Chelsea Piers is a series of piers in Chelsea, on the West Side of Manhattan in New York City. Located to the west of the West Side Highway and Hudson River Park and to the east of the Hudson River, they were originally a passenger ship terminal in the early 1900s that was used by RMS Lusitania and was the destination of RMS Carpathia after rescuing the survivors of RMS Titanic. The piers replaced a variety of run-down waterfront structures with a row of grand buildings embellished with pink granite facades.

Opened in stages starting August 1995, the 28-acre Chelsea Piers complex transformed four long-neglected Hudson River piers into a private sports and recreation village with no home team.
There's no subway station at the complex itself — the nearest stop is a roughly 13-minute walk away, so most visitors rely on the M23 crosstown bus or a car.
