park

Pier 63 sits along the Hudson River at West 23rd Street in Chelsea, Manhattan, tucked between Piers 62 and 64. Opened to the public in 2010 as Pier 63 Lawn, this expansive outdoor space is designed for lounging, picnics, and informal gatherings. With a flexible, no-fixed-seating layout, the lawn accommodates a range of configurations for events and everyday use.

As part of Hudson River Park, Pier 63 offers a picturesque setting with access to river views, sculpture features, and seasonal programming. The area can host thousands for large gatherings or serve as a relaxed venue for community performances and private events alike.

Getting here is easy with nearby mass transit options and multiple parking choices within Hudson River Park. When staying or dining in the neighborhood, there are several reputable hotels and restaurants nearby, including affiliate-friendly picks to help you plan your stay. Pier 63 continues to host notable events like Hudson RiverKids performances and seasonal lawn programming, while preserving its green lawn for public use and special installations.

Note: Pier 63 remains as a live, public lawn; the original Pier 63 barge relocated in 2007 to Pier 66 Maritime (Frying Pan). For event planning, consider the lawn’s flexibility and the surrounding Chelsea amenities to create a memorable experience.
