Pier 6 (Open)
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 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 water taxi 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.
