Little Island

A daring partnership between Barry Diller and the Hudson River Park Trust, Little Island was born from the unique opportunity to envision a solution for the repair and renovation of Pier 54, and re-imagining an entirely new type of public space for New York City, one that would create an immersive experience with nature and art.

In the evening, visitors will first notice the festively illuminated park from a distance, while strolling down the Hudson River Park Esplanade. The historic Cunard-White Star Line Arch, newly restored and sparkling with light, acts as an entry beacon leading to the luminous bridge and the uplit concrete pots supporting the park. Once arrived, the visitor can explore the various highlighted paths, ramps and stairs, take in a show in the Amphitheater, or simply marvel at the unparalleled views of New York City, the Hudson River and New Jersey.
