TR Gallo Waterfront Park

I went on aa 1 1/2 hr Hudson River Cruise 🛳. The staff was wonderful and helpful and different sites of interest were pointed out. Makes you wonder about being among the first to cross the river.

If you like maritime, posh towns, and a happening place, this is the place for you. We attended the 4th of July fireworks with music, food trucks, and magic exploding in the sky and all with a tug boat sitting behind us. Now, that is a unique experience.

Beautiful park with benches along the water.

Beautiful view to the water. Kind of busy on weekends. You can get entertain with some Dance performance while shopping from Market.

Gentrified area of Kingston great social atmosphere excellent spot to take the family what's the choose room for dinner and or desserts

There's not another place in New York that has as much to offer as Kingston's waterfront. Such as, trolley car rides to the Kingston Lighthouse, ferry boat rides, live music on the pavillion, block parties, 5-star al fresco restaurants, and the list goes on! The Kingston waterfront is the "New Orleans" of New York!

Hooley on the Hudson was awesome at such a beautiful location. Entertainment was epic.

I have never seen so much water and the first time I have seen a yacht. Wonderous experience for this desert rat. Saw this beautiful flower.

When you factor in just the nearest park setting, this park tends to be a little small - with few benches. But when you factor in the expansive area just outside the park - this waterfront park can be huge. It's centerpiece is it's monument dedicated to kingston members of the armed forces who've risked their lives and died - found at the corner nearest the waterfront bathrooms near the Rip Van Winkle boat. I myself have found the ability to feed the birds and ducks that go by here often. It can be so serene and these poultry know it. You can often find electric fish coming up from the water below to catch food floating on the water's surface. Then you add in the few benches that exist, and you will get a park. It's gotten worse over the years. Many years ago, there used to be live bands playing on the stages, but it seems like they've all be told to find other gigs elsewhere. A person who sits on the benches, will sometimes hear the soundtrack from what's inuse at Mariners Harbor nearby, but this isn't even the best. There's little - if any - parking existing for this park that is free. You either have to pay for sidewalk-like parking, or you can go into the lot (which often is full of cars from the Landing added to the cars from the nearby businesses), or if you see a non-handicap spot nearest the Rip Van Winkle boat (isn't often), you can take one there. Your best bet is to park somewhere else in Kingston and Uber-down to the park (or Uber to Mariners Harbor and walk). I don't come down here that often, if it isn't for some peace and quiet in busy times, but it can be a necessary place at times.

Boats creeks and plaques T.R, Gallo Park was developed in 1984 and renovated and expanded in the years since then. Not a very large park but it is connected to a river walk so it's possible to walk for several miles along the water. The park is located on Roundout Creek and has nice views of the water and boats at the marina. You can even see a couple of very cool lighthouses if you really try. The park has a nice gazebo, picnic tables, benches and a memorial to all those brave souls that have been lost at sea. Lots of events are held at the park in the warm months and there is even a little place to launch kayaks and other small craft. Not a large park but one in a great location. A great use of the open space down by the marina and water.
