Chelsea Piers

Chelsea Piers is a huge complex of four restored historic piers on the west coast of Manhattan, New York City. This is where large passengar ocean liners berth in the early part of the 20th century, and was the destination of the ill-fated Titanic. The piers are located off 11th Avenue, between 17th and 23rd Streets.

Today the piers have been turned into the Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex. It includes all types of sports facilities including a health club, a spa, the biggest gymnasium in New York City, two basket ball courts, extreme sports facilities and dance studios.

The Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Center also has a bowling alley, a golf club with a multi-storey range, and two full-sized ice skating rinks.

How to reach the Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex

You have to walk a bit if using the subway. Take the C or E train to the 23rd Street subway station. Walk west on W 23rd Street past 3 city blocks until you reach 11th Avenue. Look for the huge blue-colored building (it's blue at time of writing, March 2010) in front of you.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
