Pier 45 is a Hudson River Park pier on the Hudson River Greenway in New York City, with a long grassy lawn, benches and open views across the water to New Jersey and the midtown skyline.

The pier also has sports courts and a public restroom near West Street.
Lawn, pavilion and river views
Pier 45 sits along the Hudson River Greenway, within Hudson River Park. Its long stretch of grass gives you room to sit or lie out, with benches nearby. Trees at both ends provide shade, and tables and chairs make a convenient place to pause or gather with friends.
Walk out to the pavilion at the end of the pier for views across the river. The New Jersey skyline and midtown skyscrapers are visible from the waterfront. The historic Hoboken Lackawanna Terminal, including its clock tower, is also across the river.
A place to move and cool off
The pier works for a run or a break during a longer walk along the waterfront. Courts provide space for sports, and a water mister offers a way to cool down on hot days. A public restroom is near West Street.
Free sunset concerts are held on Friday evenings. If you plan to sit on the lawn, leave alcohol and dogs out of the grassy area; these rules are enforced. Take your rubbish with you so the lawn stays clean for other visitors.
