CompassCompass: Enjoy tennis courts, rowing, boating docks, and playgrounds along the West Side Highway. A peaceful running path is perfect for early morning joggers and bikers.

The Corcoran GroupThe Corcoran Group: We much prefer this running path to the one on the East River. The view is incredible, and there's plenty of space for both runners and bikers.
