This might look cute but this is creating more harm than good. Those rocks are there to stop costal erosion from happening. Stop moving those rocks!
Surreal. simple. whimsical. not a reason to visit new york, but a true hidden treasure. the art isnt only in skill, but in dedication—you can easily knock them over(dont). there shoukd be no worry of soil erosion as there is still plenty of rocks and its really not a major issue that the park is facing. live and let live. worth the walk.
Magical display of stone sculptures along the Hudson River bike path south of the GWB and Little Red Lighthouse. Hope the sculptor will continue to maintain the fragile beings he has created and rebuilt when destroyed multiple times. Show love!
The artist maintained the rocks standing for over a year over and over after people kept knocking them down, he would just go and put them back up. Dedication to the arts. It has the Hudson River and The George Washington Bridge as a back drop. No far from the famous Little Red Light House (Yes the one from the children’s book that goes by the same name. )
The stones adding some magic to the landscape. Every time I pass them on my bike, I am charmed and fascinated. Such a simple idea, yet makes our lives so much more interesting.
Magical experience! Especially when the sun sets! Its just beautiful and peaceful! So lucky to live close by!
I thought these were somehow cemented to each other but not so ! Someone carefully balances one upon the other and some of the stones are large and heavy. Im sure the weather causes the smaller stones to topple and Im sure some people knock them over. I asked a park ranger about this and he said a man was there almost every day to reconstruct the the fallen stones. I dont know any more but I get the feeling this is a big part of someones life.
Amazing place for NUNCHAKU FREESTYLE @NYCJPEG #NYCPHOTOGRAPHERS
These rocks are here to stop soil erosion from the river. Unless the park brings in other rocks for this guy to use, its not smart to leave the beach bare like this.
Just a beautiful, meditative place to go to by the water. A work of art!
I love this spot. The views of the GWB are unparalleled.
Great view of the GWB. Stones lined up in creative piles.
Its such an amzing art installation. Fun fact: they are NOT glued in any way
I thought it was cool to see something like this. Very interesting work of art.
A great example of how the artists make NYC special, not the rich.
Great scenic bike route
Love this beautiful and constantly changing art work.
A gallery quality exhibit on the shore of the Hudson river.
Check these out during a high tide.. you wont regret it!
A magical moving ever-changing gift from the creator, Uliks Gryka.
Beautiful, majestic, and spiritual!
Very interesting Hudson River Stonehenge
Off the beaten track but worth a visit
Just a bunch of rocks, came all the way from Philly to see.
This is something not to be missed when you are in NYC.
Enjoy
Peaceful by the river
Nice
Art is everything.
I dont know how long these stones will last
The rocks look like towers I like them

2021-08-27These are fun to look at. If you look very closely at one stack of rocks (the one that is closest to the George Washington Bridge, on the edge of the Hudson) you’ll see that it was cemented together. I did not see any others cemented together though. I’m surprised that people haven’t knocked these down!

2022-07-05Waste of time! Drove almost 4 hours from New Hampshire to see what the stones were all about. What we saw was something anyone can do. The pictures online werent anything like it was in person, nearly half of it was gone. At least it was free and my boyfriend and I took a great photo of us and the bridge.

2020-10-11Loving the walk on this area and making a stop at the Sisyphus stones park is a nice and calm moment, the dynamics of the equilibrium , the focus on the stones surrounded by the park a d the Hudson River make this place a delight.In Greek mythology Sisyphus or Sisyphos was the king of Ephyra. He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity.

2020-10-09Beautiful views of the bridge and the sliver of the city down south. Lovely to walk by and see. It is great to see and interpret the stones from the mythology of Sisyphus.

2018-07-22Met the creator while trying to create one of my own sculptures. Went on to have one of the best conversations Ive had all year. One man provides meaning to so many people simply by arranging stones a certain way, a lesson on the potential we have to influence the world for the better through the simplest of actions.

2019-06-25Great art work! At first glance you think it’s a weird rock formation but of course as you get closer you start to notice its man-made or is it??? :)
