Little Island (Pier55), New York\u2019s most unique public pier and park, is designed to be the premier recreation and entertainment destination on the Hudson River. Located nearly 200 feet off Manhattan\u2019s West side, the \u201cfloating park\u201d is accessible by boardwalk-style walkways extending from piers 54 and 56. The parks unique foundation was created by driving approximately 200-cylindrical precast piles each topped with a unique flower petal precast \u201cpot\u201d aligned to form the rolling topographical base of the 2.7-acre park, topped with trees, gardens, grass, benches, railings, and meandering paths. An open-air amphitheater was built on the park\u2019s west side, accommodating public performances with the ambiance from the Hudson River and New Jersey skyline in the background.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
