Little Island

Elevated above the Hudson on whimsical tulip-shaped pylons, Little Island invites visitors into a dreamscape of winding paths, rolling lawns, and panoramic city and river views—a true marvel of contemporary landscape design. Created by Heatherwick Studio, its undulating terrain is alive with over 350 species of flowers, trees, and shrubs, offering a dynamic botanical experience through all seasons. The park pulses with creativity, hosting free and ticketed performances in its iconic 687-seat amphitheater and intimate Glade stage, making every visit an opportunity to encounter art, music, and community in a setting unlike any other. Whether you come for a sunset picnic, a spontaneous concert, or simply to wander amidst living sculpture, Little Island is an urban oasis that celebrates the best of New York's ingenuity and spirit.
