Description

Built atop the remains of Pier 54 and Pier 55, Little Island is an amazing artificial island park in the Hudson River west of Manhattan in New York City. It is a brilliant engineering accomplishment - the entire island sits on top of 280 concrete piles (the leftover structure from the pier) and 132 concrete "tulips," which are all different shapes. Little Island was designed by Thomas Heatherwick of Heatherwick Studio with landscape design by Signe Nielsen of MNLA who conceived Little Island as a leaf floating on water. Little Island offers unique panoramic views of the city from varying vantage points, which can be accessed by following the winding pathways sprinkled throughout the park.
