Pier 6 (Open)

Pier 6 Temporary Restroom Location

Park Notice – Area Temporarily Closed

The outboard section of Pier 6 is TEMPORARILY CLOSED until spring for marine-related repairs and maintenance. The volleyball courts, restrooms, lawns and designated fishing area are not accessible.  All playground sections and the dog run will remain open throughout the winter.

For our visitors’ convenience, interim restrooms are available (see map for location). Thank you for your patience as we undertake this necessary work.

With a major entrance fronting Atlantic Avenue, Pier 6 features a 1.6-acre destination playground with water play, swings, slides and other innovative play equipment beautifully integrated with the park landscape.  

A 1.8-acre section of the pier features three regulation-sized sand volleyball courts, a seasonal outdoor food court with 5 concessionaires, an expanded network of lighted pathways, and a renovated building that contains park restrooms and has been clad with the park’s salvaged Long Leaf Yellow Pine. The pier features 15,000 square-foot lawns and is planted with a diverse array of native plants and trees, most notably Sassafras, Bald Cypress and Chestnut Oak trees as well as Sweetfern, Sumac and Serviceberry shrubs.

The Water Lab is now closed for the season.  

A dog run is located on the uplands near the Atlantic Avenue park entrance, and a pedestrian promenade leads from the playground onto the Pier and provides views of lower Manhattan and the New York Harbor.  

A ferry dock is located on the southern edge of Pier 6 providing ferry service to Governors Island and other destinations in the harbor. See the Directions page for further information on these routes.
