Widely considered to be Hudson River Park's "anchor in the south,"
Pier 25, located between Franklin and North Moore Streets, is being completely reconstructed. The pier, which presently extends less than 400 feet into the Hudson largely due to disrepair, has long served as a site for youth programs, volleyball, miniature golf, and other activities. The pier also has supported a snack bar, and served as a mooring site for the M/V Yankee, a privately-owned boat.
Summary
The future Pier 25 will extend for 1,000 feet into the river, becoming the longest pier in Hudson River Park. The enhanced pier will feature a much improved mini golf area, an exciting children's playground, and beach volleyball courts. A large lawn area at the western end will allow visitors to enjoy the incredible views, and a dock and mooring area will be located on the southern side of the pier. Historic boats also will be located here. Nearby, park users will experience a brand new skate park.

The Pier 25 construction plan consists of the sequenced removal and demolition of the existing pier and bulkhead elements, followed by construction of a new Pier 25 and pile supported structure, to feature approximately 3.5 acres of recreational space.
Bulkhead reconstruction will be performed in several areas, accompanied by the fabrication and installation of floating docks with gangways and ramps.
