Athens Riverfront Park — Attraction in Town of Athens

Nice park. I grew up in Athens. Live music in the park on Friday night's during the summer. APAC. does a great job year after year with music in the park. For a small village, it's just a plain nice place to visit. I remember back in the day when, Ironweed was filmed and also War of the worlds with, Tom Cruise was filmed right in the Athens riverfront park. Lots of history in Athens. Nice area to have grown up when I was a kid. Not to mention, the view of the Hudson /Athens litehouse on the Hudson river. So much history. If you have never been to Athens, I would strongly suggest you stop in for a nice visit and take in the views as well as the history of Athens. And if you love homes that are historic you will love the architecture on the homes in Athens especially on South Franklin street and threwout the village of, Athens. Nice places to stop in to eat and speak with the locals and get acquainted. Greene county as a whole is and just has tons of neat history. If your on vacation or just ah plain ole road trip. It's time to stop in. And if you have never been. You are in for a pleasant surprise. Enjoy and...

Even though we have been given permission to stay overnight on this dock, we get harassed by some of the quasi-goverment people (spouse or friends of the mayor, for example). It is actually a hostile environment, in my opinion and experience. Several of our boater friends have been treated similarly. Remember, we are there to spend money in their community! We will not return or encourage others to stop there. Athens...

Athens River Front Park (Greene County NY) is home to the "free" Athens Performing Arts Center (APAC) concert series on Friday nights. Where you can enjoy wonderful music alongside the banks of the Hudson River. Iron Horse Cigar is a sponsor and always on hand with cigars for you to purchase. Food is close by with The Stewart House restaurant right next door, Cross Roads Brewing a short walk away and Stella's Pizza adjacent to the park. Great fun night for the whole family. Plenty of street parking, so bring your lawn chairs or...
