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 the RMS Lusitania and was the destination of the RMS Titanic. The piers replaced a hodgepodge of run-down waterfront structures with a row of grand buildings embellished with pink granite facades.The piers are currently used by the Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex. The complex includes film and television production facilities, including those for NBC Universal , a health club and spa/salon, the city's largest training center for gymnastics, two basketball courts, playing fields for indoor soccer, batting cages, a rock climbing wall, and dance studios. In addition there is a bowling center, a golf club with multi-story driving range, and two full sized ice rinks for skating. Sky Rink has the only year-round ice skating rinks in Manhattan. The complex also includes a marina for mooring private boats and four dedicated event spaces: Pier 60, The Lighthouse and Current, all operated by Abigail Kirsch Catering, and Sunset Terrace at Pier 61. On July 12, 2012, Chelsea Piers Connecticut opened in Stamford, Connecticut, offering a wide range of sports venues, including indoor fields, basketball and volleyball courts, twin ice rinks, an Olympic pool, a health club, tennis courts, squash courts and more.
