Pier 97 at the end of 57th Street, with Clinton Cove Park to the right.
Pier 97 is currently used for NYC Department of Sanitation truck parking.
In the future, Pier 97 will become part of Clinton Cove Park. Pier 97 amenities may include a skate park, basketball court and a lawn. Pier 97 may also be used to berth an historic ship.
The agreement, signed Oct. 28, 2005, by representatives of the Department of Sanitation, the Hudson River Park Trust and Friends of Hudson River Park, a community-based advocacy group, requires the sanitation department to get off Pier 97 at 57th Street by May 1, 2008, and deliver it to the Trust for the 5-mile riverfront park currently under construction.
